How To Incorporate Videos Into Pentesting Reports

To enhance your pentesting reports, consider incorporating videos that demonstrate how you exploited the target. Narrate the process as you record the attack chain. In the findings walkthrough section, include a comment such as:

“A video, titled , has been included with the artifacts from this test to show how this finding was exploited.”

Modern web applications often require chaining multiple smaller vulnerabilities to demonstrate risk. Screenshots alone may not provide sufficient evidence for customers to understand the exploit. A free and effective tool for this purpose is OBS Studio.

Practice-Verified Commands and Codes

1. Recording with OBS Studio (Windows/Linux/MacOS):

Install OBS Studio:
```
</li>
</ul>

<h1>Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)</h1>

```
2. Screen Recording on Linux (Alternative to OBS):
- Install `ffmpeg` for screen recording:
```
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
```
- Record your screen:
```
ffmpeg -video_size 1920x1080 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0+0,0 -f pulse -ac 2 -i default -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 18 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4
```
3. Windows Built-in Screen Recorder:
- Press `Win + G` to open the Game Bar and start recording.
4. MacOS Built-in Screen Recorder:
- Press `Shift + Command + 5` to open the screen recording tool.
What Undercode Say

Incorporating videos into pentesting reports is a game-changer for demonstrating exploit chains and vulnerabilities. Tools like OBS Studio, ffmpeg, and built-in OS screen recorders make it easy to capture and narrate your process. For Linux users, ffmpeg is a powerful alternative to OBS, while Windows and macOS offer native solutions. Always ensure your videos are concise and clearly explain the steps taken. This approach not only enhances your reports but also helps clients better understand the risks and remediation steps.
