Cloud Penetration Testing

Part 1: Today’s Cloud Networks and Their Security Implications

Pentesters and red teams test the security of computer systems. In this book, the types of computer systems you will learn how to pentest are cloud applications and networks. Before you start testing something, you should understand what it is that you’re testing in the first place! So, in this part, we will learn all about the different types of cloud services and applications, why organizations use them, and how they’re configured and deployed. We will also learn about the basics of pentesting and red teams. This knowledge will set a foundation for everything else that you’ll learn in this book.

This section has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, How Do Enterprises Utilize and Implement Cloud Networks?
  • Chapter 2, How Are Cloud Networks Cyber Attacked?
  • Chapter 3, Key Concepts for Pentesting Today’s Cloud Networks

Key benefits

  • Discover how enterprises use AWS, Azure, and GCP as well as the applications and services unique to each platform
  • Understand the key principles of successful pentesting and its application to cloud networks, DevOps, and containerized networks (Docker and Kubernetes)
  • Get acquainted with the penetration testing tools and security measures specific to each platform
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Description

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.

Who is this book for?

This book is for aspiring Penetration Testers, and the Penetration Testers seeking specialized skills for leading cloud platforms—AWS, Azure, and GCP. Those working in defensive security roles will also find this book useful to extend their cloud security skills.

Kim Crawley has done a great job of organizing a very complex subject for the average engineer to consume. She provides the necessary details the seasoned Cyber Professional that is looking to start working on Cloud use cases for their skillset.Often we get lost in our engineering mind trying to make everything perfect before approaching a new skillset that we know we need to move forward in our career. Kim's approach makes each lesson bite sized and easy for a time-boxed learning session.I highly recommend buying the book for any semi-technical business leader as she gives you the crash course in what are the security personnel talking about in this meeting. If nothing else, buy the book to identify what you need to learn about cloud security.Her approach to the "Purple Team" is something I highly welcomed in the book. Read it to find out what I'm talking about.Thank you Kim for your great work. I enjoyed my time with your book!

If you are getting started with penetration testing, more specifically cloud penetration testing, this book has everything you need to get started - it starts with penetration testing basics, which prepare you for more specific tasks and tools of penetration testing across the three major clouds. It discusses fundamentals, tools, and techniques, but not in a very deep sense - ideal for beginners. Seems that this book is not meant for the more experienced audience, although even this type of audience can find a thing or two for themselves (mostly in additional references). Would recommend this book as an entry point into penetration testing and multi-cloud penetration testing, to get acquainted with the basic procedures and tools.

Honestly, this is one of my favorite subjects, and I learned a LOT with this one. If you are interested in upping your pentest or red team game.... dont think, just buy this. Like now. Thorough, explained well, to the point, and very informative.

Not too technical. Not too theoretical. A good blend of theory and practical examples that give the cloud pentesting beginner a great idea of where to start in this pentesting space. Tools used are clearly identified and explained. This book is definitely for cloud pentesting beginners like me. I am happy with my purchase of the book. Thanks Kim!

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
