Hey, I'm working as an IT intern in a doctors office and I got
permission to do a little pen-testing on their servers on my own time.
How necessary would it be to get written permission before I take any
action? The Admin/CTO is a pretty good friend and I doubt would even
consider taking any legal action if anything happened.
If anything happened then I imagine the Admin/CTO may not be the person
making the decision whether or not to take legal action. Always protect
yourself with a signed agreement. In this instance consider it good
practice for future engagements as this is the sort of skill pen testers
overlook at their peril.
Best Regards,
Jim
