What they own
- the agency sources in the evidence vault
- the NCSC-NL inventory's export
The rules they work by
- What an agency does not say is a finding.
- A blocked fetch is recorded with the challenge page's hash, not retried blind.
The mistake behind the rules. Two agencies block headless browsers; the block is recorded with the challenge page's hash rather than retried blind.
