There are two (2) categories of Attackers Mindset: Offensive Attackers Mindset (OAMs) and Defensive Attackers Mindset (DAMs)
The Offensive Attackers Mindset allows you as an ethical attacker (EA) to direct an event in the direction of the objective. More especially, it allows you insights normally invisible to others (namely defense).
As an offensive attacker being comfort with risk is one of the most essential skill required. However comfort with risk does not equal discomfort with caution but too much discomfort with caution will not serve you well in the field.
Defensive Attackers Mindset:A defensive attacker mindset will help an attacker win consistently and in all conditions.
• DAMs also teaches you that getting to the root cause of an anxious feeling will help take it from a feeling to a thought that can be broken down and dealt with and, hopefully, eradicated.
• Whereas your OAMs wants you to pivot at every possible opportunity that presents itself, your DAMs holds you back when necessary, knowing that not every incident or event is an opportunity and that observation without action can be just as powerful.
• Whenever the two are in conflict, OAMs will push you to do what it takes to win; DAMs will pull you to use caution, urging you to not take big risks.
• If there’s no life- threatening danger, and you are closing in on the end of an attack, you should go for the win. If the risk you need to take in that moment threatens the rest of the engagement, fall back and reassess.
Summary: Being able to think straight and maintain effective thoughts under pressure is key when working in a hectic or fluid situation. Preparation and staying aligned with your goal and adapting to the situation are critical. Your mental agility is a great asset, as is believing the attack will never overtake you. You are performing it. You have as much control as you will ever have. The rest is chance. Find comfort in that.
