# T1552 - Unsecured Credentials
## [Description from ATT&CK](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1552)
<blockquote>

Adversaries may search compromised systems to find and obtain insecurely stored credentials. These credentials can be stored and/or misplaced in many locations on a system, including plaintext files (e.g. [Shell History](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1552/003)), operating system or application-specific repositories (e.g. [Credentials in Registry](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1552/002)),  or other specialized files/artifacts (e.g. [Private Keys](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1552/004)).(Citation: Brining MimiKatz to Unix)

## Atomic Test #1 - AWS - Retrieve EC2 Password Data using stratus
This atomic runs an API call GetPasswordData from a role that does not have permission to do so. This simulates an attacker attempting to retrieve RDP passwords on a high number of Windows EC2 instances. This atomic test leverages a tool called stratus-red-team built by DataDog (https://github.com/DataDog/stratus-red-team). Stratus Red Team is a self-contained binary. You can use it to easily detonate offensive attack techniques against a live cloud environment. Ref: https://stratus-red-team.cloud/attack-techniques/AWS/aws.credential-access.ec2-get-password-data/

**Supported Platforms:** Linux, macOS, Iaas:aws


**auto_generated_guid:** a21118de-b11e-4ebd-b655-42f11142df0c





#### Inputs:
| Name | Description | Type | Default Value |
|------|-------------|------|---------------|
| stratus_path | Path of stratus binary | path | $PathToAtomicsFolder/T1552/src|
| aws_region | AWS region to detonate | string | us-west-2|


#### Attack Commands: Run with `sh`! 


```sh
export AWS_REGION=#{aws_region} 
cd #{stratus_path}
echo "starting warmup"
./stratus warmup aws.credential-access.ec2-get-password-data
echo "starting detonate"
./stratus detonate aws.credential-access.ec2-get-password-data --force
```

#### Cleanup Commands:
```sh
export AWS_REGION=#{aws_region}
echo "Cleanup detonation"
cd #{stratus_path}
./stratus cleanup --all
rm -rf stratus*
```



#### Dependencies:  Run with `sh`!
##### Description: Stratus binary must be present at the (#{stratus_path}/stratus)
##### Check Prereq Commands:
```sh
if [ -f #{stratus_path}/stratus ]; then exit 0; else exit 1; fi;
```
##### Get Prereq Commands:
```sh
if [ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]
then DOWNLOAD_URL=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/DataDog/stratus-red-team/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | grep Darwin_x86_64 | cut -d '"' -f 4); wget -q -O #{stratus_path}/stratus-red-team-latest.tar.gz $DOWNLOAD_URL
  tar -xzvf #{stratus_path}/stratus-red-team-latest.tar.gz --directory #{stratus_path}/
elif [ "$(expr substr $(uname) 1 5)" == "Linux" ]
then DOWNLOAD_URL=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/DataDog/stratus-red-team/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | grep Linux_x86_64 | cut -d '"' -f 4) 
  wget -q -O #{stratus_path}/stratus-red-team-latest.tar.gz $DOWNLOAD_URL
  tar -xzvf #{stratus_path}/stratus-red-team-latest.tar.gz --directory #{stratus_path}/
fi
```
##### Description: Check if ~/.aws/credentials file has a default stanza is configured
##### Check Prereq Commands:
```sh
cat ~/.aws/credentials | grep "default"
```
##### Get Prereq Commands:
```sh
echo Please install the aws-cli and configure your AWS defult profile using: aws configure
```
