Everyoen loves war stories: I do consulting sometimes, and last time it 
was for a place with IDS, IPS, 3 AV subscriptions, HTTP proxy, split 
horizon DNS, 2 (!) layers of firewalls (statefull), encrypted and 
unencrypted wireless, NAC and traffic shaper. The bad guys still got in! 
How you ask? Easy: via HTTP/s, dns, smtp (traffic on all the protocols 
was proxied, in and out).
 


How was each protocol (HTTP, dns, smtp) used to get in?
Exploiting bugs in applications implementing each?
or...?
