Make it a business proposal and lay out all of the steps, naming exact tools and procedures
Comment on what you could expect to find
Lots of details – no simple overview, you have to have enough content to prove what you suggest will work or be of benefit
Final Project
Goal is to tell me what I don’t know
I don’t want you to tell me the easy stuff, I need to fix that beforehand
Tell me how to prepare before you come in
Run the Microsoft analysis tools, patch everything, make sure policies are up to date
Request authorization
You need a letter protecting you so you can explore my system
If you don’t have the letter – you go to jail.
Say that you will not do any destructive tests
