hidden encrypted VeraCrypt volume

Any random data on a partition is a suspected holder of hidden volumes. Even in cases where there are no hidden volumes, enjoy trying to convince border police of that while they're holding you indefinitely. This is just a friendly reminder that random data and plausible deniability do not mix. Holding random data can be a major risk if that is all you have and no ability to prove otherwise. Depending on who you are and where you're traveling, transparency may be the safest option.

It was hardly a "simple courtesy". It represented a massive and unnecessary potential compatibility break. It also made no sense and is probably the dumbest thing I've encountered in my 20 years of programming. It also sets a really bad precedent for the future. We are allowing political activists to alter established terminology in our discipline for insane reasons. What other eruptive changes will be forced on us in the future when the next political wave happens? Are you really this eager to submit control of your nomenclature to any short-lived political movement? Sorry, but that is just pathetic and weak.

It seems to be as straight forward as presenting the SNI and Host header of the malicious target domain while making a connection to a CDN edge node fronting the malicious service. While they do go into a few closely related scenarios describing how to bypass or fool detection methods based on domain name blacklists, that seems to be the essence of it. The technique essentially amounts to (1) performing a domain name lookup to a benign service hosted behind a CDN, then (2) making a connection to the resolved IP address with your own malicious domain name as SNI and Host header in order to direct traffic to this backend rather than to that of the benign service. But they want to sell security products and services so I suppose this warranted its own website.
