Ignite Realtime News

In January 2007, Ignite Realtime launched the red5 plugin for Openfire, introducing flash-based media server capabilities. Over time, #WebRTC became the standard for audio and video conferencing. Ignite's work evolved into various plugins supporting diverse media use cases.

#XMPP is regaining popularity, with Openfire leading due to its flexibility.
For our audio/video functionality, we have refocused on enhancing media interoperability in XMPP. More info in our blog: discourse.igniterealtime.org/t

Ignite Realtime Community Forums · WebRTC based audio and video in Openfire 2025In January 2007, Ignite Realtime released the red5 plugin for Openfire which added the flash based open source Red5 media server as a plugin to Openfire (Wildfire). A year later, we added red5Phone, the first open source SIP based soft phone in a web browser. Eighteen years later, WebRTC is now well established as the leading standard for audio and video conferencing and all that leading edge pioneer work here at Ignite evolved into Pàdé the web client, it’s supporting Openfire plugin and other...

How robots talk: building distributed robots with gRPC and WebRTC.

grpc.io/blog/robotics/

gRPC · How robots talk: building distributed robots with gRPC and WebRTCIf you’re building any kind of distributed machine, like robots, drones, or IoT devices, two questions come up fast: How do you send structured commands and data efficiently? How do you keep communication resilient when you have an unreliable network? In this article, I’ll share the approach we use at Viam, an open-source robotics platform that combines gRPC for structured RPCs and WebRTC for peer-to-peer streaming. Even if you’re not building robots, the same architectural ideas can help you design more scalable and adaptable systems.

What a nice surprise trying a #selfhosted instance of #MiroTalk SFU and finding how well it works.

MiroTalk is a Web-based videoconference system such as #Zoom, #Teams, or #Jitsi that I had not heard about until a couple of days ago. It seems to be based on #mediasoup to perform #WebRTC based SFU videoconferencing.

Its deployment is significantly simpler than Jitsi and it arguably seems to work better. It even has additional features like video recording and file sharing.

@mray @cwebber would love to know as well.

For people not in the know, @librecast is a R&D initiative that's innovating the internet stack with support of @NGIZero and @nlnet

First, to enable #multicast on the unicast internet an overlay network is planned, based on #WebRTC. See:

librecast.net/librecast-strate

#Librecast LIVE will bring all the technology together, to demonstrate and be a reference implementation. With #ActivityPub support being planned. See:

@zwol my favourite hack in this space is how #WebRTC demultiplexes the 3.5 protocols (ICE SRTP/SRTCP and DTLS) that all arrive on the same port.

datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/

Read it and weep.

tl;dr switch on the first byte of the packet.

(Although tbh I've never seen anything bad happen as a result.)

IETF DatatrackerRFC 5764: Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Extension to Establish Keys for the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP)This document describes a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) extension to establish keys for Secure RTP (SRTP) and Secure RTP Control Protocol (SRTCP) flows. DTLS keying happens on the media path, independent of any out-of-band signalling channel present. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

So, dann schauen wir mal, ob Europa in der Lage ist, die DS-GVO anzuwenden und die Verantwortlichen der irischen Datenschutzkommission (Data Protection Commission, DPC) die cojones haben, Meta mit der Höchststrafe für Datenschutzverstöße zu beglücken.

Both #Yandex and #Meta used obfuscation techniques to hide that the traffic occured and/or that the apps were listening to these requests:

➡️ Meta traffic was using #WebRTC, which does not show up in the browser's developer tools
➡️ Yandex traffic looked non-local
➡️ Yandex apps started listening only after several days

BTW: Apparently, Meta stopped doing this yesterday. But they probably still have the mapping DB.
All the details by the researchers here.

Staggering how far #Meta will go to de-anonymise users.

I was actually surprised it took so long because this is not a new loophole. We discussed this issue almost 10 years ago in a different context: #WebRTC allows to circumvent the secure origin policy.

I made a PoC back then

lgrahl.de/examples/dc/webrtc-c

which still works to this day. It is also hard to prevent because the PoC doesn't do anything that is forbidden. It leverages a currently essential part of the STUN protocol.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in for making an effort to remove all user-controllable input, but now we might see shortcuts being taken to get things fixed quickly, potentially destroying a bunch of nice and niche use cases along the way.
