THE big guys kick into the arena of 0-days exploits and flex their muscles: the 0-days  business is consolidating. The barriers to entry for the 0-days business are pretty simple, the 0-days business is very simple itself, its ROI is clear and absurdly significant. In order to quickly become a tier-1 0-days maker you just need a very large number of engineers, some very expensive hardware and a sure acquirer. Today, the best, surest 0-days acquirer is the NSA, in truth a really insatiable one. Today, the largest 0-days producers are US companies, possibly large US defense contractors, selling their stuff directly and possibly exclusively to the NSA.Please note: this phenomenon — the quick consolidation of simple, easy barriers to entry IT technology markets —  has always happened in the past with any IT technology. Just think of authentications tokens and data clouds."On Florida’s Atlantic coast, cyber arms makers working for U.S. spy agencies are bombarding billions of lines of computer code with random data that can expose software flaws the U.S. might exploit.” [it’s fuzzing]"Across the U.S., a new league of defense contractors is mining the foundation of the Internet for glitches that can be turned to the country’s strategic advantage. "“ “We’re in an arms race,” said Chase Cunningham, the National Security Agency’s former chief cryptologic technician. The competition to find exploitable bugs before an enemy does is as intense as “the space race and the Cold War combined.” ""As conventional military spending has been cut back and funding for cyber operations ramped up, Lockheed Martin Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp. and others better known for jets and tanks are retooling for a new generation of armaments."Please find a good, comprehensive article from yesterday’s Bloomberg, also available at http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-02/us-contractors-scale-up-search-for-heartbleed-like-flaws.html , FYI,DavidUS Contractors Scale Up Search for Heartbleed-Like Flaws By Jordan Robertson and Michael Riley 2014-05-02 | T04:01:00Z Siege Technologies CEO Jason Syversen Scott Eisen/Bloomberg
