"The Hack"
The Hack is based on the fact that a second secret/hidden network and second IP address is assigned to your modem. Under normal use, you cannot detect or see this from your LAN, but the attacker has direct access to your modem and LAN in your house from the Internet.
How it Works
When the DSL connection is established a covert DHCP request is sent to a secret military network owned by the U.S. Government D.O.D. You are then part of that U.S. D.O.D. military network, this happens even before you have been assigned your public IP address from your actual ISP.
This spy network is hidden from the LAN/switch using firewall rules and traffic is hidden using VLANs in the case of BT et al, it uses VLAN 301, but other vendors modems may well use different VLANs. The original slide has a strange number 242 with grey background, we think this represents the VLAN number/Vendor number so BT would be 301.
