OK, good points. And since my mac dictionary widget doesn't have the term yet, I vote for "0day dis" It has a nice ring to it ;) Curt On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 12:24 PM, <w0lfd33m () gmail com> wrote:
Yep. Totally agree. Vulnerability exists in the system since it has been developed. It is just the matter when it has been disclosed or being exploited. I would suggest " 0 day disclosure" instead of "0 day vulnerability" :) ------Original Message------ From: Curt Purdy Sender: full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk To: full-disclosure () lists grok org uk Subject: [Full-disclosure] 0-day "vulnerability" Sent: Oct 28, 2010 8:48 PM Sorry to rant, but I have seen this term used once too many times to sit idly by. And used today by what I once thought was a respectable infosec publication (that will remain nameless) while referring to the current Firefox vulnerability (that did, by the way, once have a 0-day sploit) Also, by definition, a 0-day no longer exists the moment it is announced ;) For once and for all: There is no such thing as a "zero-day vulnerability" (quoted), only a 0-day exploit...
