Take your penetration testing career to the next level by discovering how to set up and exploit cost-effective hacking lab environments on AWS, Azure, and GCP

Key Features

Explore strategies for managing the complexity, cost, and security of running labs in the cloud
Unlock the power of infrastructure as code and generative AI when building complex lab environments
Learn how to build pentesting labs that mimic modern environments on AWS, Azure, and GCP
Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book Description

The significant increase in the number of cloud-related threats and issues has led to a surge in the demand for cloud security professionals. This book will help you set up vulnerable-by-design environments in the cloud to minimize the risks involved while learning all about cloud penetration testing and ethical hacking. This step-by-step guide begins by helping you design and build penetration testing labs that mimic modern cloud environments running on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Next, youll find out how to use infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions to manage a variety of lab environments in the cloud. As you advance, youll discover how generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, can be leveraged to accelerate the preparation of IaC templates and configurations. Youll also learn how to validate vulnerabilities by exploiting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities using various penetration testing tools and techniques. Finally, youll explore several practical strategies for managing the complexity, cost, and risks involved when dealing with penetration testing lab environments in the cloud. By the end of this penetration testing book, youll be able to design and build cost-effective vulnerable cloud lab environments where you can experiment and practice different types of attacks and penetration testing techniques.
