    I agree.

    Juan, if it is your mission to show the CEO you can hack his machine, it
    is because you're the internal security expert AND hacker. Since you're
    the best hacker in your company, if you can't hack the CEO's machine it
    is because it is well protected.

    However, as phugo pointed out, there are probably more interesting and
    more vulnerable machines in your network. You should concentrate on
    those to show your CEO that anyone with little security knowledge can
    access confidential data or compromise servers or read other people's
    email or whatever else you may find.

    One thing that works really well for this type of demo, is to sit on the
    network with Cain ARP poisonning the gateway or mail or file server or
    proxy and looking at all the passwords it gathers.
