A formal contract that identifies permitted network ranges and prohibited targets creates unambiguous guidelines. It documents what is fair game for the engagement and what is off-limits. Approaches focusing on confidentiality or analyzing regulations may be relevant, but they do not directly detail which systems and addresses are in or out of scope. Similarly, a peer review confirms quality but does not specify the exact boundaries of testing.
