zero day attack,also known as zero hour attack,takes advantages of computer vulnerabilities that do not currently have a solution.typically a software company will discover a bug or problem with a piece of software after it has been released and then offer a patch of software meant to fix the original issue.
a zero day attack will take advantage of that problem before the patch has been created.
it is name zero day because it occurs before the first day the vulnerability is known.
