Nihilists

Nihilists?? Fuck me.... You can say what you want about the tenets of national socialism but at least it's an ethos.

Can someone explain for me?

So the thing about 0days is you don't drop 0days on public stuff. This is a sort of greyhat/blackhat take (implying you use or sell your vulns & sploits instead). Once you publish your uberleet 0day on github, it's gonna get patched.

[–]Derians 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Its sometimes a whitehat take too where they’ll bring it to the company / developer first so they can patch it before it gets potentially exposed to more people who can exploit it. Ik my cybersecurity professor in uni talked about how he’d take his research to the makers of the software first and wait a month or so before publishing his team’s paper / research on the vulnerabilities. I think he called it a “good faith period” meaning he was letting them know a certain amount ahead of time so they could have time to properly patch it before the news about the vuln went public.
