* [Rule Tuning] AWS EC2 User Data Retrieval for EC2 Instance
- changed execution window
- explicitly added flattened fields to query, to reduce wildcard usage
- added investigation fields
- changed new terms field to evaluate `user.name` over `aws.cloudtrail.user_identity.arn` so that only the role name for Assumed Role identitites is being evaluated instead of each individual session. This should greatly impact performance as most instances of this rule in telemetry is triggered by Assumed Roles.
* Apply suggestions from code review
* remove instanceId parameter

* [New Rule] AWS CloudTrail Log Evasion
Identifies the evasion of cloudtrail logging for IAM actions involving policy creation, modification or attachment. When making certain policy-related API calls, an adversary may pad the associated policy document with whitespaces to trigger CloudTrail’s logging size constraints, resulting in incomplete logging where critical details about the policy are omitted. By exploiting this gap, threat actors can bypass monitoring performed through CloudTrail and can effectively obscure unauthorized changes. This rule looks for IAM API calls with the requestParameters property containing reason:”requestParameters too large” and omitted:true.
This is a known gap in AWS with no immediate remediation steps. While the size constraint issue affects additional services, IAM policy-related API calls are the only that pose a security risk which is why this rule is scoped specifically to `event.provider: iam.amazonaws.com`. For additional background on the evasion technique refer to Permisso's [research](https://permiso.io/blog/cloudtrail-logging-evasion-where-policy-size-matters).
