This book is high level and introductory. It does contain some detail in a few places, but if you are new to penetration testing then you may want to start elsewhere. If you have experience, then this book will point you in the right direction as to what you will need to research elsewhere.

Kim Crawley has done a great job of organizing a very complex subject for the average engineer to consume. She provides the necessary details the seasoned Cyber Professional that is looking to start working on Cloud use cases for their skillset.Often we get lost in our engineering mind trying to make everything perfect before approaching a new skillset that we know we need to move forward in our career. Kim's approach makes each lesson bite sized and easy for a time-boxed learning session.I highly recommend buying the book for any semi-technical business leader as she gives you the crash course in what are the security personnel talking about in this meeting. If nothing else, buy the book to identify what you need to learn about cloud security.Her approach to the "Purple Team" is something I highly welcomed in the book. Read it to find out what I'm talking about.Thank you Kim for your great work. I enjoyed my time with your book!

"Cloud Penetration Testing for Red Teamers" is a detailed and insightful resource for cybersecurity professionals looking to expand their expertise into cloud environments. The book is well-structured, catering to both beginners and experienced professionals, with a clear focus on the three major cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, and GCP.Some experienced Red Teamers might find some of the info basic, but it's a great reference for those looking to dig deeper into the area, and it's never a bad idea to review even the basics. I figured I would list out both the strengths and some areas for improvement:Strengths:Comprehensive Coverage: The book thoroughly covers each aspect of cloud penetration testing, defining each concept and providing some examples. It effectively balances theoretical concepts with practical applications, making it an excellent resource for hands-on learning.Practical Approach: The inclusion of real-world scenarios and case studies is a definite plus. This practical approach helps in understanding complex cloud environments and the unique security challenges they present.Cloud-Specific Techniques: It excels in explaining attack vectors and vulnerabilities specific to cloud environments. The detailed exploration of services like IAM, serverless functions, and cloud storage is particularly noteworthy.Tools and Techniques: The book provides an extensive list of tools and techniques for cloud penetration testing. This is a boon for professionals looking to enhance their toolkit and stay current with industry practices.Clear Language and Structure: The book is well-written, with technical concepts explained in clear, understandable language. The structure allows for a smooth progression from basic to advanced topics.Areas for Improvement:Depth in Certain Areas: While the book covers a broad range of topics, certain areas could benefit from deeper exploration. For example, more advanced techniques in automation and scripting might be useful for seasoned professionals. A lot of the book defines concepts and ensures the reader has a solid foundation - a deeper dive with actionable examples would be beneficial.Platform-Specific Depth: Given the vastness of AWS, Azure, and GCP, some sections might seem too brief. A deeper dive into the nuances of each platform could provide more tailored strategies for penetration testing.Rapidly Evolving Field: Cloud technology is rapidly evolving, and some sections might need updates to reflect the latest changes and trends in cloud security (recent high visibility vulnerabilities, AI and it's use in Pen Testing, etc.)Case Studies Diversity: While the practical scenarios are helpful, a more diverse range of case studies, covering various industries and cloud configurations, would enhance the real-world applicability.Integration with DevOps and CI/CD Pipelines: A section on how cloud penetration testing integrates with modern development practices like DevOps and CI/CD pipelines would be beneficial, given the current industry trends.Overall the book is a great primer, and would a valuable resource for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of penetration testing/red teaming. More experienced pen testers looking for a deep dive into advance techniques may find the book a little too high-level.

If you are getting started with penetration testing, more specifically cloud penetration testing, this book has everything you need to get started - it starts with penetration testing basics, which prepare you for more specific tasks and tools of penetration testing across the three major clouds. It discusses fundamentals, tools, and techniques, but not in a very deep sense - ideal for beginners. Seems that this book is not meant for the more experienced audience, although even this type of audience can find a thing or two for themselves (mostly in additional references). Would recommend this book as an entry point into penetration testing and multi-cloud penetration testing, to get acquainted with the basic procedures and tools.

John Jan 31, 2024

Not too technical. Not too theoretical. A good blend of theory and practical examples that give the cloud pentesting beginner a great idea of where to start in this pentesting space. Tools used are clearly identified and explained. This book is definitely for cloud pentesting beginners like me. I am happy with my purchase of the book. Thanks Kim!
