Summary
This article describes a bash script tool that runs AWS commands across multiple AWS profiles (sets of credentials configured locally) to help security researchers test discovered AWS access keys during penetration testing or bug bounties. The script checks whether each key is valid, identifies what resources it can access, and logs metadata like timestamps and the source IP address for reporting purposes.
