description: Cloud and container security testing - AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, and Kubernetes misconfigurations and exploitation.

Cloud & Containers

Test cloud infrastructure and container environments for security misconfigurations and exploitation paths.

Techniques

| Platform | Key Vectors | |----------|-------------| | **AWS** | S3 bucket exposure, IAM misconfig, metadata service, Lambda abuse | | **Azure** | Blob storage, RBAC flaws, managed identity, App Service misconfig | | **GCP** | Cloud Storage, service account keys, metadata server, IAM | | **Docker** | Container escape, privileged mode, socket exposure, image vulnerabilities | | **Kubernetes** | RBAC bypass, secret exposure, pod escape, API server access |

Workflow

1. Enumerate cloud resources and services 2. Test IAM/RBAC configurations 3. Check storage and secrets exposure 4. Test container isolation and escape paths 5. Document findings with cloud-specific evidence

Two lanes — attack vs assess

This skill covers both, and they are different jobs producing different artifacts. Do not mix them in one deliverable.

| Lane | You have | You produce | Start at | |---|---|---|---| | **Offensive** | a cloud target to attack | exploited findings with a PoC | [`reference/INDEX.md`](reference/INDEX.md) | | **Posture** | read-only credentials and a "review the configuration" ask | one evidenced verdict per control in a pinned catalogue | [`reference/posture/INDEX.md`](reference/posture/INDEX.md) |

Reference

• [`reference/INDEX.md`](reference/INDEX.md) - Router for platform-specific attack scenarios (AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, K8s)
• [`reference/posture/INDEX.md`](reference/posture/INDEX.md) - Credentialed read-only configuration review (CSPM): run order, verdict vocabulary, the four false-pass traps, pinned catalogues, and the licensing rule for benchmark-derived content
