Welcome to my open-source repository dedicated to the practical world of DevSecOps, Application Security, and Cloud Security. This is a curated collection of materials, notes, and tools accumulated during my tenure as a DevSecOps and AppSec Engineer.
This repository is designed to be a hands-on guide for engineers, providing real-world examples, configurations, and insights to help you build more secure, robust, and automated systems from code to cloud.
Disclaimer: This repository contains materials for educational and informational purposes only.
- The eBooks are provided for personal review and exploration. Please support authors by purchasing official copies if you find them valuable.
- Always test configurations and commands in a non-production environment first. The examples are provided "as-is."
This vault is organized into several key areas:
A compilation of my personal notes on various DevSecOps and AppSec concepts, methodologies, and best practices. This is distilled knowledge from hands-on experience.
A selection of books and long-form articles covering:
- DevSecOps culture and implementation
- Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
- Cloud Security fundamentals
- Container and Kubernetes security
- Threat modeling and risk assessment
Ready-to-use (or adapt) configuration files for your projects:
- YAML Manifests: For Kubernetes, Docker Compose, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkinsfile).
- Bash Scripts: For automation, security scanning, and system hardening.
Practical examples of integrating security tools directly into Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines:
- SAST (Static Application Security Testing): Integration with tools like Semgrep, Bandit, SonarQube.
- SCA (Software Composition Analysis): Using tools like OWASP Dependency-Check, Snyk, Dependabot.
- DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) & IaC Scanning: Examples for checking running environments and infrastructure-as-code.
- Gating Mechanisms: How to fail a build or require approval based on security findings.
Condensed instructions and tips for using popular security and DevOps tools effectively.
Actionable advice and code snippets for securing your cloud infrastructure:
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) best practices.
- Secure network configurations (VPC, Security Groups, Firewall Rules).
- Hardening guidelines for popular cloud services (Compute, Storage, Databases).
- Compliance and auditing setup.
- Explore: Browse the folders. The structure is meant to be intuitive.
- Learn: Read the notes and guides to understand the 'why' behind the practices.
- Copy & Adapt: Use the config samples and scripts as a starting point for your own projects. Remember to customize them for your specific environment and needs.
