Really? You wrote custom crypto for this? Or do you use an SSL connection?

I wouldn't have thought to ask that. My original concern was: how do you assure someone like me that an attacker can't redirect files to other locations?

The protection against redirection is inherent in the underlying peer-to-peer media streaming technology we built on top of (RTMFP), as is the crypto. Going off your profile you seem to be a security researcher type. Would love to discuss things further with you offband. Feel free to email me directly, email is in my profile.

I don't believe that your email is there. I may take a whack at it later this week (we're launching a product and I'm pretty busy, but I do love me some custom crypto protocol.)

Please, please, please share your findings :) Your blog is the sad little feed in my Google Reader list that never gets any love, and, while I appreciate that you're getting shit done instead of entertaining the unwashed masses such as myself, I think this could be a great article. So again, please :)
