Navy openly solicits for 0-day bugs to weaponize

[Read the post]

Having read the solicitation, its pretty clear this was as much about N-days (N<180) and CVE->exploit conversion, and the intent was for the red team to simulate attackers on the Navy’s own network, not for tools to attack others.

It was also specifically a small business solicitation, so something smaller than the typical defense contractors who are responsible for the bulk of the toys in the spys’ toolkit.
