Haha, well I guess.
To start you off:
Composite order attacks: things that are prime tend to be hard to attack. If your curve doesn’t use prime stuff then you can take the factors of the thing and attack it in little groups.
Anomalous curves: elliptic curves have a total number of points. We call that the order. So does the “field” (kinda like a box) that the curve lives in. If the number of elements in the field and the number of elements in the curve are the same, you can kinda “lift” the curve out of its box and put it in another box that’s easier to smash it in. :)
