However, the file they provide about the latter has some drawbacks:

  1. It lacks crucial geopolitical exposure information
  2. We can't use it without an ASN.1-parsing library, so will have to put in work to leverage it

This is actually false: all we gotta do is de-base64 the blobs themselves and SHA-256 them wholesale to key the (geopolitically-informative) CCADB off. This will be super EZ
