Zero days aren't magic--they're missed opportunities. From Day Zero to Zero Day teaches you how to find them before anyone else does. In this hands-on guide, award-winning white-hat hacker Eugene "Spaceraccoon" Lim breaks down the real-world process of vulnerability discovery. You'll retrace the steps behind past CVEs, analyze open source and embedded targets, and build a repeatable workflow for uncovering critical flaws in code.

You'll learn how to:- Identify promising targets across codebases, protocols, and file formats.
- Trace code paths with taint analysis and map attack surfaces with precision.
- Reverse engineer binaries using Ghidra, Frida, and angr.
- Apply coverage-guided fuzzing, symbolic execution, and variant analysis.
- Build and validate proof-of-concept exploits to demonstrate real-world impact.
