## What it is
A Python CLI tool that enumerates the IAM permissions associated with an AWS credential set by brute-forcing all non-destructive API calls (get* and list*). It can also be imported as a library to return discovered permissions programmatically.

## Use cases
- enumerate permissions of found AWS credentials
- discover what an AWS access key can do
- audit IAM policy permissions for a credential set
- test AWS credentials during a pentest
- list allowed AWS API calls for an access key

## When to choose
- you have AWS credentials and need to know their effective permissions
- you want programmatic output of enumerated permissions for integration into other tools
- you need a non-destructive enumeration using only get* and list* calls

## When to avoid
- you need a full cloud security posture assessment rather than credential permission discovery
- you need support for non-AWS clouds
- you require actively maintained tooling with support for the newest AWS services without regenerating the brute-force lists

## Facets
