Hi All,

How do you document and log the pentest session itself?

I want to document the pentest process in detail, not only for the customer, but for later reviews and to avoid legal difficulties.

What are the best tools to accomplish that or do you even record the sessions on video with a camcorder? Or some kind of screen recorder?

Thanks,

Jürgen

Same as when you do forensics, record the whole session, input and output, write it out to a text file, file command and last commands are time/date.

Then provide an md5 of the whole thing.

Cheers
