dumpster diving (foldoc) | dumpster diving
/dump'-ster di:'-ving/ 1. Searching refuse outside buildings in the
hope of
finding confidential data (especially security-compromising) or
equipment
that either works or can be fixed. A "dumpster" is a "skip" - an
open-topped container designed to hold large quantities of rubbish.
Back in AT&T's monopoly days, before paper shredders became common
office
equipment, phone phreaks used to organise regular dumpster runs.
Discarded
copies of AT&T internal manuals taught them much. The technique is
still
rumored to be a favourite of crackers operating against careless
targets.

dumpster diving (jargon) | dumpster diving
/dump'·ster di:'·ving/, n.
1. The practice of sifting refuse from an office or technical installation
to extract confidential data, especially security-compromising information
(‘dumpster’ is an Americanism for what is elsewhere called a skip). Back in
AT&T's monopoly days, before paper shredders became common office
equipment, phone phreaks (see phreaking) used to organize regular
dumpster runs against phone company plants and offices. Discarded and
damaged copies of AT&T internal manuals taught them much. The technique is
still rumored to be a favorite of crackers operating against careless
targets.
2. The practice of raiding the dumpsters behind buildings where producers
and/or consumers of high-tech equipment are located, with the expectation
(usually justified) of finding discarded but still-valuable equipment to be
nursed back to health in some hacker's den. Experienced dumpster-divers not
infrequently accumulate basements full of moldering (but still potentially
useful) cruft.
