⚠️ This tool is still under development. APIs and behavior may change. Use with caution in production environments.

Contributing Red Team Techniques

We welcome contributions of new red team techniques. If you have attack paths, privilege escalation methods, or AWS abuse techniques you'd like to add to Atlas, please open an issue or submit a pull request. The planner and attack graph are designed to be extended—see src/atlas/planner/attack_graph.py and src/atlas/knowledge/data/api_detection_profiles.yaml for how techniques are modeled.

What is Atlas?

Atlas is a next-generation AWS cloud adversary emulation platform. It helps red teams and security researchers:

• Discover attack paths from a given identity (recon + attack graph)
• Plan multi-step privilege escalation chains
• Simulate execution without making AWS API calls (BloodHound-style — mapping only, no execution)
• Explain attack paths with AI-powered or template-based explanations

---

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• AWS credentials configured (e.g. ~/.aws/credentials)

---

Installation

Install from PyPI (recommended):

pip install atlas-redteam

Or with pipx (isolated environment, no venv needed):

pipx install atlas-redteam

Update to latest version:

pip install --upgrade atlas-redteam
# or
pipx upgrade atlas-redteam

Note for maintainers: To publish new versions so users get updates, see docs/RELEASE.md.

For development (editable install):

git clone https://github.com/Haggag-22/Atlas.git
cd Atlas
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick Start

# Configure AWS profile
atlas config --profile my-profile --region us-east-1

# Run recon + planning (creates a case)
atlas plan --case mycase

# List attack paths and simulate
atlas simulate --case mycase --attack-path AP-01

# Explain an attack path
atlas explain --case mycase --attack-path AP-01

# Open the GUI
atlas gui --case mycase

---

Commands

Command	Description
atlas config	Set or show AWS profile and region
atlas plan	Run reconnaissance + planning. Uses pathfinding.cloud (65+ verified IAM privesc paths) automatically—syncs on first run if needed.
atlas simulate	Simulate an attack path (no AWS calls)
atlas cases	List saved cases
atlas delete-case	Delete a saved case
atlas explain	Explain an attack path (AI or template)
atlas gui	Open the Streamlit web UI
atlas query	BloodHound-style queries: who-can-reach-admin, blast-radius, external-trusts, wildcards, privileged-principals, detection-map
atlas inspect	Inspect detection profiles for API actions

Attack Techniques (Examples)

Atlas models techniques such as:

• Role assumption (sts:AssumeRole)
• Access key creation (iam:CreateAccessKey)
• Policy attachment (iam:AttachUserPolicy, iam:AttachRolePolicy)
• Inline policy injection (iam:PutUserPolicy, iam:PutRolePolicy)
• PassRole abuse (Lambda, etc.)
• Trust policy modification (iam:UpdateAssumeRolePolicy)
• Lambda code injection
• S3 read/write access

Detection costs and noise levels are derived from CloudTrail and GuardDuty profiles in src/atlas/knowledge/.

Discovered Resources

The recon engine collects the following resource types (configurable via recon.resource_types):

Resource	Service	Key Security Data
S3 Buckets	S3	Bucket policies, Public Access Block
EC2 Instances	EC2	Instance profiles, IMDS config, security groups
Lambda Functions	Lambda	Execution roles, resource policies, environment variables
RDS Instances	RDS	Public accessibility, encryption, IAM auth, snapshots
KMS Keys	KMS	Key policies, grants, rotation status
Secrets Manager Secrets	Secrets Manager	Resource policies, rotation, KMS encryption
SSM Parameters	SSM	Parameter types (SecureString), KMS key IDs
CloudFormation Stacks	CloudFormation	Stack roles, capabilities, outputs
