Bypass AWS Alias Check

While we take security and precautions serious with a tool that can have devastating effects, we understand that some users may want to skip the alias check. This is not recommended, but we understand that some users may want to do this.

This feature allows you to skip the alias check but requires additional configuration to enable.

How it Works

There are two components to this feature:

  1. The --no-alias-check flag (also available as NO_ALIAS_CHECK environment variable)
  2. The bypass-alias-check-accounts configuration in the config.yml file

The account ID must be in the bypass-alias-check-accounts configuration for the --no-alias-check flag to work.

Example Configuration

bypass-alias-check-accounts:
  - 123456789012

Example Usage

aws-nuke run --config=example-config.yaml --no-alias-check
