When you have successfully completed the penetration test and produced the documentation. Your report should look professional, organized, and clearly explain the findings, and it should also be in nontechnical language and explain how these issues may have been overlooked. Focus on what allowed you to enter, but also make sure to point out when something worked.

Take a moment and break down the problems encountered during the penetration test and record them in your report.

The intent of this chapter is to try and test an architecture that reflects the type you may encounter in your testing; furthermore, the design within this chapter will allow you to test a variety of different defensive challenges that you may encounter in your testing. As has been the motto throughout the book, as a professional tester it is our job to discover the potential weaknesses of our client's networks and then create a report that can help improve the security of the client. When you have accomplished this, then you have achieved the highest level of success within your testing. Best of luck! Enjoy testing using a methodical and persistent approach.
