In penetration tests I have been involved with, any information I acquire about the networks and systems that I otherwise wouldn't know makes it much easier for me to find the weakness(es) in the defenses I am testing.
On the flip side of the coin, a truly clever company might make available intentionally false network/security architecture information, just to confuse potential attackers a bit. RGF Robert G.
