Why these techniques?

Pre-auth directory traversal enables arbitrary file read (e.g., /etc/passwd), facilitating public-facing app exploitation (T1190), file discovery (T1083), user discovery (T1033), credential dumping from /etc/passwd/shadow (T1003.008), and unsecured credentials in files (T1552.001).
