What Is Ethical Hacking in Cloud Computing?

Introduction

In 2025, 90% of Indian companies run on AWS, Azure, or GCP. One misconfigured S3 bucket or over-permissive IAM role can leak crores of customer data in seconds. Our 8,000+ placed students at Ethical Hacking Training Institute & Webasha Technologies legally hack real cloud environments of banks, fintech, and startups every week in our dedicated cloud lab. They then secure the same setups and earn ₹22 to 75 LPA at AWS, Microsoft, Google, Deloitte, Paytm, Zerodha, and global cloud security firms.

Top 10 Cloud Misconfigurations Hackers Target in 2025

• Public S3 buckets / Azure blobs / GCS buckets
• Over-permissive IAM roles and policies
• Exposed metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254)
• Serverless functions (Lambda, Azure Functions) with excessive permissions
• Insecure SSRF leading to metadata theft
• Public snapshots and AMIs containing secrets
• Misconfigured security groups and network ACLs
• Hardcoded credentials in code repositories
• Unrestricted inbound rules on RDS, DocumentDB
• Debug mode enabled on cloud applications
