Azure penetration testing tools

Throughout the course of this book, we will be using different tools to emulate adversary tactics and techniques. We can break these tools into different categories, based on their typical usage.

First, we have Windows or Linux administration tools, outlined as follows:

• Tools typically used by administrators for general system administration
• Examples: JQ, httpie, wget, curl, unzip, and PowerShell

Next up are the general penetration testing tools, outlined as follows:

• General service and vulnerability identification tools
• Examples: gobuster, nmap, dnscan, and hydra

Finally, we have Azure-specific penetration testing tools, outlined as follows:

• Penetration testing tools that are optimized to focus on Azure platform-related vulnerabilities
• Examples: MicroBurst, Lava, Koboko, PowerZure, Stormspotter, and BloodHound

There are very few of these Azure-specific tools at the moment, and most of them...
