The term "zero-day exploits" refers to a specific kind of cyberattack that makes use of a software vulnerability that is not known either to the developer of the product or to the vendors of antivirus software. This indicates that the vendor has zero days' notice to repair the vulnerability, and that means that attackers can use it to get access to susceptible systems before the company has the opportunity to correct it. Because defenders have no means to learn about or fight against zero-day attacks until after they have been utilized, combating these types of cyberthreats is one of the most challenging aspects. As a result, zero-day attacks are extremely useful for stealing data, installing malware, or interrupting operations. This book aims to serve as a beacon for practitioners, researchers, and students who are navigating the intricate world of digital forensics and cyber security.
