Summary

What drives a person to find and withhold a vulnerability that could cripple global systems? This episode analyzes the psychological profile of the Zero Day researcher, exploring the motivations of ego, profit, and the thrill of absolute power over a system. We examine the ethical "grey zone" and the cognitive dissonance required to leave the world vulnerable for the sake of an exploit.
