Course Description

Welcome to "Cloud Penetration Testing with Azure - Master Initial Access," your ultimate guide to mastering cloud-specific penetration testing and ethical hacking in Microsoft Azure. Designed for all skill levels, this course combines comprehensive theoretical knowledge with hands-on practical exercises to enhance your cloud security expertise with NO prior cloud knowledge required.

This course is ideal for both beginners and experienced cybersecurity professionals looking to deepen their knowledge and skills in cloud security.

We begin by setting up your pentesting lab environment using FREE Microsoft 365 and Azure subscriptions. You'll secure admin accounts, configure Entra ID user accounts, and leverage tools like AAD Internals for effective reconnaissance and target identification.

Our focus then shifts to mastering initial access techniques within Azure environments. You'll master methods such as brute force attacks, password spraying, and sophisticated phishing strategies using tools like EvilGinx and GraphSpy.

You will exploit Azure cloud storage by setting up a pentesting lab for blob hunting, using tools like MicroBurst and ForexBuster to perform predictable resource location attacks.

Throughout the course, you'll use a variety of powerful tools, including PowerShell scripts to setup lab for penetration testing.

You will learn how to use following tools:

  • AAD Internals

  • O365Spray

  • Evilginx

  • GraphSpy

  • MicroBurst

  • FeroxBuster

  • and more...


The practical approach ensures you can apply your skills directly to Azure environments.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in cloud penetration testing, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to detect, prevent, and secure cloud environment effectively.

As an Azure Security engineer you learn all the blue team aspects about protecting infrastructure and data. This course shows the red team tools used to compromise the vulnerable parts of Azure and why it matters on what security controls we use.

It's amazing material to understand how Azure works, simple and effective explanations, also attack Mitigation part was superb, especially condition policy importance and how to properly implement them. Loved part about phishing attacks and how easy is to bypass even 2FA

Content is good but need to address the failed line reads in section 4.17, and in multiple videos in section 3.

By Anthony Abridello on 8/28/2024

Just started but the instructor sounds knowledgeable, and the content looks to be very informative.

By Anonymized User on 8/26/2024

Content is great. The only suggestion would be to edit out the failed line reads.

By Sergio Londono on 8/19/2024

Excellent training that shows real case scenarios, how to setup and how to protect.

By David Pesqueira on 8/16/2024

Great course! Wanted to let the creator know there are a bunch of spots that I think were meant to be edited, where you stop and then start the same part over. But, that doesn't take away from all the great information!
