Exploits are digital products, which means that they are information goods with near-zero marginal production costs. [7] However, they are atypical information goods. Unlike e-books or digital videos, they do not lose their value because they are easy to replicate but due to the fact that once they are exposed, the original developer will "patch" the vulnerability, decreasing the value of the ...
A zero-day (also known as a 0-day) is a vulnerability in software or hardware that is typically unknown to the vendor and for which no patch or other fix is available. The vendor thus has zero days to prepare a patch, as the vulnerability has already been described or exploited.
The cyber-arms industry are the markets and associated events [1] surrounding the sale of software exploits, zero-days, cyberweaponry, surveillance technologies, [2] and related tools [3] for perpetrating cyberattacks. The term may extend to both grey and black markets online and offline. [4]

Firefox was the third browser to be hacked using a zero day exploit. [37] Safari on Mac OS X Lion was the only browser left standing at the conclusion of the zero-day portion of Pwn2Own. Versions of Safari that were not fully patched and running on Mac OS X Snow Leopard were compromised during the CVE portion of Pwn2Own.
Their manifesto states: "ZERT members work together as a team to release a non-vendor patch when a so-called "0day" (zero-day) exploit appears in the open which poses a serious risk to the public, to the infrastructure of the Internet or both. The purpose of ZERT is not to "crack" products, but rather to "uncrack" them by averting security ...
[9] [10] Zero day vulnerabilities that are leased could be discovered and the software that is used to exploit them could be reverse engineered. It is as yet uncertain how profitable the exploit-as-a-service business model will be. If it turns out to be profitable, probably the amount of threat actors that will offer this service will increase ...
Zerodium was the first company to release a full pricing chart for zero-days, ranging from $5,000 to $1,500,000 per exploit. [1] The company was reported to have spent between $400,000 to $600,000 per month for vulnerability acquisitions in 2015. [2] In 2016, the company increased its permanent bug bounty for iOS exploits to $1,500,000. [3]
