Recently I came to know about this awesome site https://application.security which teaches security in the frontend itself. It is so amazing and UI is friendly that anyone would be able to understand it in clear and concise manner.

Especially the labs around cloud security is very good and will easily help to gain beginner level knowledge.

First it teaches how to find and exploit the vulnerability and later it teaches how we can fix and the LOC which was causing the issue.

Here are the AWS Top 10 security Labs which they have hosted and a link to get started:

Subdomain Takeover

S3 Bucket Public ‘READ’ Access

S3 Bucket Authenticated Users ‘WRITE’ Access

PS: Check a real vulnerability I found in ANI news .

S3 Directory Traversal

Weak S3 POST Upload Policy

Lambda Command Injection

Misconfigured Reverse Proxy

Misconfigured AWS Cognito Attributes

Misconfigured AWS Cognito profile allows self-registration

Excessive Logging

Dangerous Dependencies

Lambda XXE Injection
