ECS: Retrieving secrets from task definitions
cloud-services-amazon-ecs | Level: Easy | Total Lab Runs: 0 | Premium Lab |
On AWS, ECS is a container orchestration service that allows us to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications.
Task definitions are used to deploy docker containers on ECS. The container configuration such as CPU, memory, environment variables, and secrets can be configured in the task definitions.
In this lab exercise, you are provided with the credentials of an IAM user with access to the ECS and dependent services.
Objective: Recover the secrets from the task defination and the running container.

Technical Support for this Lab:
There is a reason we provide unlimited lab time: you can take as much time as you need to solve a lab. However, we realize that sometimes hints might be necessary to keep you motivated!
We currently provide technical support limited to:
- Giving hints for a lab exercise
- In rare circumstances, if you have totally given up (NO!!!) then tell you how to solve it. This will be limited to sharing the solution video or lab report

If you need technical support, please email attackdefense@pentesteracademy.com clearly mention the name and link of the lab exercise and other essential details. The more descriptive you are, the faster we can help you. We will get back to you within 24 hours or less.
