I am the text that will be copied.
Sam Cox presenting "Discover the AWS Account ID of any S3 bucket"

We were at fwd:cloudsec North America 2024 last week, it's a pretty special gathering of some of the most experienced and passionate cloud security professionals there are.

I also had the opportunity to present the research I wrote about previously (How to find the AWS Account ID of any S3 Bucket). I wanted to go a little deeper than just talking through the research, so in this talk I delve in to how I arrived at my finding, hopefully provide some inspiration for other researchers!

You can watch the recording here:

It was also great to see how far my research had spread within the community. I was grateful to get a call out for it from two other great talks at the conference: ‍

  • What's the Worst That Could Happen: Sharing Your AWS Account ID With the World - Jarom Brown
  • ‍Get into AWS security research as a n00bcake - Daniel Grzelak

If this has piqued your interest, it's worth saying that you'll be able to find us at fwd:cloudsec Europe 2024 in September, we'd love to see you there!
