Some tools or services include actual DoS capabilities as described, either silently/inherently if used inappropriately or as an explicit test/check or feature of the tool or service. However, this tool may NOT engage in protocol flooding or resource request flooding, as mentioned above.Ī security tool or service that creates, determines the existence of, or demonstrates a DoS condition in ANY other manner, actual or simulated, is expressly forbidden. Customers wishing to perform a DDoS simulation test should review our DDoS Simulation Testing policy.Ī security tool that solely performs a remote query of your AWS asset to determine a software name and version, such as "banner grabbing," for the purpose of comparison to a list of versions known to be vulnerable to DoS, is NOT in violation of this policy.Īdditionally, a security tool or service that solely crashes a running process on your AWS asset, temporary or otherwise, as necessary for remote or local exploitation as part of the security assessment, is NOT in violation of this policy. However, you ARE prohibited from utilizing any tools or services in a manner that perform Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks or simulations of such against ANY AWS asset, yours or otherwise. You are NOT limited in your selection of tools or services to perform a security assessment of your AWS assets. The term "security assessment" refers to all activity engaged in for the purposes of determining the efficacy or existence of security controls amongst your AWS assets, e.g., port-scanning, vulnerability scanning/checks, penetration testing, exploitation, web application scanning, as well as any injection, forgery, or fuzzing activity, either performed remotely against your AWS assets, amongst/between your AWS assets, or locally within the virtualized assets themselves. Resellers of AWS services are responsible for their customers’ security testing activity.ĪWS's policy regarding the use of security assessment tools and services allows significant flexibility for performing security assessments of your AWS assets while protecting other AWS customers and ensuring quality-of-service across AWS.ĪWS understands there are a variety of public, private, commercial, and/or open-source tools and services to choose from for the purposes of performing a security assessment of your AWS assets. When responding, please provide us with approved language detailing your use case, including a point of contact that we can share with any third party reporters. If AWS receives an abuse report for activities related to your security testing, we will forward it to you. If you discover a security issue within any of the AWS services observed in your security assessment, please contact AWS Security immediately. Note: Customers are not permitted to conduct any security assessments of AWS infrastructure or the AWS services themselves. Please ensure that these activities are aligned with the policy set out below. All security testing that includes Command and Control (C2) requires prior approval. We've now simplified security and performance testing even further with the release of BreakingPoint QuickTest turn-key test suites designed to accelerate testing and reduce test tool learning curve.AWS customers are welcome to carry out security assessments or penetration tests of their AWS infrastructure without prior approval for the services listed in the next section under “Permitted Services.” Additionally, AWS permits customers to host their security assessment tooling within the AWS IP space or other cloud provider for on-prem, in AWS, or third party contracted testing. Security infrastructures can also be verified at high-scale, ensuring ease of use, greater agility, and speedy network testing. How might a particular configuration or security setup withstand a cyber attack? BreakingPoint addresses that by simulating both good and bad traffic to validate and optimize networks under the most realistic conditions. And with our new TrafficREWIND solution, you'll get even more realistic and high-fidelity validation by adding production network insight into BreakingPoint test traffic configurations. By simulating real-world legitimate traffic, distributed denial of service (DDoS), exploits, malware, and fuzzing, BreakingPoint validates an organization’s security infrastructure, reduces the risk of network degradation by almost 80%, and increases attack readiness by nearly 70%.
