Ripping Media Off Of the Wire

The proprietary protocol developed by Adobe Systems for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, the ëReal Time Messaging Protocol- (RTMP) and the proprietary protocol created by Macromedia used for streaming video and DRM, -Encrypted Real Time Messaging Protocol- (RTMPE) implementations for MySpace use security through obscurity and actually provide zero security.

This talk will describe methods and demonstrate how to download media from MySpace directly and convert the media into MP3s, breaking the DRM by manipulating the RTMP/RTMPE protocol implementation.

Additionally, the talk will describe methods and demonstrate how to download media from YouTube directly and convert the media into MP3s, without using online third parties for conversions, by manipulating parameters in URLs.
