This new bootcamp, “Test d’intrusion Cloud AWS”, dives deep into AWS cloud penetration testing, covering attacker tactics, detection tools, and defensive techniques.
🔗 Course Link: AWS Cloud Penetration Testing Bootcamp
What You’ll Learn:
- Compromising AWS environments
- Analyzing cloud-based attacks
- Implementing defensive measures
- Hands-on offensive & defensive scenarios
📆 Duration: 4 weeks (Live sessions every Saturday)
You Should Know: Essential AWS Security Commands & Techniques
1. AWS CLI Reconnaissance
Check S3 bucket permissions:
aws s3api get-bucket-acl --bucket BUCKET_NAME aws s3 ls s3://BUCKET_NAME --recursive
2. Exploiting Misconfigured IAM Roles
Extract temporary credentials from a vulnerable Lambda:
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/ aws sts get-caller-identity
3. Privilege Escalation in AWS
Check for overly permissive policies:
aws iam list-user-policies --user-name TARGET_USER aws iam simulate-principal-policy --policy-source-arn arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_ID:user/USER --action-names ""
4. Detecting & Preventing Attacks
Enable AWS GuardDuty:
aws guardduty create-detector --enable
Monitor CloudTrail logs for anomalies:
aws cloudtrail lookup-events --lookup-attributes AttributeKey=EventName,AttributeValue=ConsoleLogin
5. Securing AWS Infrastructure
Enforce MFA for root accounts:
aws iam enable-mfa-device --user-name root --serial-number MFA_SERIAL --authentication-code1 123456 --authentication-code2 654321
Apply S3 bucket encryption:
aws s3api put-bucket-encryption --bucket BUCKET_NAME --server-side-encryption-configuration '{"Rules": [{"ApplyServerSideEncryptionByDefault": {"SSEAlgorithm": "AES256"}}]}'
What Undercode Say
AWS penetration testing requires deep knowledge of both attack and defense strategies. Mastering AWS CLI, IAM policies, and GuardDuty is crucial for security professionals. This bootcamp provides hands-on experience in exploiting and securing AWS environments, making it a must for cloud security enthusiasts.
Expected Output:
- Exploitable misconfigurations identified
- Defensive measures applied to secure AWS
- Hands-on experience in cloud penetration testing
