🔶 Weaponizing the AWS CLI for Persistence

This article demonstrates weaponizing AWS CLI aliases for stealthy persistence. A one-liner dynamically toggles alias activation to execute malicious payloads while preserving original command functionality, evading detection. The technique exfiltrates credentials post-execution and persists across sessions, useful for red team operations.
