It's challenge time and this one we're going to be making an executive summary.
Now again, it's a summary. It's not supposed to be a dissertation, but I'm
going to cover some of
the information here and put some bullet points right below this video so that
way you can compile
together how you at home would like to compile or present your executive
summary. One thing I
really want to stress here is that there's no single answer for an executive
summary.
Different folks have different ways of presenting information and putting
together and preparing
an executive summary for a pen test, but the idea remains the same with the
five areas that we
covered in the previous portion of the skill. Now between one May and 14 May
2025, we conducted a
pen test against CBT nuggets and there were a bunch of areas that we were
looking to test out against
such as systems that could lead to credentials that could lead to unauthorized
access, maybe even
some data that was being exposed and see if we could cause disruption services
based on some of the
exploitation practices that we're going to be trained up in throughout this
course.
And some of those findings that we had are going to be reported in our key
finding section. Now I
have again right below this challenge video some of the findings that we had so
you can expand on
them at your leisure inside of the executive summary. Now based on this
information that I've
given you so far, we have a risk assessment that needs to be made and I'm going
to let you choose
how you want to be able to identify this as a low, medium, high or critical. I
have my own which
will be coming up here in the solution and we'll review it together. And then
whatever recommendations
that you would like to make and they usually are tied to the key finding. So if
you have key
finding number one, you should have recommendation number one and they should
kind of be tied together.
And then whatever your conclusion is and if you want to be able to sign and
validate your executive
summary. So now that you have that information and what you see right below
this video, let's go
go ahead and do it to it and I shall see you in the solution.
