Hello and welcome to the methodaws documentation. While we always want to provide the most comprehensive documentation possible, we thought you may find the below sections a helpful place to get started.

• The Getting Started section provides onboarding material
• The Development header is the best place to get started on developing on top of and with methodaws
• See the Docs section for a comprehensive rundown of methodaws capabilities

methodaws provides security operators with a number of data-rich AWS enumeration capabilities to help them gain visibility into their AWS environments. Designed with data-modeling and data-integration needs in mind, methodaws can be used on its own as an interactive CLI, orchestrated as part of a broader data pipeline, or leveraged from within the Method Platform.

The number of security-relevant AWS resources that methodaws can enumerate are constantly growing. For the most up to date listing, please see the documentation here

To learn more about methodaws, please see the Documentation site for the most detailed information.

For the full list of available installation options, please see the Installation page. For convenience, here are some of the most commonly used options:

• docker run methodsecurity/methodaws
• docker run ghcr.io/method-security/methodaws
• Download the latest binary from the Github Releases page
• Installation documentation

methodaws is built using the AWS Go SDK and leverages the same AWS Credentials that are used by the AWS CLI. Specifically, it looks for the proper environment variables to be exported with credential information. For more information, please see the AWS documentation on how to export AWS credentials as environment variables.

methodaws <resource> enumerate --regions <AWS Region>

methodaws s3 enumerate --regions us-east-1

methodaws ec2 enumerate --regions us-east-1

methodaws api-gateway enumerate --regions us-east-1 --regions us-west-2

methodaws lambda enumerate
