I just realized if you set your iPhone to be used by an underage user you can override app advertising that you can’t override as an adult iPhone user. That seems useful, has anyone done this? Any issues to consider?

During our workshop at @defcon Bahrain with the Cloud Village, me and Ziad Hammad built a custom vulnerable AWS lab for the demo. We used it to showcase PACU in action, from enumerating users, roles, and permissions, to identifying privilege escalation paths and common blind spots in monitoring services like CloudTrail.

The lab is available on my GitHub, intentionally without a solution.
