barq Description
barq is a post-exploitation framework designed for attacking AWS infrastructure environments. The tool enables security professionals to perform attacks on running EC2 instances without requiring the original SSH keypairs or connection credentials. Key capabilities include: - Attacking EC2 instances without keypairs or passwords - Dumping secrets and parameters stored in AWS services - Enumerating EC2 instances and security groups - Launching Metasploit and Empire payloads against EC2 targets - Training mode for testing attacks without affecting production infrastructure The framework requires existing AWS account credentials (access key ID and secret, with optional token) and supports both Python 2 and 3 environments. For payload generation, msfvenom must be available on the workstation with proper PATH configuration. Installation involves setting up dependencies through pip requirements and creating a virtual environment is recommended for isolation.
