Tools and techniques of the attackers

To attack the cloud, a hacker will need tools to do so. Here, we will discuss some of the more common tools that are available.

The tools

A container image is a software package that includes an operating system, application, runtime, and other components. These containers are frequently reused throughout the industry and may include open source libraries with security concerns. These flaws endanger not only the security of each container but also that of the entire container engine. Tools such as Clair, Twistlock, and Trivy are great options for attacking containers.

Looking to find attack Kubernetes, also known as K8s? Most of the vulnerabilities we find are based on misconfiguration. Sysdig (sysdig.com) is a great tool to not only scan for vulnerabilities but also for validating container images.

Believe it or not, attackers use Google hacking techniques to identify Amazon Cloud storage services (called S3 buckets)! If you remember...
