NAME

       rtmpsuck - a transparent RTMP proxy

SYNOPSIS

       rtmpsuck [-z]

DESCRIPTION

       rtmpsuck  is  a  transparent  RTMP  proxy.  It  listens  on port 1935 for RTMP sessions, but you can also
       redirect other ports to it as needed. It first performs an RTMP handshake with the client, then waits for
       the  client  to  send  a  connect  request.   It  parses and prints the connect parameters, then makes an
       outbound connection to the real RTMP server. It performs an RTMP handshake with that server, forwards the
       connect request, and from that point on it just relays packets back and forth between the two endpoints.
       It  also checks for a few packets that it treats specially: a play packet from the client will get parsed
       so that the playpath can be displayed. It also handles SWF Verification requests from the server, without
       forwarding them to the client.
       Once  the  play  command  is  processed, all subsequent audio/video data received from the server will be
       written to a file, as well as being delivered back to the client.
       The point of all this, instead of just using a  sniffer,  is  that  since  rtmpsuck  has  performed  real
       handshakes  with both the client and the server, it can negotiate whatever encryption keys are needed and
       so record the unencrypted data.

OPTIONS

       -z Debug level output. Extremely verbose.
