Practical DevOps Security and Exploitation is a brand new and unique class by Attify. This class has been created as a result of our many pentest engagement experiences where we have exploited vulnerabilities in the various systems supporting CI/CD during DevOps transition of an organisation. The class covers hands-on techniques to both exploit as well as defend various systems that support the target CI/CD Architecture.
This class takes practitioner's approach in breaking, exploiting and securing systems owned by DevOps teams, thus enabling them to move towards DevSecOps. Some of the topics that we will cover are Exploiting Various tools from the CI/CD landscape like Jenkins, Git, Multiple Cloud instances, practical security issues in Docker instances and setting up your DevSecOps architecture.
This training covers different CI/CD tools with pentesters perspective and hence each tool will be covered as below:
Code Versioning Systems (Git, GitHub, Bitbucket etc.)
Exploiting the product features
Finding existing exploits or implementation loopholes
Identifying historically stored sensitive information
Hardening and Securing Guidelines
Orchestration Tools (Ansible, Saltstack etc.)
Exploiting the access rights and configuration mistakes
Use of Orchestration tools to mass deploy the exploits
Finding sensitive information
Guidelines to securely configure and organise the orchestration tools
Build Servers (Jenkins, Hudson etc.)
Pentesting and Vulnerability Assessment
Risk involved with Plugins
Exploiting most common configuration mistakes
Breaking the boundaries with superuser access rights
Scheduling vulnerability assessment reports for the CI/CD chain.
Guidelines to avoid security issues with integration of various CI/CD tools
Container Platform (Docker, Kubernetes etc.)
Pentesting and Vulnerability Assessment
Exploiting most common configuration mistakes
Guidelines with respect to microservices to avoid bloating containers with superuser access rights
Security in Cloud (AWS, Google Cloud etc.)
Configuration best practices for Identity & Access Management Portals
Planning right network architecture with use of VPC and VPN
Securing instances by running only the required services
Configuring instances at the boot time to remove unwanted softwares or upgrade to stable software versions with no known vulnerabilities.
Using access tokens and Cloud API's to regularly rotate keys/passwords.
This is an action packed class with over 20+ labs covering a number of attacks, vulnerabilities and exploitation tactics.
Deliverables:
Lab handouts with readymade scripts for use
Printed commands cheatsheet
VM for pentesting and securing DevOps instances with pre-configured tools and vulnerable labs
After the training, attendees would be able to:
Identifying vulnerabilities in the implementation of the CI/CD instances.
Find and craft publicly available exploits to compromise the CI instance
Address configuration related vulnerabilities
Abuse Jenkins script console
Create an attack surface map of the entire architecture
Implement usage of password vaults.
Write build jobs which can enable privileged access to the target system and steal sensitive values
Abuse Git history and fix/preventing the problems using git hooks
Create scheduled validation scripts to enforce security best practices
Perform docker breakouts
Audit different tools used in CI/CD chain
Guidelines for centralized authentication and authorization
Design secure cloud architectures
Minimum Requirements:
Laptop with Windows/Linux/MacOS pre-installed
8 GB RAM
40 GB of free disk space.
Modern CPU 2.2GHz or more with Virtualization support
Wifi Enabled for network access
1 USB 2.0 port
Capability to run VirtualBox/VmWare virtual machines
Administrative rights on the laptop to install required software packages.

- Infrastructure Security Consultant - Attify
I have several years of experience with Integration of various tools. For last couple of years have been working at multiple small startups and established organisations to setup different CI/CD tools required to support DevOps transformation. Suggesting and implementing industry best practices to securely deploy and integrate these tools have been one of the key factors for my role.
