Don't tell them that to their faces for starters.

You should include an example of subversion of an HTTP server entirely
through a web browser. This could be something like using the Unicode or
maybe even the CGI-double decode problems in MS IIS. Execute some commands,
copy some files from the HTTP server filesystem to the webroot and download
them etc. It is important to demonstrate that in some cases you don't need
any 'hacking' tools at all and not that much expertise. That can have a
great deal of impact.
