Re: pentest documentation

["Andrew Hay" <andrewsmhay () gmail com>]

Hi Jürgen,

I would document the session in a hand-written notebook (each page
dated and numbered)  and, if needed, take photographs instead of
video.  If you ever needed to present this data in a court of law the
jury tends to associate better with the above formats.

That being said, if presenting to a client, you would probably want to
present a formal document based on your notes taken at the time of the
testing.

Hope this helps.
