The clock starts when a 0-day surfaces. How long before attackers strike?

Attackers often exploit new vulnerabilities before defenders can react, sometimes before the vulnerability even gets a public ID (a CVE).
Ethiack Zero is a live tracker of that race between attackers and defenders.

Zero is Ethiack’s public record of emerging 0-days. It turns early signals and patches into a working proof of exploit, then publishes how fast it validates each vulnerability (time-to-validateTime-to-Validate: how long it takes Zero to confirm a signal is exploitable, from first ingestion.) next to how fast attackers exploited it (time-to-exploitTime-to-Exploit: how long after public disclosure attackers take to exploit a vulnerability in the wild.).

Vulnerability Time-to-validate (TTVTime-to-Validate: how long it takes Zero to confirm a signal is exploitable, from first ingestion.)live
How fast Ethiack Zero proves a vulnerability is exploitable. The curve shows how many were confirmed at each point in time; a dot is one still validating or waiting for its CVE. The further left, the earlier it was confirmed. The centre line is the moment the vulnerability was fully disclosed on cve.org.
