Attacking DevOps Pipelines
Workshop Abstract
This training lab will walk students through practical, field-tested red team attacks against popular DevOps platforms. Students will get hands-on as they attack the fictitious World of Baseball Analysis (WOBA) LLC, a leader in advanced baseball scouting and research. Students will be taught how to identify escalation pathways through software development pipelines, CI/CD systems, and automation frameworks as they try to gain access to WOBA's intellectual property and flagship software platform.
Students will be exposed to TTPs pulled from real-world adversary simulations against source code repositories, build servers, credential vaults, automation tools, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) platforms.
Requirements:
A laptop with an OpenVPN client, browser, and RDP/SSH client. Students will receive an OpenVPN configuration file that provides access to the training environment.
