I've always understood it to mean : time/version since the software is vulnerable. 0 day ,from first release of the software, meaning all versions are vulnerable.
Which was/is more relevant when commercial software is updated at most once ever year or two
But it appears no one can agree anymore, making the term useless.
- varenc 6y agoHold the line! Let's make the term useful. An 0-day is an 0-day before public disclosure and for 24 hours after.
- fattire 6y agoAt one point in history a "0day" referred to a pirated release of software on/before it hit the shelves (and/or the crack that was released simultaneous to protected software aka "warez"). It was years later that a "0day" went from a copy protection removal/crack ("0day warez") to its more general modern usage in computer security.
