Dumpster Diving
Also called trashing — what an attacker reconstructs about an organisation from the paper and hardware it throws away.
WAS THIS HELPFUL?
IN THIS RECORDING
- Dumpster diving (trashing) as a source of a rich vein of information

- Memos for authenticity, policy manuals for how secure the company really is
- Calendars that reveal which employees are out of town
- System manuals and technical data as the keys to the network
- Discarded hard drives that can be restored
