And yet, it now 404s on both the salesforce project and the owners own personal GitHub.

And? Thats not because "AWS" was like "OMG so smart", AWS is already well aware of this issue but lays the blame on "Shared Responsibility" and are likely annoyed that Salesforce, a partner of AWS< released this without communication.

Honestly, my guess is there was a lapse in Salesforce somewhere, where either legal or PR didn't check this because this likely goes against Salesforce and AWS NDA for their partnership. I worked as an AWS partner before, there are requirements that go into place before you can release stuff like this to the public. Plus, having worked with Salesforce as well, I assume they have a PR policy to not use the word "hacking" in tool names or description, especially in regards to partners. My company has similar rules for OSS stuff.

This was more of a bad PR / Legal issue. AWS is well aware that people misconfigure permissions...

And again... better tools and more popular tools already existed... This is not new
