A multi-threaded AWS inventory collection tool.
The creators of this tool have a recurring need to be able to efficiently collect a large amount of AWS resource attributes and metadata to help clients understand their cloud security posture.
There are a handful of tools (e.g. AWS Config, CloudMapper, CloudSploit, Prowler) that do some form of resource collection to support other functions. But we found we needed broader coverage and more details at a per-service level. We also needed a consistent and structured format that allowed for integration with our other systems and tooling.
Enter AWS Recon, multi-threaded AWS inventory collection tool written in plain Ruby. Though most AWS tooling tends to be dominated by Python, the Ruby SDK is quite mature and capable. The maintainers of the Ruby SDK have done a fantastic job making it easy to handle automatic retries, paging of large responses, and threading huge numbers of requests.
