Why these techniques?

Path traversal allows arbitrary sensitive file reads from the local system, facilitating data collection from local system (T1005), file and directory discovery (T1083), unsecured credentials in files (T1552.001), and specifically /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow dumping (T1003.008).
