When looking at resources to target in facing the Internet, you are trying to determine what services may have exposures that allow you to gain access to critical services. So, for example, SSH or Telnet may not be linked to a Windows account authentication unless the organization is very mature and is using a product such as Centrify. As such, dictionary attacks against these types of services may not provide access to a resource that will allow you to move laterally using the details extracted. Additionally, most administrative teams have pretty good monitoring of Linux and Unix based resources in the security environment due to the ease of incorporating such devices.
