This was the installation and configuration of a cloud-hosted password manager through an AWS EC2 Instance.
This project allowed me to visualize and gain experience in what it is like to setup and configure a password manager through an AWS EC2 instance. Through the use of key generation in Kali, I was able to generate a specific key pair and attach that to the EC2 instance to ensure security. I was also able to configure an SSL configuration to ensure that the passwords stored are not sent over the network in plaintext. Great experience!
