Update: turned "please test my tool" into "can you make it fail"
A while back I posted here looking for beta testers for Plexavo, an open-source AWS scanner.
A few of you actually ran it. That got me thinking the ask itself was backwards. "Please test my scanner" puts you in the position of doing me a favor.
So instead: Can you make Plexavo miss something? Just launched a proper program for it. Submit a false positive, a false negative, a weird IAM edge case, a detection bypass, anything that trips it up. Every confirmed one gets fixed and you get permanent credit in a public Hall of Bugs. Bug #1 is already up, and it's a good one: someone here mentioned a few weeks ago that Plexavo's sample report showed an S3 logging check but theirs skipped it.
I assumed it was a region thing. Turned out there was no check for S3 bucket logging anywhere in the codebase at all not broken, just never built. Real gap, now fixed, credited properly.

Curious what breaks it next.
