This document discusses zero-day vulnerabilities and the zero-day market. It describes what a zero-day is, how they are obtained and traded, various players in the zero-day industry, and programs that pay for the discovery and disclosure of zero-days. The document also notes that many security companies acquire startups to expand their solutions, and while companies invest in security, common issues still exist like weak passwords and misconfigurations.

- 3. infosec ≠ satpam ‣ current trends: identity thefts, botnet, mobile communication hacking, 0-day vulnerabilities, corporate espionage, wiretapping
- 4. industry status ‣ big security companies acquire small start-up or spin-off companies to offer more solutions ‣ "palugada" propaganda
- 9. software development ‣ cheap software development? outsource to india or china!
- 10. security investment ‣ companies bought a lot of security devices or applications ‣ firewall, anti virus, spam and content filtering, ids, ips, patch management, etc.
- 11. common issues ‣ companies do not have enough resources. ‣ vendors re-introducing: ‣ weak and easy guessed passwords ‣ clear-text protocols ‣ misconfigurations
- 12. ‣ information security ‣ 0-day vulnerabilities
- 13. ‣ 0-day, pronounce zero-day, sometimes oh day, means new. ‣ the term has it's origin in the warez scene, but has become firmly entrenched in the exploit trading scene.
- 14. ‣ 0-day is used to refer to exploits, software, media or vulnerability information released today and those that have not yet released.
