Fun with Google Cloud's default service accounts (and how to leverage them for offensive purposes)

If people are thinking of checking out Blue Sky for any reason and are wondering how to find interesting accounts, it's worth knowing about their starter pack feature. Some possibly handy ones below.

☁️ State of Cloud Security
2024 update of @Datadog’s report analyzing security posture data from a sample of thousands of orgs across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
• Long-lived credentials continue to be a major risk.
• Adoption of public access blocks in cloud storage services is rapidly increasing,
• <1/2 of EC2 instances enforce IMDSv2, but adoption is growing
• Securing managed Kubernetes clusters requires non-default, cloud-specific tuning
• Insecure IAM roles for third-party integrations leave AWS accounts at risk of exposure
• Most cloud incidents are caused by compromised cloud credentials

People often ask how many talks/cons my rigs have recorded by now, and I'd just accept any number suggested because, well, 🤷🏻♂️.
Today I figured oh well, and ran some numbers:
Events - 281 spread over 686 days.
Talks - 5255 of which 4625 are currently online.

A globally distributed team of people have been...creating a lot of print jobs in the past 24 hours. And by that I mean we've been testing the new big-name RCE. See our detailed analysis here: securitylabs.datadoghq.com/a…

As a reminder for whoever is looking for my old articles such as .NET remoting article, please use my blog instead of the NCC Group research website as they have mangled almost all documents containing XML.
e.g.: soroush.me/blog/2019/03/find…
They all have a PDF there.
