The video is a walkthrough of a lab on Pwn Labs focusing on using Amazon Inspector for vulnerability management and remediation. Here are the key points covered in the video:
- Introduction to Pwn Labs:
- Pwn Labs offers hands-on labs for cloud security training, similar to TryHackMe and Hack The Box, but focused on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- It provides both red team and blue team labs, with around 40 free labs available and a premium subscription for more advanced content.
- Lab Setup and Overview:
- The lab involves remediating vulnerabilities using Amazon Inspector, focusing on Docker files and Lambda functions.
- The lab scenario includes a collaboration with the DevOps team to assess and improve the security of their Elastic Container Registry (ECR) image deployment templates and Lambda functions.
- Elastic Container Registry (ECR):
- ECR is a managed container image registry service by AWS, used to store and deploy Docker container images.
- The lab involves checking for vulnerabilities in Docker files and updating the images in ECR.
- Docker File and Package.json:
- The lab starts with analyzing a Docker file and associated package.json to identify vulnerabilities.
- Common vulnerabilities in Docker images include outdated packages and security issues in dependencies.
- Amazon Inspector:
- Amazon Inspector is used to scan Docker images in ECR for vulnerabilities.
- The lab demonstrates how to authenticate Docker to ECR, build Docker images, tag them, and push them to the ECR repository.
- Suppressing False Positives:
- The video covers identifying false positives in vulnerability findings, such as outdated package versions that are not actually vulnerable.
- Suppression rules are created in Amazon Inspector to ignore these false positives.
- Using npm for Vulnerability Management:
- The lab also involves using npm to check for outdated packages and vulnerabilities in the package.json file.
- The video demonstrates updating packages and running npm audit to identify and fix vulnerabilities.
- Lambda Function Vulnerabilities:
- Amazon Inspector is also used to scan Lambda functions for vulnerabilities, including code and package vulnerabilities.
- The lab identifies and remediates vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and log injection in Lambda functions by updating the code.
- Final Steps and Recommendations:
- The lab concludes with verifying that the vulnerabilities have been remediated and the findings have been cleared in Amazon Inspector.
- Emphasis is placed on the importance of continuous monitoring and updating of dependencies and code to maintain security.
