If you've heard of Privacy Engineering, you know it is rising rapidly in relevance, but in my opinion, it's not truly defined yet. It's 2020, the CCPA is in effect, and with surveillance, IoT, drones, facial and other biometric recognition, cryptocurrencies and increased regulation, it's going to be a pivotal decade for tech. Early last year, the concept of Privacy Engineering started gathering traction, entering the Gartner glossary, and being pushed by industry groups like the IAPP. It's an interesting area to understand, because it's a problem not yet fully solved, and relevant to us all.

You may not be aware, but there is a new privacy law coming in the US, and though we don’t yet know the exact form it might take, it’s impact will be deeply felt. All around the world, new laws such as the GDPR are being enacted as governments struggle to catch up with technology. In Brazil the government has passed the LGPD, in Vietnam the government has passed similar legislation, under what is referred to as the ‘Cybersecurity Law’, and in California the state legislature has passed the CCPA. Many other governments are in the midst of a similar process, having their sights set on mandating digital rights, and enforcing data sovereignty, including the US government.

I recently purchased a Pixelbook while over in the US, and I've slowly been exploring it's capabilities. I really like it as a travelling device, and I've naturally been curious about what you can set up. VSCode, Signal and other apps all seem to work in the Linux sandbox environment, and it turns out that Burp Suite does as well. Assuming you have the linux environment installed, adding Burp Suite is reasonably straight-forward.
