- Used Wireshark to capture live TV stream traffic by filtering source IP.
- Noticed live stream starts a new TCP connection every ~10 seconds.
- Extracted data from payloads of each TCP stream using tcpflow.
- Saved PCAP file and ran tcpflow to create files for each TCP stream.
- Played back the video using mpv, which showed a Formula1 podium ceremony.
- Highlighted the importance of encryption as unencrypted traffic can be captured similarly.
