Respond to Compromised AWS Resources Lab

In this Challenge Lab, you will respond to compromised AWS resources. First, you will create a Security Group for public webservers, and then you will create a second security group for quarantining compromised servers. Next, you will launch a public EC2 webserver, and then you will simulate an unauthorized infiltration of the web server. Finally, you will respond by quarantining the instance, and then you will create a snapshot of the EBS volume of the compromised instance to capture evidence for later review.
