Presented at THOTCON 0x6 (2015), May 14, 2015, 1 p.m. (50 minutes)

We conducted research into how quickly vulnerabilities are turned into detected exploits and and categorized the results by products and technologies. We used 188 vulnerability/exploit pairs as our dataset, based on Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) information culled from the open web.
