Describe the issue

def list_instances(ec2_resource, ec2_client):
try:
instances = ec2_resource.instances.all()
if not instances:
print("没有找到任何 EC2 实例。")
return

    for instance in instances:
        instance_id = instance.id
        instance_type = instance.instance_type
        ami_id = instance.image_id
        private_ip = instance.private_ip_address or '无'
        public_ip = instance.public_ip_address or '无'
        state = instance.state['Name']

        print(f"Instance ID: {instance_id}")
        print(f"Instance Type: {instance_type}")
        print(f"AMI ID: {ami_id}")
        print(f"State: {state}")
        print(f"Private IP: {private_ip}")
        print(f"Public IP: {public_ip}")

        # 获取密码数据
        password_data = ec2_client.get_password_data(InstanceId=instance_id)
        if password_data['PasswordData']:
            # 解密密码
            with open('public_key/my_rsa_key.pem', 'r') as key_file:
                private_key = RSA.import_key(key_file.read())

            # 创建解密器
            cipher = PKCS1_OAEP.new(private_key)
            decoded_data = base64.b64decode(password_data['PasswordData'])

            # 解密
            decrypted_password = cipher.decrypt(decoded_data)
            print(f"解密后的密码: {decrypted_password.decode()}")
        else:
            print("不需要获取密码")

        print("=" * 40)  # 分隔符

except ClientError as e:
    print(f"无法获取实例列表: {e}")

Unable to obtain the decrypted password, is the decryption method wrong?

Thanks for reaching out. Here is the get_password_data command documentation for reference: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/ec2/client/get_password_data.html

Can you provide more details on this issue? Are you getting an error or what is the behavior? If you can share your debug logs (with any sensitive info redacted) by adding boto3.set_stream_logger('') to your script then we can look into this further.
