Risky Business #594 -- How ESNIs will change censorship and NDR

On this week’s show Patrick and Adam discuss the week’s security news, including:

WeChat joins TikTok in the naughty corner
TLS 1.3 with ESNI will have a massive impact on censorship AND security
Belarus goes dark after dodgy election
Capital One fined $80m
Much, much more

We’ll be hearing from Dan Guido of Trail of Bits in this week’s sponsor interview. They’ve developed a generic macOS EDR package that you, dear vendor, should absolutely license from them. Dan joins us to explain why.

Links to everything that we discussed are below and you can follow Patrick or Adam on Twitter if that’s your thing.
