- bawolff 6y agoThe article specificly says the issue was in code that used to be in tails and isnt anymore. Additionally, the motherboard article describes the payload as a video file uploaded to dropbox, which doesnt sound like webrtc.
- mirimir 6y agoYes, I doubt that it's WebRTC. Or at least, I recall similar vulnerabilities in video player code that predated WebRTC. There used to be a Metasploit leak-testing site (Metasploit Decloaking Engine) which checked for IP leaks via video, PDFs, etc. And it included an early version of the NIT that the FBI has used since ~2011.[0] 0) https://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/43442/cyber-crime/fbi-used-nit-against-pedo.html https://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/43442/cyber-crime/fbi-u...
- marci 6y agoI wasn't saying that's how it happened (regarding the article). It was to expand on: > and tails uses tor browser which doesn't support webrtc. and how (in other instances than the situation in the article) the WebRTC flaw could be used. I wasn't specific enough.
