Zero-Day Exploits: A Critical Cybersecurity Threat
4 months agoIntroduction
Hi everyone, welcome back to our channel! Today, we're going to talk about a critical topic in cybersecurity: Zero-Day exploits. What are they, how do they work, and how can you protect yourself? Let's dive in!
**What is a Zero-Day Exploit?**
A Zero-Day exploit is a vulnerability in software or hardware that is discovered and exploited on the same day, before a patch or fix is available. This means that attackers can take advantage of the vulnerability without being detected.
**How Do Zero-Day Exploits Work?**
Zero-Day exploits typically involve exploiting a previously unknown vulnerability in software or hardware. Attackers use various techniques to identify and exploit these vulnerabilities, including fuzz testing and reverse engineering.
**Examples of Zero-Day Exploits**
- Stuxnet (2010)
- Heartbleed (2014)
- EternalBlue (2017)
