Is that all that is outlined in the scope of the test?  can I use social engineering and viruses/trojans? can I get 
phyical access to the site? can i leave a few usb drivers laying around? Am I allowed to DoS production machines?

I would say if I am allowed to use social engineering and leave a few usb drives laying around the site that I can get 
in.

take care and have fun --John

Given this scenario: Red team pen test from the Internet with no  
information or cooperation from IT staff.

What would be a reasonable success rate of breaking in to say at  
least DMZ machines? Of internal hosts on private network?
