This script: 1. Attempts to connect to the EC2 instance metadata service at `http://169.254.169.254` 2. Recursively crawls the metadata structure 3. Collects various types of metadata including: - Instance identity document - User data (if available) - All available meta-data 4. Saves the collected data to a JSON file To use this script: 1. Save it to a file (e.g., `ec2_metadata_crawler.py`) 2. Install the required package:
1
pip install requests
3. Run the script:
1
python ec2_metadata_crawler.py

This version: 1. Attempts to use IMDSv2 first by getting a token 2. Falls back to IMDSv1 if IMDSv2 is not available 3. Uses the token for all subsequent requests when available 4. Includes better error handling and logging Both versions of the script will collect all available metadata about the EC2 instance, including: - Instance ID - Instance type - AMI ID - Security groups - IAM role information - Network information - and much more Note: This script should be run from within an EC2 instance, as the metadata service is only available from within AWS EC2 instances.

This script: 1. Uses IMDSv2 (more secure than IMDSv1) to access the metadata service 2. Recursively crawls all available metadata paths 3. Retrieves the instance identity document 4. Collects all data into a structured format 5. Outputs the results as formatted JSON 6. Saves the results to a file The script will collect information such as: - Instance ID - Instance type - AMI ID - Security groups - IAM role information - Network interfaces - Public/private IP addresses - Region/availability zone - And more To use this script: 1. Make sure you have the `requests` library installed:
1
pip install requests
2. Run the script on an EC2 instance:
1
python metadata_collector.py
Safety notes: - This script will only work when run on an EC2 instance - It uses IMDSv2 which is more secure than IMDSv1 - It includes timeout handling to prevent hanging - It includes error handling for failed requests Security note: Be careful with the collected metadata as it might contain sensitive information. Make sure to handle the output securely and not expose it to unauthorized parties. Limitations: - Some metadata might not be available depending on the instance configuration - Token expiration needs to be handled for long-running applications - Network timeouts might occur in some environments

This script: 1. Supports both IMDSv1 and IMDSv2 (defaults to IMDSv2) 2. Recursively crawls all available metadata paths 3. Handles errors gracefully 4. Saves the results both to console output and a JSON file 5. Includes timestamp information 6. Has timeout protection against hanging requests To use it: 1. Save the script to a file (e.g., `ec2_metadata_collector.py`) 2. Install the required dependency:
1
pip install requests
3. Run the script on an EC2 instance:
1
python ec2_metadata_collector.py
The script will collect metadata such as: - Instance ID - Instance type - AMI ID - Security groups - IAM role information - Network interfaces - Public/Private IP addresses - Region/Availability Zone - And more... Important security notes: 1. This script should only be run on EC2 instances where you have permission to access the metadata service 2. The metadata might contain sensitive information 3. Be careful about where you store the output file 4. The script uses the default metadata service IP (169.254.169.254) Example output structure:

The code will: - Try to connect to the metadata service at 169.254.169.254 - Recursively collect all available metadata - Print the results to console - Save the results to a file named 'ec2_metadata.json' Example metadata that might be collected includes: - Instance ID - Instance type - AMI ID - Security groups - IAM role information - Network interface configurations - And much more Note: This code will only work when run on an EC2 instance. Running it elsewhere will fail to connect to the metadata service. Security considerations: 1. This code attempts to use IMDSv2 first, which is more secure than IMDSv1 2. Be careful with the collected metadata as it might contain sensitive information 3. Consider implementing additional error handling and rate limiting for production use Remember that access to the metadata service might be restricted based on your EC2 instance's configuration and security settings.
