ZERO DAY SYNDICATE - INTERNAL COMPANY HISTORY
|
||||
WhiteHat Security Services (Founded 2010)
|
||||
For Internal Use Only
|
||||
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
||||
|
||||
FOUNDING PHILOSOPHY (Victoria Sterling, CEO):
|
||||
|
||||
"The traditional security industry operates on a flawed
|
||||
model: discover vulnerabilities, report them, wait for
|
||||
patches. This creates a power imbalance. Vendors control
|
||||
the timeline. Researchers are underpaid.
|
||||
|
||||
We recognized a market inefficiency. Vulnerabilities have
|
||||
inherent value. Why give that value away?
|
||||
|
||||
WhiteHat Security provides legitimate penetration testing
|
||||
services to maintain our business facade. But our true
|
||||
revenue stream: the Zero Day marketplace.
|
||||
|
||||
We discover. We price according to market demand. We sell
|
||||
to interested parties. What they do with our research isn't
|
||||
our concern—we're security professionals, not moralists.
|
||||
|
||||
Think of us as liquidity providers for the vulnerability
|
||||
market. Every system tends toward disorder. We simply
|
||||
monetize that entropy."
|
||||
|
||||
REVENUE MODEL:
|
||||
- Front business: $2.3M/year (pen testing services)
|
||||
- Zero Day sales: $18.7M/year (exploit marketplace)
|
||||
- Sector premiums: Healthcare +30%, Energy +40%, Finance +25%
|
||||
|
||||
MOTTO: "Security Through Economics"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Notes
|
||||
|
||||
**Narrative Function:**
|
||||
- Establishes Victoria Sterling's "free market" rationalization
|
||||
- Shows dual business model (legitimate facade + criminal operations)
|
||||
- Introduces "monetize entropy" philosophy (connects to ENTROPY mythology)
|
||||
- Reveals revenue comparison (criminal operations 8x more profitable)
|
||||
|
||||
**Voice:** Corporate-professional with ideological underpinning, Victoria's economic rationalization
|
||||
|
||||
**Player Value:**
|
||||
- Understand Zero Day's business model
|
||||
- See Victoria's philosophy in her own words
|
||||
- Recognize the calculated nature of their operation (not chaotic criminals)
|
||||
- Historical context for WhiteHat Security's founding
|
||||
|
||||
**Evidence Quality:** Background document (not direct evidence of specific harm, but establishes premeditation)
|
||||
|
||||
**Variable on Discovery:** `found_zero_day_history = true`
|
||||
|
||||
**Debrief Acknowledgment:**
|
||||
```ink
|
||||
{found_zero_day_history:
|
||||
Agent 0x99: You found Zero Day's founding document.
|
||||
Agent 0x99: "Monetize entropy." They turned suffering into a business model.
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
