SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables authorized security assessments of multi-cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP) by providing structured guidance, techniques, and deliverables to identify misconfigurations, IAM weaknesses, and data exposure across cloud platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reconnaissance and resource enumeration across Azure, AWS, and GCP to map attack surfaces.
  • IAM and authentication testing, privilege mapping, and credential findings to uncover weak access controls.
  • Multi-cloud exploitation, persistence planning, and data extraction strategies for authorized engagements, followed by a consolidated findings report.
  • Deliverables include a Cloud Security Assessment Report and a Resource Inventory for stakeholders.

Quick Start

Initiate a sanctioned cloud security assessment by outlining the scope for Azure, AWS, and GCP and running the workflow to generate a final report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan and execute a multi-cloud security assessment across AWS, Azure, and GCP?

Multi-cloud security assessment requires structured reconnaissance, IAM testing, and resource enumeration across AWS, Azure, and GCP to identify misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and data exposure. It delivers a consolidated Cloud Security Assessment Report and Resource Inventory for stakeholders.

What is included in cloud penetration testing for IAM and privilege escalation?

Cloud penetration testing for IAM involves authentication testing, privilege mapping, and credential analysis to uncover weak access controls across cloud platforms. This includes identifying privilege escalation vulnerabilities and validating authentication mechanisms within authorized environments.

Do I need Azure CLI, AWS CLI, and GCP SDK installed to perform cloud security assessments?

Cloud security assessments require Azure CLI, AWS CLI, and GCP SDK installed and configured to enable resource enumeration, reconnaissance, and exploitation workflows. These prerequisites ensure authorized access to target environments for comprehensive privilege and data extraction testing.

Can I use ScoutSuite-like workflows for resource enumeration during a cloud penetration test?

ScoutSuite-like workflows support resource enumeration and reconnaissance phases across multi-cloud environments during authorized security assessments. These workflows map attack surfaces and identify misconfigurations across AWS, Azure, and GCP to feed into the final security report.

What deliverables should I expect from an authorized cloud penetration testing engagement?

Authorized cloud penetration testing deliverables include a Cloud Security Assessment Report detailing findings, misconfigurations, and exploitation paths, alongside a Resource Inventory mapping enumerated assets across AWS, Azure, and GCP for stakeholder remediation.

What are the limitations of cloud penetration testing in multi-cloud environments?

Cloud penetration testing is limited to authorized engagements with explicitly defined rules of engagement across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Testing must respect scope boundaries, requiring proper access credentials and configured CLI environments before executing reconnaissance or exploitation phases.
