Abstract

The objective of this research endeavor is to construct a personalized framework for conducting penetration tests, tailored to evaluate the security aspects of Amazon Web Services (AWS). The intended framework will possess the capability to pinpoint and rectify vulnerabilities prevalent in the extensively utilized AWS services. The research methodology encompasses multiple facets, including the judicious selection of pertinent AWS services, the utilization of established tools, and the implementation of the Python programming language to forge the framework. Delving into the specifics, the proposal outlines the various phases and steps characterizing the penetration testing procedure. Furthermore, ethical considerations inherent in the research undertaking will be thoughtfully addressed. In culmination, this research is poised to yield a pragmatic and efficacious penetration testing framework specially designed for AWS, thereby offering a valuable means to fortify cloud infrastructure against potential threats.
