1) The pre-engagement survey is designed to give the penetration tester a good idea of the kind of environment he will be testing. Examples could be Cisco devices, Type third-party software, Server location.

2) It should be understood that legacy devices and software should be directly notified to the penetration tester due to outdated legacy software being damaged or corrupted during tests.
