RTP Security

Comprehensive analysis of Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) security vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and defense strategies for VoIP and streaming media systems.

RTP Security Overview

Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is a critical component of VoIP and multimedia streaming systems. Understanding RTP security vulnerabilities is essential for protecting real-time communications from various attack vectors including media stream manipulation, packet injection, and quality degradation attacks.

RTP security analysis focuses on identifying weaknesses in real-time transport protocol implementations, media stream protection mechanisms, and VoIP security controls that can be exploited by attackers.

Common RTP Attack Vectors

Key RTP Security Threats

  • RTP stream injection and media manipulation attacks
  • Real-time transport protocol packet sniffing and eavesdropping
  • RTP quality degradation and denial of service attacks
  • VoIP security bypass through RTP protocol vulnerabilities
  • Media stream redirection and man-in-the-middle attacks

RTP Security Testing Methodology

Effective RTP security testing involves comprehensive analysis of real-time transport protocol implementations, media stream security controls, and VoIP infrastructure components. Our RTP security assessment methodology covers vulnerability identification, exploit development, and mitigation strategies.
