📝 Overview

The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. For HTB labs like Three, we use it to interact with S3 buckets.

⚙️ Installation Steps (Linux)

Use curl to download the AWS CLI zipped package.

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"

2. Unzip the Package

Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file.

unzip awscliv2.zip

3. Run the Install Script

Navigate to the extracted folder and run the install script with sudo.

✅ Verification

Check the version to ensure the installation was successful.

aws --version

🛠️ Configuration

For HTB labs, you often need to configure a temporary profile. You can use dummy data if an endpoint is provided.

aws configure

• Access Key: tmp
• Secret Key: tmp
• Region: tmp
• Format: tmp

---

TIP

Use the --endpoint flag when interacting with local S3 services (e.g., --endpoint=http://s3.thetoppers.htb/).
