Score: 42/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 22, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 1512, "days_push": 470, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
AWSGoat is a deliberately vulnerable AWS infrastructure deployed via Terraform, featuring OWASP Top 10 web vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations across IAM, S3, Lambda, EC2, and ECS. It is designed as a hands-on training environment for learning cloud penetration testing, IaC auditing, secure coding, and detection/mitigation.

## Use cases
- practice cloud pentesting on a realistic AWS environment
- learn IAM privilege escalation techniques
- train red teaming in cloud infrastructure
- audit infrastructure-as-code for misconfigurations
- learn to detect and mitigate cloud attacks
- practice exploiting S3 misconfigurations and SSRF
- learn secure coding against OWASP Top 10 risks

## When to choose
- you want a vulnerable-by-design AWS lab for cloud security training
- you need realistic scenarios for IAM, S3, Lambda, and ECS attacks
- you want to practice black-box cloud pentesting with multiple escalation paths
- you are preparing for cloud security certifications or red team work

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready or secure infrastructure template
- you cannot or do not want to deploy resources in a real AWS account
- you are looking for an automated vulnerability scanner rather than a hands-on lab
- you need a free local environment without cloud costs
