I used to pentest for a living. Still do some red team exercises every now and then, but far less now that I'm mainly blueteam focused.
I personally organized my report into three sections, which seemed to work well. Clients seemed to enjoy the formatting:
1. Executive - Summarize everything in one page at a high level. You could skim it fast if you chose to. Highlight potential negative business impact of each finding.
2. Management - A little more detailed. 2-3 pages max. Most severe findings at the top and recommended action for remediation.
3. Narrative - This is the bulk 80-90% of the report detailing your step by step process including screenshots so that if someone wanted to duplicate your findings they could.
- Ntrails 9y agoThe last (and only) pen test report I saw had some "escalation of such and such via this vague vector, please do x and y to close off this avenue" - strongly implying that they felt the actual trick being used was their IP to be protected? This was for using citrix boxes to provide saas to a client
