3Guided Lab: Establishing and Detecting Cloud Persistence
Frequently Asked Questions
What is cloud post-exploitation?
It covers what attackers do once they have gained initial access: establishing persistence, expanding privileges, moving laterally and avoiding detection inside cloud accounts, services and workloads.
How do attackers persist in cloud environments?
Common methods include creating extra IAM users or access keys, modifying role trust policies, planting backdoored Lambda functions or abusing automation. Defenders monitor logs for such changes.
Is this room about attack or defense?
Both. Understanding attacker techniques helps you detect and prevent them. The advanced room is free on Codelivly and is intended for learners with some cloud and security experience.
