aws-security-viz -- A tool to visualize aws security groups

DESCRIPTION

Need a quick way to visualize your current aws/amazon ec2 security group configuration? aws-security-viz does just that based on the EC2 security group ingress configuration.

FEATURES

• Output to any of the formats that Graphviz supports.
• EC2 classic and VPC security groups

INSTALLATION

  $ gem install aws_security_viz
  $ aws_security_viz --help

DEPENDENCIES

• graphviz with triangulation brew install graphviz --with-gts
• libxml2 brew install libxml2*

USAGE

To generate the graph directly using AWS keys

  $ aws_security_viz -a your_aws_key -s your_aws_secret_key -f viz.svg --color=true

To generate the graph using an existing security_groups.json (created using aws-cli)

  $ aws_security_viz -o data/security_groups.json -f viz.svg --color

To generate a web view

  $ aws_security_viz -a your_aws_key -s your_aws_secret_key -f aws.json

• Generates two files: aws.json and view.html.
• The json file name needs to be passed in as a html fragment identifier.
• The generated graph can be viewed in a webserver e.g. http://localhost:3000/view.html#aws.json by using python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3000 (python2) or python -m http.server 3000 (python3)

Help

$ aws_security_viz --help
Options:
  -a, --access-key=<s>     AWS access key
  -s, --secret-key=<s>     AWS secret key
  -r, --region=<s>         AWS region to query (default: us-east-1)
  -o, --source-file=<s>    JSON source file containing security groups
  -f, --filename=<s>       Output file name (default: aws-security-viz.png)
  -c, --config=<s>         Config file (opts.yml) (default: opts.yml)
  -l, --color              Colored node edges
  -h, --help               Show this message

Advanced configuration

You can generate a configuration file using the following command:

  $ aws_security_viz setup [-c opts.yml]

The opts.yml file lets you define the following options:

• Grouping of CIDR ips
• Define exclusion patterns
• Change graphviz format (neato, dot, sfdp etc)

DEBUGGING

To generate the graph with debug statements, execute the following command

$ DEBUG=true aws_security_viz -a your_aws_key -s your_aws_secret_key -f viz.svg

If it doesn't indicate the problem, please share the generated json file with me @ whynospam-awsviz@yahoo.co.in

You can send me an obfuscated version using the following command:

$ DEBUG=true OBFUSCATE=true aws_security_viz -a your_aws_key -s your_aws_secret_key -f viz.svg

Execute the following command to generate the json. You will need aws-cli to execute the command

aws ec2 describe-security-groups
