| “DescribeSnapshots” | Enables getting the current status of the taken snapshot to make sure it is available. |
| “DescribeImages” | Enables querying AMI’s to get the latest Ubuntu AMI. |
| “DescribeVolumeStatus” | Enables getting the current status of the volume being created. |

- Debian: 6, 8, 9
- Redhat: 7, 8
- Suse: 12

Installation
sudo git clone https://github.com/lightspin-tech/red-detector.git
pip3 install -r requirements.txtUsage
Interactive
python3 main.pyCommand arguments
usage: main.py [-h] [--region REGION] [--instance-id INSTANCE_ID] [--keypair KEYPAIR] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--region REGION region name
--instance-id INSTANCE_ID EC2 instance id
--keypair KEYPAIR existing key pair name
--log-level LOG_LEVEL log levelFlow
- Run main.py.
- Region selection: use default region (us-east-1) or select a region. Notice that if the selected region does not contain any EC2 instances you will be asked to choose another region.
- EC2 inatance-id selection: you will get a list of all EC2 instances ids under your selected region and you will be asked to choose the inatance you would like to scan. Make sure to choose a valide answer (the number left to the desired id).
- Track the process progress… It takes about 30 minutes.
- Get a link to your report!
Troubleshooting
verbouse logging
python3 main.py --log-level DEBUG
scanners databases update process
- connect to the EC2 instance created
ssh ubuntu@PUBLICIP -i KEYPAIR.pem - watch the progress
tail /var/log/user-data.log
