Cloud Pentesting Methodology là gì
Cloud penetration testing is authorized, methodical exploitation of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) to identify security weaknesses before attackers do. Unlike automated scanning, pentesters chain misconfigurations into real compromise scenarios: e.g., overpermissive IAM → privilege escalation → data exfiltration. Key attack vectors:

❓ Câu hỏi thường gặp
What's the difference between pentesting and vulnerability scanning?
Scanning = automated tools finding misconfigs. Pentesting = manual exploitation + business impact assessment + reporting. Pentesting 10x more expensive, 10x more valuable.
Is cloud pentesting more or less complex than on-prem?
More complex. You're attacking shared infrastructure, multi-tenant systems, API-first architecture. Misconfigs are subtle (overpermissive IAM, exposed S3 buckets).
What's the job market?
~2k roles (US, growing 20% YoY). Consultant/freelance = highest earnings ($150–250/hour). Staff roles in big tech = $200–300k + bonus. Shortage is real.
Do I need CEH/OSCP?
CEH = easier, more corporate accepted. OSCP = harder, more respected by elite hackers. Start CEH; move to OSCP if serious.
How legal is this?
Extremely legal if authorized. Get written scope and rules of engagement (ROE). Unauthorized = criminal. Be paranoid about scope.
Can I work from home?
Yes. Remote engagements standard. You VPN into client infrastructure, run tools, document findings.
Career ceiling?
Senior security consultant $250–350k, Principal Penetration Tester $300k+, VP Security at big tech $400k+.
