This piece will repay your attention. It is the first open-literature
discussion of the market for 'exploits' and who is selling what to
whom for how much that I have seen.
An 'exploit' is a piece of software that can be used by its developer
or a purchaser to penetrate a computer that is using software that has
a 'vulnerability', i.e., a design defect, that can be exploited to do
so.
The largest market---governments are among the customers in it--is for
Internet Explorer exploits, but the one for Chrome exploits is
growing.
There is no discussion of z/OS exploits, but I do not find this
reassuring. Our turn will certainly come.
