Post Description

I built Pasu, a CLI tool that scans AWS IAM policies for security risks.

- 30+ detection rules (privilege escalation, public S3, dangerous actions) - Plain English explanations for non-technical people - No API key needed for local analysis - JSON/SARIF output for CI/CD - pip install pasu

GitHub: https://github.com/nkimcyber/pasu-IAM-Analyzer

Would love feedback from anyone managing AWS IAM policies.

I'm building an AWS cost CLI and need your feedback about it

It scans AWS for idle EC2/EBS/S3 artifacts and compares your month-to-date spend to the same window last month so you can spot anomalies fast. Rich terminal tables + structured JSON output and MFA-role support make it easy to drop into CI/CD or FinOps workflows, but the feature set overlaps heavily with existing tools like Cloud Custodian and Trusted Advisor.
