Abstract: This paper basically derives various vulnerabilities in openstack and we have try provide a solutions to mitigate these exploits. In the first section we briefly look at the security issues that cloud computing faces. We take a look at the security architecture of Cloud computing in general and then understand the security architecture of OpenStack. In the second section we look at all the known vulnerabilities in OpenStack. We understand how these vulnerabilities can be exploited and how can they be mitigated. The majority of the work done on this project is explained in the second section. The third section consists of a security assessment of Openstack. Firstly, We make a security assessment of Openstack with nMap scans, then we attack Openstack with tools like Metasploit, THC Hydra, Acunetix etc. We also try to exploit OpenStack with known vulnerabilities and try to find new vulnerabilities. Finally, we conclude by providing solutions to mitigate these exploits.
Keywords: derives various, openstack, security issues, vulnerabilities.
