Challenge to the reader
Use the lab setup that was provided earlier to perform a fully documented test against the Kioptrix Level 1 Machine!
After you have completed your report take a step back and picture yourself as a business owner who receives this report as your output. Does your work allow for remediation of any issues that were found? Did you provide enough cross-reference material so that the document can stand on its own after the initial consultation has been completed?
Take a look at Chapter 1, Planning and Scoping for a Successful Penetration Test, again and see if you can set up an HTML template that enables you to easily import your detail data into your final report. Once something like this has been automated it has the potential to save a significant amount of time!
