Scheduling during low impact? Nah, real pentesters do it during the busiest time. More drama that way!

Notifying customers? That's just asking for trouble. Better keep this one under wraps until I'm done.

But without management approval, we can't proceed with the test. It's crucial to have their support.

Hmm, I think the first step is definitely obtaining management approval. Can't start hacking without the green light!
