Abstract

This paper discusses methods, tools, approaches, and techniques used for the penetration testing on the cloud-based web application on Amazon AWS platform. The findings of a penetration test could be used to fix weaknesses and vulnerabilities and significantly improve security. The testing is implemented by undertaking a malicious attack aiming to breach system networks and thereby confirm the presence of cloud infrastructure. The research focuses on cloud-based web applications’ high-risk vulnerabilities such as unrestricted file upload, command injection, and cross-site scripting. The outcomes expose and approved some vulnerabilities, flaws, and mistakes in the utilised cloud-based web application. It is concluded that some vulnerabilities have to be considered before architecting the cloud system. Recommendations are proposing solutions to testing results.
