Dreamcast used to hack corporate networks


Recommended Posts

The box cycles through the ports used for common services like SSH, Web surfing, and e-mail, which tend to be permitted by firewall configurations. Failing that, it tries getting "ping" packets out to the Internet, and finally looks for proxy servers bridging the network to the outside world.

Then once a route out is found, it's easy to get in :p
