When preparing a public AMI for AWS EC2, you need to delete lots of security stuff, like public keys, hosts and history. Run this as ec2-user
login to a new session, as even after all of this your commands from this session are only written to the bash_history file when exiting.
sudo rm ~/.ssh/authorized_keys /home/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/known_hosts ~/.ssh/known_hosts /home/ec2-user/.ssh/known_hosts sudo shred -u /etc/ssh/*_key /etc/ssh/*_key.pub sudo shred -u ~/.*history shred -u ~/.*history
