What is a Zero-Day Attack: in computing terms: A Zero-day is a vulnerability of a security hole in a computer system unknown to it’s owners, developers, or anyone capable of mitigating it. Until the vulnerability is remedied , threat actors can exploit it in a zero-day exploit, or zero-day attack. The term “zero-day” originally referred to the number days since a new piece of software was released to the public. (Wikipedia)

We took that train of thought and applied it to self defense, self reliance and the preparedness community. We think of a zero-day attack as that moment in time, when the unimaginable actually happens. You could be stopped at red light and someone tries to rip you out of your vehicle or you could be sleeping in your bed at night and a foreign country that is hostile to ours decides to detonate a high-altitude nuclear weapon which creates a High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) or our sun lets out a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME); these are just a few examples of what we consider as a zero-day attack or event. The later two would very likely take out the power grid and all the benefits we take for granted in modern society. If you’ve ever experienced a power outage for a few hours or a few days you already know it is difficult to live in the context we are use to living in. Now imagine that period of time being extended weeks, months, or maybe even years. Think of desperation and chaos that would follow such an event. The collapse of societal norms and lawlessness that would ensue.

Here in the United States we have the second amendment that gives us the right to keep and bear arms. Many Americans exercise said right. We keep those weapons to train with, hunt with, protect ourselves and our families with, and God forbid the defense of our community and nation. On those weapons most of us have attached equipment and accessories like electro-optics, red dots, lights, and lasers. These additions to our weapons greatly enhance the capabilities of our weapons system. We have trained with these weapon systems and that is what we will grab should the need arise.
Well, if a EMP attack or a CME occurs, there is good chance that some or all of your equipment and accessories will not be operable. Anything that has electronics in it could be rendered useless in milliseconds.

Let’s go back to the two previous scenarios, in the absence of a lawful orderly society, are you going to need those weapons to be fully functional? I would venture to guess the answer is without a doubt going to be, YES! Your security is going to fall just beneath water, food, and shelter.

Our goal at ZERO-DAY DEFENSE, is to provide you with some peace of mind, that your weapon system(s) are ready when the chips are down.

EMP and GMD (ElectroMagnetic Pulse / Geomagnetic Disturbance) is a very real threat to the power grid and all the necessities that modern society enjoys. An EMP attack or GMD could destroy optics that have been enhanced with electronics, weapon lights, laser aiming devices, night vision, and thermal devices.

If you are like us and spend a lot of time and money on your gear, you will want to invest in protecting your equipment. You will NEED your weapon to work as intended to protect you and your family. In the event of a worst case scenario we offer a solution to protect your weapons that are meant to protect you.

Introducing the ZERO DAY DEFENSE EMP Rifle bag RB-1 and RB-2, Pistol bag PB-1, Scope bag SB-1 and SB-2, Helmet bag HB-1, Red dot bag RD-1.

ZERO DAY DEFENSE bags are designed to accommodate rifles and pistols with electronic scopes, red dots, flash lights, IR and laser Aiming devices, Night vision devices, and thermal devices.

Simply put a complete rifle or pistol in the bag, roll the bag closed and seal it with the Velcro strip. Simple and Easy Protection for your rifle, pistol, and accessories.

The ZERO DAY DEFENSE EMP bags are designed to provide a level of EMP protection without the bulk. You can protect your rifles, pistols, and accessories while still fitting them in your safe or an existing rifle or pistol case you already own.

Our EMP Bags are made from a double layer of Premium Faraday fabric that is a Nickel and Copper and Polyester blend. The shielding range is from 10kHz to 30 GHz per layer, each bag is double layered and double stitched. The Faraday fabric has been carefully selected to be soft to the touch and it will form well around almost any rifle or pistol setup you have, which makes it easy to place in your gun safe or any gun case or bag you already have. Our rifle bags are lined at the closed end of the bag to lessen the wear to the fabric and prevent puncturing by some aggressive muzzle devices. Our Pistol bags, Scope bags, Red dot bags are lined with a high quality felt to protect the contents of the bags. Every bag has a double fold hook and loop closure that is made with a Velcro brand hook and loop that is less aggressive, for ease of opening, but still provides an ample amount of strength for the intended purpose.

Our bags a locally manufactured in the United States by a Veteran owned and operated small business. We have a strong commitment to our customers and to the products we produce.

A Faraday cage, named after the scientist Michael Faraday who discovered its principles, is designed to block electromagnetic fields. It works by creating a conductive enclosure that redirects electromagnetic energy around the inside of the cage, thus preventing it from reaching anything inside. This enclosure is typically made of a conductive material like copper or aluminum.

When an external electromagnetic field, such as radio waves or static electricity, encounters a Faraday cage, the free electrons in the conductive material of the cage redistribute themselves to cancel out the field's effects inside the cage. This redistribution effectively neutralizes the electromagnetic field within the cage, protecting anything inside from its influence.

Faraday cages are commonly used in various applications, including protecting sensitive electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI), preventing electronic eavesdropping, and shielding sensitive experiments from external electromagnetic influences. They are also used in some buildings to create secure areas where wireless signals cannot penetrate, enhancing security for sensitive information.

Understanding the risks associated with an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) event involves recognizing its potential impacts on critical infrastructure, electronic systems, and society as a whole. Here are some key aspects to consider:

1. **Infrastructure Disruption**: An EMP can disrupt or damage electrical and electronic infrastructure, including power grids, telecommunications networks, transportation systems, and water treatment facilities. This can result in widespread power outages, communication failures, transportation disruptions, and challenges in accessing essential services.

2. **Economic Impact**: The disruption of critical infrastructure and loss of functionality in electronic systems can have significant economic consequences. Industries reliant on electricity and electronic technology may experience production delays, supply chain disruptions, and financial losses. The cost of repairing and replacing damaged infrastructure can also be substantial.

3. **Social Disruption**: The societal impacts of an EMP event can be profound, affecting public safety, healthcare delivery, and community resilience. Disruptions to power and communication systems can hinder emergency response efforts, limit access to medical care and supplies, and exacerbate social unrest or civil disturbances.

4. **National Security Concerns**: EMP events have the potential to pose significant national security risks, particularly if they result from intentional acts of aggression or terrorism. An EMP attack targeted at critical infrastructure or military systems could disrupt essential services, compromise defense capabilities, and undermine national security.

5. **Long-Term Consequences**: Depending on the scale and severity of the EMP event, its effects may persist for an extended period, requiring prolonged recovery and reconstruction efforts. Restoring damaged infrastructure, replacing equipment, and mitigating secondary impacts such as food and water shortages can take months or even years to address fully.

6. **Vulnerability of Electronics**: EMPs can damage or destroy electronic devices and systems by inducing high voltage surges or disrupting electronic circuits. This vulnerability extends to a wide range of devices, including consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and critical military systems.

7. **Cascading Effects**: The impacts of an EMP event can propagate through interconnected systems, leading to cascading failures and compounding disruptions. For example, a power grid failure resulting from an EMP could trigger failures in other critical infrastructure sectors, amplifying the overall impact on society.

It's essential to recognize that the specific risks associated with an EMP event can vary depending on factors such as the source and intensity of the EMP, the resilience of affected infrastructure, and the preparedness and response capabilities of affected organizations and communities. Mitigating these risks requires comprehensive planning, investment in resilient infrastructure, and coordination among government agencies, private sector stakeholders, and the public.
