Puntos clave

This research aims to understand the duration and prevalence of zero-day attacks and their implications for cybersecurity.
Review of available literature on zero-day attacks
Analysis of incident reports post-attack
Examination of limitations in current detection methods.
Zero-day attacks are challenging to analyze due to their rare occurrence.
The actual duration of these attacks varies significantly but often remains unidentified.
Existing detection methods fail to capture sufficient data until after the attacks are performed.

Resumen

Little is known about the duration and prevalence of zero-day attacks, which exploit vulnerabilities that have not been disclosed publicly. Knowledge of new vulnerabilities gives cyber criminals a free pass to attack any target of their choosing, while remaining undetected. Unfortunately, these serious threats are difficult to analyze, because, in general, data is not available until after an attack is discovered. Moreover, zero-day attacks are rare events that are unlikely to be observed in honeypots or in lab experiments.
