downloaded the sample off VT, definitely nothing 0day. maybe the binary it downloads and runs was cool?

more likely that pentesters aren't using 0day

I don't know if this user1 has any infosec knowledge or anything but it seems to me they dont actually know what an 0day is.

0day is becoming one of those terms that gets thrown around without people knowing what it really means, just yesterday I was talking to some non-techies about wannacry and nyetya and one of them thought and 0day was a backdoor and persistence mechanism.

pentesting with bespoke 0days is the kind of thing only badasses able to charge the client 10x do. We're delivering bespoke 0days to test your org. Sign here.

please ignore this means the hash of our python script isn't in virustotal

You could probably find a venture capitalist ready to invest 10 mil into this. Just change "crashes" to "disrupts", make some vague noises about monetisation strategy, and you're golden.

While there's a lot of value to "if you've got an exploit against this target, how much lateral movement do you get to non-vulnerable targets, and how quickly is the intrusion identified?", I don't see what you get by using actual 0-days rather than just, say, giving the pentesters local root on a particular box to jump off from.

i got a little grouchy with some people at work who used the phrase "published zero days" in a memo.

i needed the root password to this new public-internet-facing VM someone had set up and noticed the guy had a habit of mailing passwords in emails (there were several earlier in the email chain) so i ask him to give me the password another way that's more secure than email

he just sends it to me on slack and tells me "oh good idea suggesting we be secure and not put this in an email!" :negative:

its a good way to test realistic intrusions against your generic mitigations to see if you actually can limit the spread or other damage beyond the unknown effects of the 0day. like if they can get into a box with the exploit but then you have mitigations that prevent them from escaping the machine/container/other jail, they might be able to gently caress up whats in that container but you can prove the efficacy of your other mitigations.
