You are conducting a penetration test against an AWS environment and require a tool that can efficiently identify IAM weaknesses and escalate privileges. What is the BEST tool to perform this task while also offering the ability to automate the exploitation of several discovered vulnerabilities?
Scout Suite
OWASP ZAP
Metasploit
Pacu
Pacu is designed as an open-source AWS exploitation framework, providing penetration testers with the ability to simulate an adversary that has obtained credentials to an AWS account. For IAM weaknesses and privilege escalation, Pacu is especially potent due to its specialized modules that automate the exploitation of vulnerabilities. It can aid in revealing misconfigurations that could lead to privilege escalation or other security issues within AWS services. While tools like Scout Suite and OWASP ZAP are powerful in their respective domains (configuration auditing and web application security testing), they are not specialized for IAM weakness identification and exploitation in AWS environments. Metasploit is a versatile penetration testing tool, but it is not cloud-centric like Pacu and does not offer the same in-depth functionality for AWS IAM exploitation.
