Permissions
Please don't forget the most important part of conducting a scanning operation, which is permission. Written and
signed permission is best. If a manager is reluctant to sign-off on a pentest, then you could give them the alternative
of signing-off on “not doing the pentest,” and thus accepting the associated risk of an unaudited system. Either way,
make sure you have the documentation to demonstrate that your actions are authorized, and remember that the only
thing we take with us is our reputation. The next chapter is about audit trails and how to detect previous activities in a
large database estate.
