You know, I heard about this guy who thought he could just waltz in and hack a company without permission. Let's just say, he's now serving a nice long prison sentence. Stick with C, folks.

A legal agreement is crucial to ensure the penetration test is authorized and conducted ethically. It's not about the consultant's fees, but rather protecting both parties involved.
