About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Closed Zero-Day Market Offers Targeted Exploits for WhatsApp, Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux

By: Zexprwire

New York, US, 5th July 2025, ZEX PR WIREA growing number of cybersecurity professionals are tracking a quiet but structured emergence of closed-access platforms offering highly targeted 0day vulnerabilities. One such site, 0dayvulnerabilities.com, claims to maintain a private repository of exploits focused on high-value systems, including mobile communication apps, operating systems, and enterprise-grade platforms.

Recent threat intelligence chatter suggests that custom payloads are now being privately offered for sale in categories previously considered difficult to obtain — including mobile messaging platforms and Unix-based systems. While the market for Android and Windows exploits has been active for years, the inclusion of more specialized offerings marks a shift toward tailored offensive capabilities.

Sources indicate that interest is especially high in tools to buy WhatsApp vulnerabilities, often targeting encrypted communication flows or remote execution vectors through media parsing. Several underground groups have reportedly leveraged such payloads to conduct targeted surveillance or obtain persistent access to mobile devices without alerting users or triggering detection tools.

Similarly, the ability to buy Android vulnerabilities in private settings — especially those that enable privilege escalation or bypass of Secure Boot — is drawing attention from actors involved in both offensive research and counterintelligence operations. Analysts suggest that APT-grade Android exploits are now being sold with infrastructure-ready components, reducing setup time for attack deployment.

Beyond mobile, the platform also appears to support offerings related to macOS, long viewed as a less common but increasingly attractive target. The option to buy MacOS vulnerabilities — especially those with kernel-level access or sandbox escape — presents new risks for organizations with mixed-device environments.

Meanwhile, security experts tracking mobile threat vectors have also observed growing demand for anyone attempting to buy iOS zero day vulnerability. Due to Apple’s closed ecosystem and rapid patch cycles, private iOS exploits are among the most expensive and rarest in circulation. The inclusion of these on the platform could signal access to exploits previously seen only in government-level operations.

Finally, Linux systems — often considered hardened and community-reviewed — are no longer immune to targeted intrusion. The ability to buy Linux vulnerabilities, particularly in container environments or remote daemon access, has started to emerge as a concern for enterprise defenders and DevSecOps teams. These exploits, when used effectively, can compromise critical infrastructure or cloud workloads without relying on phishing or user interaction.

At the time of writing, the claims made by 0dayvulnerabilities.com remain unverified, but the platform’s structure, language, and observed presence in deep-web threat forums suggest a serious operational model rather than marketplace noise.
