There are more cloud service providers offering serverless or Function-as-a-service platforms for quickly deploying and scaling applications without the need for dedicated server instances and the overhead of system administration. This technical talk will cover the basic concepts of microservices and FaaS, and how to use them to scale time consuming offensive security testing tasks. Attacks that were previously considered impractical due to time and resource constraints can now be considered feasible with the availability of cloud services and the neverending free flow of public IP addresses to avoid attribution and blacklists.

Key takeaways include a guide to scaling your tools and a demonstration on the practical benefits of utilising cloud services in performing undetected port scans, opportunistic attacks against short lived network services, brute-force attacks on services and OTP values, and creating your own whois database, shodan/censys, and searching for the elusive internet accessible IPv6 hosts.
