Format: 528 pages, Hardcover

From The New York Times cybersecurity reporter Nicole Perlroth, the untold story of the cyberweapon…

"Finding a zero day is a little like entering God mode in a video game.

Zero day exploitation is the most direct application of the cliche 'knowledge is power if you know how to use it."
