tracebit··on A hard look at AWS GuardDuty shortcomings
That's definitely aligned with what we see, we work with orgs where we're the next step after Guard Duty and some who already have more in place.

Certainly for the base usage, switching GuardDuty on can be a no brainer, as we touch on in the article - it's the additional SKUs where things a get a bit less clear.

tracebit··on How to find the AWS account ID of any S3 bucket
Yes, for the avoidance of doubt - we got the OK from AWS to publish this research
tracebit··on How to find the AWS account ID of any S3 bucket
Exactly - this isn't going to open the door for someone but could add a ton of value to enumeration.

As we are very canary focused, we also think it's interesting to consider the implications of the recent research from Truffle Security w.r.t canary tokens (https://trufflesecurity.com/blog/canaries).

tracebit··on How to find the AWS account ID of any S3 bucket
For those interested, we put the code online here: https://github.com/tracebit-com/find-s3-account
tracebit··on How to find the AWS account ID of any S3 bucket
AWS do not define account IDs as a secret (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage...) but until now it's not been possible to do this look up.
