Finally got around to publishing my cloud security class slides. Used to charge a lot of money for this but focus on pentesting now. Still mostly relevant.

Just saw on the news last night that some residents are protesting an AI data center in Port Wentworth which is adjacent to Savannah. Interesting.

All labs published including a pentesting lab (everyone’s favorite topic it seems) showing how to create a C2 channel on a vulnerable Wordpress instance that can run commands on the host OS and in your cloud if misconfigured.

Still… @bsky.app is the most difficult social media platform to post on because I have to spend time breaking up long posts into smaller bits. If you want to force smaller bits at least break it up for me when I enter a long post.

AI hallucinations again. I asked Google aimode for a certain product manufactured in USA and it gave me a company name. Sounded good.

People always ask me how to convince people security is important. Thats why I cover all the cloud breaches and threats on day one of this class. These are all still relevant but I would add others on my blog if I was writing this class today.

When my agents went haywire yesterday I thought maybe they would just work in the a.m. They did not. I did some investigation and added some monitoring.

I got a question AWS security cert materials. The vendor certs show you know how to use specific tools. My class focused on concepts that apply to any security tool. Why is your security team asking for all those annoying things? 😉

Posted more class labs. The labs illustrate concepts. WHY they matter is in the slides.

I was in AI Nirvana for a bit yesterday and then hit a wall which I think had to do with session load and authentication issues. I’m sure that will be resolved soon. But the other thing is that AI agents start off great but then swing wildly like they are affected by some centripetal force. Why?
For today’s ai 🤖 experiment I have multiple agents competing with each other. I’ve combined deterministic methods with ai methods to check and improve the output. I couldn’t get kiro hooks to do that so I had to create my own hooks.

I am running Kiro CLI in a locked down project directory and it is trying to download and run a crate called a stream v.0.6.21 which has nothing to do with anything I am doing. What is up with that?

When I taught this cloud was a new to most. Security teams were unfamiliar with how developers work and developers were unfamiliar with why security teams wanted things. I had to provide content for both. It was also a lot of gound to cover in five days!

I introduced automation on the first day of my cloud security class and explain why. Day 1 included a sample lab on GCP Azure and AWS. I hosted the lab code in a git repo so people unfamiliar with that could learn how and why to use it.

One of the first things I learned when I started researching cloud security was its impact on jurisdiction and why location matters. It’s in the first day of my class materials.

I was just reading about Kiro autonomous agent to see how it is different than the framework I wrote for Q/Kiro CLI running in sandboxes. Here’s the crucial bit:

Runs tasks in isolated sandbox environments and opens pull requests for review.

FTR @bsky.app is one of the hardest social media platforms to post on. Posts are too short. Critical parts get buried. At least you can edit posts unlike X with its time limits and quote unlike Mastodon. Also for some reason thumbnails are not showing up on Mastodon. LinkedIn mangles URLs. Oh well
I started by introducing the Golum Project which got people to register their own computers in exchange for crypto currency to explain concepts like shared infrastructure, distributed computing, and considerations for applications running on cloud architectures.

Day 1 of my cloud security class starts with what is cloud…something which I tend to think of differently than a lot of other security people who say is just “someone else’s computer.”
