- Have a rough frame of reference for how a researcher (or security professional) would typically go through attacking a given target, meaning that you're aware of common attack vectors and methodologies in testing.
- Able to create a mental (or written) model of a target's attack surface and understand what types of attacks would be commonly leveraged against targets of a particular genre.
