RTMP
Real-Time Messaging Protocol, originally designed by Macromedia for audio and video transmission between Flash Player and servers. It operates by default on TCP port 1935 and remains a core transport protocol widely used in live-streaming ingest scenarios.

This hijacking experiment redirects the PS5's RTMP connection to a self-built RTMP receiving server by controlling DNS resolution or routing on the local network.
Developer Yash Garg published a technical article documenting how to intercept and redirect RTMP streams sent by a PS5 to a server under his own control.
The RTMP protocol was originally designed by Macromedia (later acquired by Adobe) for audio and video transmission between Flash Player and servers.
RTMP runs on TCP port 1935 by default, relying on TCP's reliable transmission to ensure audio and video data arrives in order.
RTMP splits data into fixed-size chunks, each carrying metadata such as timestamps and stream IDs.
RTMPS is essentially RTMP traffic wrapped in TLS, analogous to the relationship between HTTPS and HTTP.
The receiving ends of mainstream platforms such as Twitch and YouTube support both RTMP (port 1935) and RTMPS (port 443).
The PS5 does not perform strong server identity verification when establishing an RTMP connection, which is the prerequisite for the hijacking to be possible.
The EdgeOS Desktop system supports WiFi streaming and network camera functionality, and is compatible with streaming media protocols such as RTSP and RTMP.
