Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 31 discussion

A. iam_enum_permissions The Pacu tool is a framework for penetration testing AWS environments, it has several modules that can be used to perform various tasks. In this scenario, the tester wants to determine the level of access of an existing user in the cloud environment. The Pacu module that enables the tester to determine the level of access of the existing user is iam_enum_permissions. This module allows the tester to enumerate all the permissions and policies associated with the user. It can be used to check the permissions of the user and check what actions the user can perform within the environment. B. iam_prive_sc_scan and C. iam_backdoor_assume_role are modules that are not related to determining the level of access of an existing user. D. iam_bruteforce_permissions is a module that allows the tester to perform a brute-force attack on the permissions of an existing user, but it is not suitable to determine the level of access of the user.

https://github.com/RhinoSecurityLabs/pacu/wiki/Module-Details iam__enum_permissions Tries to get a confirmed list of permissions for the current (or all) user(s). This module will attempt to use IAM APIs to enumerate a confirmed list of IAM permissions for the current user. This is done by checking attached and inline policies for the user and the groups they are in.
