You Should Know: Practical GCP Security Commands & Techniques
1. Auditing GCP Permissions
<h1>List IAM roles in a project</h1> gcloud projects get-iam-policy PROJECT_ID <h1>Check service account permissions</h1> gcloud iam service-accounts get-iam-policy SA_EMAIL <h1>Export logs for analysis</h1> gcloud logging read "logName:projects/PROJECT_ID/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com" --limit=1000
#### **2. Exploiting Misconfigured IAM**
<h1>Escalate privileges via custom roles</h1> gcloud iam roles update ROLE_ID --project=PROJECT_ID --add-permissions=iam.roles.update <h1>Check for public storage buckets</h1> gsutil ls -L gs://BUCKET_NAME
#### **3. Lateral Movement in GCP**
<h1>List compute instances</h1> gcloud compute instances list <h1>SSH into a VM (if permissions allow)</h1> gcloud compute ssh INSTANCE_NAME --zone=ZONE <h1>Dump metadata for secrets</h1> curl http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/ -H "Metadata-Flavor: Google"
#### **4. Phishing & Cloud-Based Attacks**
- Use Google OAuth phishing to steal credentials.
- Deploy malicious Cloud Functions for persistence.
#### **5. Defending GCP**
<h1>Enable Security Command Center</h1> gcloud services enable securitycenter.googleapis.com <h1>Monitor suspicious API calls</h1> gcloud logging read "protoPayload.methodName:google.cloud.securitycenter.v1.RunAssetDiscovery"
### **What Undercode Says:**
Mastering GCP security requires both offensive and defensive skills. Practice these commands in a lab environment:
– Audit IAM roles regularly to prevent privilege escalation.
– Restrict storage buckets to avoid data leaks.
– Monitor Cloud Logging for anomalous activity.
– Use Google’s SCC for automated threat detection.
**Expected Output:**
A hardened GCP environment with reduced attack surface and improved incident response.
