What Cloud IAM Attack Chains does

Cloud IAM Attack Chains analyzes cloud IAM credentials and privilege paths across AWS, Azure, and GCP to determine what access a credential grants and how to escalate. Use it after discovering an AWS key, Azure secret, GCP service account JSON, or K8s SA token from a code repo, JS bundle, APK, or SSRF chain.

Cloud IAM Attack Chains is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Cloud IAM Attack Chains comes from a repository tagged ai-security, anthropic, application-security, bug-bounty and bugbounty.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

When to use

Trigger when:

A cloud credential surfaces (key, secret, token, JSON file)
SSRF chain reaches IMDS / metadata endpoint
APK / git-leak reveals embedded cloud key
Recon shows public S3/GCS/Azure-blob with permissions you can verify
A Kubernetes API or service-account token is exposed
Post-RCE on a cloud-hosted instance — pivot to cloud control plane

Do NOT use for:

On-prem-only environments (use AD attack skills — but those are out of scope per external-only boundary)
Web2 vulns that happen to be on AWS — use the relevant hunt-* skill

Credential identification (first 60 seconds)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
