Zero-Day Exploits: What They Are and Why You Should Care

In cybersecurity, zero-day exploits are one of the most dangerous threats. If you work in IT or are starting to explore this world, it’s important to know what they are and how they can affect you.

What Is a Zero-Day Exploit?

A zero-day exploit is a security weakness in software or a system that even the developers don’t know about.
The term “zero-day” means there’s zero time to fix it before attackers can use it. In simple words, hackers discover and take advantage of this flaw before anyone can fix it.

A Market for Zero-Day Vulnerabilities

You might not expect it, but there’s a market for selling zero-day vulnerabilities.

On the legal side, companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook offer bug bounty programs. These programs reward people who find and report security issues.

For example, Google’s Vulnerability Reward Program pays anyone who reports a security bug in their services, like Chrome or Android. This helps Google improve security and gives ethical hackers recognition and rewards.

On the dark web instead, hackers sell these exploits to cybercriminals or groups for money.

Famous Zero-Day Exploits

Here are some real-world examples:

  • Stuxnet (2010): A malware that attacked industrial systems, causing serious damage (USA + Israel vs Iran Nuclear program).
  • Heartbleed (2014): A security flaw that exposed millions of sensitive data records (using a breach in the SSL protocol).
  • Pegasus (2021): Spyware used to track journalists and activists through their phones (it’s a mix of different exploit for mobile OSs, probably still used …) .

Why Are They So Dangerous?

  • They can’t be stopped immediately: There’s no update available until the flaw is found and fixed.
  • Huge impact: They can affect entire companies and millions of users.

How to (try to) Protect Yourself

Here are some tips to reduce the risk and the damage:

  • Keep everything updated: Software updates often include important security fixes.
  • Use modern security tools: Firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems help a lot.
  • Backup your data regularly: If something goes wrong, you won’t lose everything.
  • Stay informed: Learn about new threats and teach your team to recognize suspicious behavior.
The Heart of Scrum: People

Projects are done by people, for people. The agile philosophy emphasizes close collaboration between two key groups:

  • The project team, who builds the product.
  • The project clients, who benefit from it.

One of the most crucial roles in this collaboration is the Product Owner.

The Product Owner: A Central Role in Scrum

The Product Owner holds the responsibility for managing the product backlog and making all key decisions related to it. This role is critical for the success of the project.

What does the Product Owner do?

  1. Defines and Validates Requirements:
    • Gathers and documents user stories and epics.
    • Ensures the backlog reflects all necessary functionalities and priorities.
  2. Prioritizes the Product Backlog:
    • Decides which user stories should be built first and which can wait.
    • Adjusts priorities as the project evolves, ensuring the most valuable tasks come first.
  3. Reviews and Validates Outputs:
    • At the end of each sprint, the Product Owner checks the deliverables to ensure they meet the agreed requirements.
    • Provides constructive feedback if something doesn’t meet the expected standards.
  4. Approves the Final Product:
    • At the end of the project, the Product Owner gives the final approval, ensuring the product is ready for release.

Who Can Be a Product Owner?

Usually, the Product Owner represents the organization for which the product is being created—essentially, the project client. This person needs a strategic vision and domain expertise.

Common roles that might act as Product Owner include:

  • Head of Sales
  • Head of Marketing
  • Head of IT, etc.

The Product Owner needs to be hands-on throughout the entire project, working closely with the team, reviewing progress, and adapting to changes when necessary.

The Power to Adapt

In Agile, requirements can change. The Product Owner plays a key role in approving changes and adjusting priorities between sprints. If a high-value user story emerges, it’s the Product Owner’s job to bring it forward, ensuring the project remains focused on delivering value.

Undo unsaved changes in Git

If you did a git checkout on a branch and found conflicts or, in general, you did some changes in your local repo, you can undo everything and go back to the previous state with these steps:

git reset --hard HEAD

This command reverts everything to the state of the last commit and discards local changes, including conflicting ones.

or better

git reset --hard origin/nome-del-branch

If there are any untracked files that are causing problems, you can delete them with:

git clean -df

Just a tricky, if you want to go back to the previous branch, just do this:

git checkout -
