Code Comparison

CloudSploit (JavaScript):

exports.run = function(cache, settings, callback) {
    const results = [];
    const source = {};
    const regions = helpers.regions(settings);

    async.each(regions.s3, function(region, rcb) {

Pros of CloudMapper

• Provides visual representation of AWS environments, making it easier to understand complex infrastructures
• Offers network mapping capabilities, allowing users to identify potential security risks in network configurations
• Includes a web-based interface for easier interaction and exploration of AWS resources

Cons of CloudMapper

• Focuses primarily on visualization and mapping, lacking the comprehensive security tool collection found in my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools
• May require more setup and configuration compared to the curated list of tools in my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools
• Limited to AWS environments, while my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools covers a broader range of cloud security tools

## S3 Buckets Auditing
* [Amazon S3 Bucket Public Access Auditor](https://github.com/kromtech/s3-inspector)
* [S3 bucket finder](https://github.com/gwen001/s3-buckets-finder)

CloudMapper provides Python code for running the tool, while my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools is primarily a curated list of tools with links and descriptions.

Pros of Cloudsplaining

• Focused specifically on IAM policy analysis and visualization
• Provides detailed HTML reports for easy sharing and interpretation
• Actively maintained by Salesforce, a major cloud security player

Cons of Cloudsplaining

• Limited to IAM policy analysis, while My Arsenal of AWS Security Tools covers a broader range of AWS security aspects
• Requires more setup and configuration compared to the curated list approach of My Arsenal of AWS Security Tools
• Less comprehensive in terms of overall AWS security tooling

Code Comparison

Cloudsplaining:

from cloudsplaining.scan.policy_document import PolicyDocument
policy = PolicyDocument(policy_dict)
print(policy.all_allowed_actions)

My Arsenal of AWS Security Tools:

# No specific code, as it's a curated list of tools
# Example usage of a tool from the list:
prowler aws --profile my-profile

The code comparison highlights the difference in approach: Cloudsplaining is a specific tool with its own API, while My Arsenal of AWS Security Tools is a collection of various tools, each with its own usage patterns.

Pros of pacu

• Comprehensive AWS exploitation framework with modular design
• Active development and regular updates
• Includes a command-line interface for easy interaction

Cons of pacu

• Steeper learning curve due to its complexity
• Focused solely on AWS, while my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools covers multiple cloud platforms
• Requires more setup and configuration

Code Comparison

pacu:

import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError

def get_caller_identity():
    try:
        return boto3.client('sts').get_caller_identity()
    except ClientError as error:
        print('Error getting caller identity: {}'.format(error))
        return None

my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools:

#!/bin/bash
# This is a collection of tools, not a single codebase

# Example usage of AWS CLI for security checks
aws cloudtrail describe-trails
aws config describe-compliance-by-config-rule

The code comparison shows that pacu is a Python-based framework with built-in AWS interactions, while my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools is primarily a curated list of tools and scripts, often utilizing AWS CLI commands for security checks.

Pros of Prowler

• Comprehensive AWS security assessment tool with over 240 checks

Cons of Prowler

• Focused solely on AWS, while my-arsenal-of-aws-security-tools covers a broader range of tools
• Requires more setup and configuration compared to a curated list of tools
• May have a steeper learning curve for beginners

Code Comparison

Prowler (Python):

def check_security_group_open_ports(self):
