The techniques. The tradecraft. The mistakes that become footholds.
A practical offensive security guide to real-world cloud compromise, IAM abuse, persistence, lateral movement, and adversary emulation across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
This book moves past sanitized lab exercises and beginner tutorials. It focuses on operational realism: how adversaries weaponize trust boundaries, exploit cloud-native misconfigurations, establish persistence, and move strategically through modern cloud environments.
Built for red team operators, cloud security engineers, and offensive practitioners who want to understand how modern cloud intrusions actually unfold.
Explore how adversaries exploit IAM, trust relationships, roles, tokens, service principals, and access boundaries.
Understand movement across accounts, projects, subscriptions, workloads, storage, serverless services, and identity planes.
Examine stealthy footholds that leverage misconfigurations, automation, delegated access, and cloud-native control paths.
Cloud attacks do not stay inside neat diagrams. This book follows the logic of real intrusion paths across providers, identities, services, and control layers.
IAM, EC2, S3, Lambda, roles, metadata, organization boundaries, and cloud-native abuse paths.
Entra ID, subscriptions, managed identities, role assignments, app registrations, and tenant-level movement.
Projects, service accounts, IAM bindings, storage, compute, workload identity, and privilege paths.
