Overview of this book

With AWS, Azure, and GCP gaining prominence, understanding their unique features, ecosystems, and penetration testing protocols has become an indispensable skill, which is precisely what this pentesting guide for cloud platforms will help you achieve. As you navigate through the chapters, you’ll explore the intricacies of cloud security testing and gain valuable insights into how pentesters evaluate cloud environments effectively. In addition to its coverage of these cloud platforms, the book also guides you through modern methodologies for testing containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, which are fast becoming staples in the cloud ecosystem. Additionally, it places extended focus on penetration testing AWS, Azure, and GCP through serverless applications and specialized tools. These sections will equip you with the tactics and tools necessary to exploit vulnerabilities specific to serverless architecture, thus providing a more rounded skill set. By the end of this cloud security book, you’ll not only have a comprehensive understanding of the standard approaches to cloud penetration testing but will also be proficient in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities that are unique to cloud environments.

Using GCP Cloud Shell

To launch GCP Cloud Shell, look at the menu bar at the top and click on the icon that looks like >_ to the immediate right of the search bar. Do you notice how similar GCP’s web interface is to the web interfaces in AWS and Azure?

All of the Bash commands we used in Chapter 5 for AWS and Chapter 8 for Azure will work here. Our Linux VM in GCP is functionally just like any other Linux-based computer; a Bash CLI is standard. If you want, you can review some Bash commands from Chapter 5.

The Cloud Shell screen looks like this:
