Pentester says he broke into datacenter via hidden route running behind toilets
Many security breaches involve leaks, but not perhaps in the same way as one revealed by noted security consultant Andrew Tierney, who managed to gain unauthorized access to a datacenter via what he delightfully terms the"piss corridor.", revealed in a Twitter thread how one of his more memorable exploits involved demonstrating that it was possible to gain physical access to the supposedly secure area of a datacenter via its toilet facilities.
Posting a diagram to illustrate, Tierney showed that the unnamed facility had separate toilet facilities for the general office space and the secure area where the IT infrastructure is housed. However, the two toilet facilities were adjoined, and Tierney realized there was actually a shared access space for servicing the toilets that ran behind both sets of cubicles, which he christened the"piss corridor.
One of my favourite physical access jobs to a datacenter involved toilets.Let me explain.I needed to gain access from the less-secure side of a sub basement floor to the more-secure side. General office space to data centre.
