site. In-depth testing of the Web server is beyond the scope of the penetration test.<br />

The lack of access to the Web server outside of the PFE local area network was cited<br />

by PFE as a reason to leave this out of the test as a cost-saving measure.<br />

All that remains is the most important (<strong>and</strong> often least fun) part of a penetration<br />

test: reporting the results to the client. A penetration test is of little use if it fails to<br />

provide PFE <strong>with</strong> practical ways to improve their security. Writing your report on the<br />

lunchbox Beagle in the back of the minivan is optional.<br />

SUMMARY<br />

In this chapter, we have discussed the power needs of the Beagles. We have also provided<br />

a number of options for powering our penetration testing systems. Various<br />

power-saving methods were introduced. We ended the chapter <strong>with</strong> a penetration test<br />

of a small financial services firm using a single BeagleBone Black. In the next chapter,<br />

we will examine some of the input <strong>and</strong> output devices that can be utilized by our<br />

Beagles.
