The first step is to conduct the passive and active reconnaissance previously described (refer to Chapter 2, Open-Source Intelligence and Passive Reconnaissance, and Chapter 3, Active Reconnaissance of External and Internal Networks).

In particular, ensure that hosted sites are identified, and then use DNS mapping to identify all the hosted sites that are delivered by the same server. One of the most common and successful means of attack is to attack a non-target site hosted on the same physical server as the target website, exploit weaknesses in the server to gain root access, and then use the escalated privileges to attack the targeted site.

This approach works pretty well in a shared cloud environment, where many applications are hosted on the same Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
