[dweebo]

i am a n00b , rookie, ect... but i still dont know what it is lol i seen it alot on demonoid

[Polarbear]

it basically refers to the date of the warez, which means they are released on the same day or even earlier as the originals.

it's also widely used to describe trackers that focus on scene releases.

[LinkS v2.0]

Used by software pirates to describe material (software, music, movies) released the same day it hits stores

:) 0day can also mean an attack or exploit which is something completely different.

it does mean that but it isn't completely different.

every single scene rls and other type of rlses like foreign scenes, japanese networks, exploits, and so on have a pre time. this is the time in seconds from when it was first on the net. if you download something with a pre time of 10 seconds the first time it appeared on the net was 10 seconds ago.

0day means 24 hours. the term comes from racing sites in the past that had a 24 hour time frame. if the pre time was past 24 hours it was not allowed to be uploaded on the ftp. currently today just about any site with a 24 hour max is a dump site. (opinion not fact)

most 0day trackers are not really 0day. they sometimes rarely upp rlses older then 24 hours from pre.


hopefully all i've said makes sense. :rolleyes:

[dweebo]

thats crystal clear now. opened up whole new spectrum! lol i see the light. but why do they call it 0day? instead of zeroday lol jk

i was talking about zero-day attacks and exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities. it's an computer security issue and has nothing to do with warez :D

[DanielleD87]

yes it does. 0day refers to the time it has been around on the net. 0day is less than 24 hours from hitting the net. exploits are the same way. warez or not 0day can be used as a very broad term.

[AkaiDoresu]

but in torrent terminology it has different meaning in terms of its practical application.

0day packs are basically apps, patches, sometimes cracks, there are never 0day pack with movies or other stuff.

[t0mmy]

yeah true, i was always unsure of what 0day meant, my understanding was that it was the pre-release stuff of like warez
