Dumpster diving, or trashing, is a name given to a type of security attack by scavenging through materials that have been thrown away for any information that can help crack a system.
Around the offices and in the trash, crackers can find used disks and tapes, discarded printouts, and handwritten notes of all kinds. They may also retrieve printouts, computer manuals, and other documents from which they extract information needed to crack the system. In the system itself are files that have been deleted, but that haven't actually been erased from the system.
