Building Scalable Reconnaissance Systems with AWS Serverless Architecture

Learn how to build a scalable reconnaissance framework using AWS serverless architecture in this 39-minute conference talk from DEF CON 31's Recon Village. Discover how to overcome the challenges of managing multiple tools and servers by implementing a cost-effective, easily maintainable solution using AWS services. Explore the implementation of AWS Step Functions for workflow automation, Lambda functions for parallel processing, DynamoDB for data management, and S3 for program maintenance. Follow along as the framework demonstrates passive and active subdomain collection, domain validation, outlier discovery, port scanning, and web server fingerprinting from a bug bounty perspective. Gain insights into how this serverless approach can be adapted for various offensive security applications, offering real-time information gathering capabilities that scale with workload demands while only charging for resources actually used.
