Which of the following is the goal of the cleanup step in the penetration testing process?
To leave the system in a better state by fixing found vulnerabilities
To return everything to the pre-test state
To clean up logs containing records of testing activities
To remove installed malware but leave useful security applications installed so they can be used by the customer
The last step is to clean up any mess that may have been created during the penetration test. It is important to restore the client's systems and network back to their original state. It is up to the organization which is being tested, after the business arrangement between tester and company has concluded, to perform the steps "use useful security applications" and "fix vulnerabilities." Logs of testing activities are only one of the many things that must be cleaned.
