This course follows a Black-box Cloud Penetration Testing approach to demonstrate the steps involved in a real-world Cloud Penetration testing engagement of an organization’s AWS and Azure infrastructure. Through a series of hands-on labs, students will have an in-depth understanding of identifying vulnerabilities and exploits related to ELBs, Security Groups and CloudFront servers, IAM, Lambda, S3 buckets, AWS RDS, and Terraform state files. Furthermore, students will learn Cloud Penetration testing attack paths for database compromise, misconfiguration, authentication attacks, SSRF, XXE, command injection, and Denial of Service.
