An attacker exploits well known locations for resources for the purposes
						of undermining the security of the target. In many, if not most, systems,
						files and resources are organized in the same tree structure. This can be
						useful for attackers because they often know where to look for resources or
						files that are necessary for attacks. Even when the precise location of a
						targeted resource may know be known, naming conventions may indicate a small
						area of the target machine's file tree where the resources are typically
						located. For example, configuration files are normally stored in the /etc
						director on Unix systems. Attackers can take advantage of this to commit
						other types of attacks.
