In this episode of Secure by Design, we dive deep into the shadowy world of vulnerability discovery and exploitation. From zero-days to n-days, bug bounty programs to advanced persistent threats, we unpack how security researchers, red teamers, and adversaries find flaws in software—and how those flaws are weaponized.
You’ll learn:
The lifecycle of a vulnerability—from discovery to public disclosure or underground sale.
Techniques used to uncover bugs (fuzzing, reverse engineering, source code review, etc.
Real-world stories of critical CVEs and how they were exploited
The difference between ethical disclosure and weaponization
How organizations can detect, respond to, and stay ahead of exploitation attempts
Whether you're a security professional, developer, or tech enthusiast, this episode offers a front-row seat to the high-stakes hunt for vulnerabilities that shape our digital security landscape.
