I believe scanning for vulnerabilities should be the first step so we know where to focus our efforts.

But shouldn't we research publicized incidents first to see if there are any known vulnerabilities?

You know, I bet someone's going to pick option B just to be 'edgy' or something. But that's a hard pass for me - I value my freedom too much.

Option D is the only sensible choice. I don't know about you, but I'm not trying to end up in handcuffs over this exam question.

Seriously, who would even consider option A? That's just asking for trouble. We need to dot our i's and cross our t's here, folks.

Haha, can you imagine just diving in and trying random exploits without permission? That's a surefire way to get arrested - or at the very least, fired!

I agree, D is the only correct answer here. Performing a penetration test without explicit authorization could be considered hacking, and that's not something we want to risk.

This is a tricky question, but I think the answer is obvious - we need to get written permission first before doing anything else. Attempting exploits or even scanning for vulnerabilities without permission could get us in legal trouble.
