Reverse-engineering Kiro-account-manager: AWS accounts and Claude distillation

Summary

Security researcher Hans Dekker reverse-engineered Kiro-account-manager, an open-source Electron tool that mass-creates free AWS Builder ID accounts by scripting signup over HTTP and forging Amazon's FWCIM anti-bot fingerprint, then pools them behind a local Claude-compatible proxy. He reports the fabricated values are inconsistent with real Chrome, and that shared exit IPs and email domains are costlier to hide. The market figures, such as 0.06× pricing and mention growth, are his own observations without cited sources.
