Graphviz: Open-source graph visualization software

I maintain an open-source project [1] that uses graphs to model data. I wanted to make my project as accessible as possible, so Graphviz was perfect since it's dead-simple to install and use on all major OS platforms.

Principal Mapper v1.1.0 - AWS IAM Security Analysis

Show HN: Principal Mapper v1.1.0 – AWS IAM Security Analysis
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Apr 2021

Hi HN!
Principal Mapper is a tool + library for analyzing and securing your AWS IAM configuration. It generates a model of your account and/or organization and uses it to give you a better idea of the effective permissions of your IAM Users and Roles. It has privilege escalation detection built-in and is hopefully written in a way that will let you extend it for your use-cases.
This v1.1.0 update covers more types of policies (resource policies, permission boundaries, session policies, SCPs), supports AWS Organizations, enables cross-account checks, and more!
