Hacking the Cloud is a community-maintained encyclopedia of offensive and defensive security techniques for cloud native technologies, covering AWS, Azure, GCP, and related tooling like Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes. It is built as a static documentation site with volunteer-contributed articles on attacks, tactics, and cloud security knowledge.

Use cases

• learn cloud penetration testing techniques
• study AWS privilege escalation attacks
• find cloud security attack references for red team engagements
• defend cloud environments against known attack tactics
• research Azure and GCP security weaknesses
• contribute cloud security writeups to a community resource

When to choose

• you need a free reference of cloud attack techniques for security assessments
• you are a defender studying how attackers exploit cloud environments
• you want community-curated cloud security knowledge across AWS, Azure, and GCP

When to avoid

• you need hands-on labs or guided training courses rather than reference articles
• you need comprehensive Azure or GCP coverage, which is still sparse
• you need a formal certification curriculum or structured learning path
