Isn't attacking a highly protected system just a matter of finding many 
security holes, instead of just one or two?

There is at least some historic information about how attacks like these take 
place. In the '80's there were a number of books published about hacking. 
They often featured transcripts and descriptions of hacking sessions. And 
there is of course The Cuckoo's Egg. Perhaps there are other, similar 
publications.

Groetjes,
Peter.
