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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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, you'll find out how to use infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions to manage a variety of lab environments in the cloud. As you advance, you'll discover how generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, can be leveraged to accelerate the preparation of IaC templates and configurations. You'll also learn how to validate vulnerabilities by exploiting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities using various penetration testing tools and techniques. Finally, you'll explore several practical strategies for managing the complexity, cost, and risks involved when dealing with penetration testing lab environments in the cloud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of this penetration testing book, you'll 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.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you will learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild vulnerable-by-design labs that mimic modern cloud environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out how to manage the risks associated with cloud lab environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse infrastructure as code to automate lab infrastructure deployments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValidate vulnerabilities present in penetration testing labs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out how to manage the costs of running labs on AWS, Azure, and GCP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up IAM privilege escalation labs for advanced penetration testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse generative AI tools to generate infrastructure as code templates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImport the Kali Linux Generic Cloud Image to the cloud with ease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for\u003cp\u003eThis book is for security engineers, cloud engineers, and aspiring security professionals who want to learn more about penetration testing and cloud security.
