Metasploit Penetration Testing Cookbook - Third Edition

Setting up a cloud penetration testing lab

Testing new tools and techniques is an important part of a penetration tester's job. Every day new tools are created and new techniques found, so keep up with the industry. We have to invest a fair amount of our time practicing and mastering the tools of our trade. Having a data center where we can set up a lab environment and practice is not always possible and can be quite expensive. With cloud services getting cheaper, faster, and easier to use, we do not have an excuse not to have a penetration testing lab.
