I would consider it just to keep up the formal bujsiness side and get experience with business as well as tech.

Plus if anything happens everyone is covered.

Subject: Pen-Test as a favor

Hey, I'm working as an IT intern in a doctors office and I got
permission to do a little pen-testing on their servers on my own time.
How necessary would it be to get written permission before I take any
action? The Admin/CTO is a pretty good friend and I doubt would even
consider taking any legal action if anything happened.

If I do need a contract or something could someone point me in the
direction of a template. I have never even seen such a
contract/agreement before and I would never be able to write one up on
my own properly.

Thanks,
Chris Benedict
