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.

How Are Cloud Networks Cyber Attacked?

When you begin your journey to becoming a cloud pentester, it helps to start with the basics.

Your job is to test cloud networks to see how they can be cyber attacked. The organization you work for can then use your discoveries to improve the cybersecurity of its cloud networks.

Because Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), and Google (GCP) own the infrastructure on which you’ll be testing, you won’t be allowed to do literally anything a cyber attacker may try to do in real life. But you need to understand all the kinds of cyberattacks that cloud networks deal with, even if you can’t simulate all of them.

The best pentesters can think like real cyber attackers. This chapter will give you a better understanding of how cloud networks are cyber attacked in order to help you conduct more effective pentests.

In this chapter, we’ll cover the following main topics:

  • Understanding penetration testing
