Instructions
- Install dependencies:
pip install boto3 requests - Query CloudTrail for S3 Data Events using AWS CLI or boto3.
- Build access baselines: hourly request volume, per-user object counts, source IP history.
- Detect anomalies:
- After-hours access (outside 8am-6pm local time)
- Bulk downloads: >100 GetObject calls from single principal in 1 hour
- New source IPs not seen in the prior 30 days
- ListBucket enumeration spikes (reconnaissance indicator)
- Generate prioritized findings report.
