Extra Border Hacking - How a company can be hacked without the hacker ever picking on that companies machine

Presented at DEF CON 7 (1999), July 11, 1999, 11 a.m. (50 minutes)

Companies may defend themselves from hacking attacks from the internet by using firewalls and other defences, but what about their defences beyond their site's boundary? Can attacks here cause damage? or enable an intruder to break into their sites? This presentation will outline what tricks can happen on the internet and how you can defend yourself outside your normal area of control, without resorting to illegal measures.
