Penetration testing exposes WebRTC security vulnerabilities, preventing their abuse and ensuring compliance with regulations.

Testing your WebRTC environment

Working with Enable Security, you will benefit from proven pentest techniques and proprietary tools to identify security vulnerabilities in your WebRTC infrastructure. With a detailed analysis report in hand, you’ll know exactly what specific security threats require your attention and get actionable recommendations to secure your system.

Regular WebRTC penetration testing reveals potential vulnerabilities in your network before attackers can exploit them. Our comprehensive security audits analyze WebRTC server configurations and identify emerging threats, helping you stay ahead of malicious actors who continuously discover new attack vectors.

We offer coverage of:

  • Signaling, whether it be a custom protocol or based on a standard such as SIP
  • Websocket and web server security
  • WebRTC communications protocols such as SRTP-DTLS
  • TURN servers
  • Existent security measures such as rate limiting

With our WebRTC penetration testing services, you’ll benefit from decades of expertise in testing, analyzing, and identifying ways to secure your WebRTC system against potential threats.

Our Methodology

Our team at Enable Security makes use of mature methodologies to detect vulnerabilities in your WebRTC infrastructure before attackers can exploit them.

We begin our process with preliminary discussions to understand your network architecture, define the project scope, and establish a testing schedule. This ensures we fully understand your requirements and provide a tailored solution that meets your needs.

During the WebRTC penetration test itself, our team sets up a testing environment, explores your system’s features and functionality, and performs security tests specific to each feature or component.

Apart from simulating real-world attack scenarios, we also conduct fuzzing exercises to identify vulnerabilities that are easy to miss. When within scope, we also simulate DDoS attacks using custom-built scenarios to test your defenses.

Some of our standard security tests include:

Authentication

  1. Signaling authentication tests
  2. WebSocket authentication tests
  3. TURN server authentication tests
  4. SRTP authentication tests
  5. TLS version security checks
  6. Cipher-Suite security analysis
  7. Show 3 more

Media and RTP security tests

  1. TURN relay abuse tests
  2. DTLS certificate analysis
  3. DTLS Crypto-Suite analysis
  4. SRTP security tests
  5. RTP injection
  6. RTP bleed
  7. RTP flooding
  8. RTP packet fuzzing
  9. Codec fuzzing
  10. Codec enumeration
  11. Show 7 more

Resilience testing

  1. Signalling black box fuzzing
  2. Signaling denial of service testing
  3. API flooding
  4. RTP packet fuzzing
  5. Codec fuzzing
  6. Show 2 more

Signaling protocol-specific tests

  1. SIP security tests when using SIP over WebSocket
  2. Injection security tests
  3. API security tests where applicable

After the pentest, we provide a comprehensive technical report that details our findings and recommendations. We also offer an executive summary to help non-technical stakeholders understand the results. Our team is always available for follow-up calls to discuss the report and provide guidance on implementing solutions.

We offer a generous retest period to ensure you’re protected in the long term. During this time, our team will verify that security fixes are effective and often provide access to our Continuous Security Testing platform with self-serving tests specific to your system. You can then opt to subscribe to this service after the trial period.

What is WebRTC Penetration Testing?

As WebRTC is the industry standard, web browsers now handle complex real-time communications beyond traditional web page requests.

WebRTC pentesting looks specifically at those areas that are particular to WebRTC security. It is a specialized type of security assessment that aims to identify potential system weaknesses or vulnerabilities in WebRTC signalling servers, media servers, TURN servers and API endpoints. It may also include assessing client-side applications running in web browsers, mobile and desktop applications that make use of the WebRTC communications protocols. While traditional pentesting covers web servers, applications, and APIs, a WebRTC pentest examines a broader, specialized attack surface unique to real-time communications.

WebRTC pentesting examines both traditional web applications and identifies security concerns specific to the WebRTC ecosystem. Security audits that focus on WebRTC security need to cover critical topics such as datagram transport layer security (DTLS), secure realtime protocol (SRTP), encryption protocols and other issues that are pertinent to real-time communications security.

Users quickly abandon unreliable WebRTC platforms in favor of more stable communication solutions. Therefore, resilience is an important part of most WebRTC pentests since Denial of Service (DoS) attacks could seriously impact the value of the system.

What are the most common WebRTC vulnerabilities?

Compared to traditional VoIP and other communication mechanisms, WebRTC security testing is a relatively new topic.

WebRTC comes with various security features baked into the standards and benefits from strong security mechanisms employed by modern web browsers. Additionally many vulnerabilities found in WebRTC platforms are specific to such platforms and not generic. Despite that, we have come up with the following most common vulnerabilities that we have observed:

  1. TURN relay abuse
  2. Guessable meeting IDs
  3. Outdated dependencies
  4. RTP injection (DoS/injected audio)
  5. Specially crafted signaling messages cause crashes in signaling server
  6. Signaling flood DoS attack
  7. Cryptographic failures

Comprehensive WebRTC security assessment

Our WebRTC penetration testing goes beyond standard security audits by examining the entire communication channel from end to end.

This includes analyzing both the signalling protocol and media plane, ensuring secure peer-to-peer connections, and validating encryption protocols at every step.

We thoroughly test input validation, access controls, and authentication mechanisms to prevent both common OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and WebRTC-specific security holes that could compromise both the end users and server-side components.

Advanced testing for modern WebRTC implementations

As WebRTC technology evolves, new security considerations emerge, particularly in areas like mobile devices and web conferencing solutions.

Our security testing methodology adapts to these changes, incorporating checks for vulnerabilities in WebRTC media streams and data channels.

We pay special attention to the fundamental aspects of WebRTC infrastructure, including TURN servers, signalling servers, and web servers, ensuring that all transmitted data remains secure and protected from malicious traffic.

Continuous security evolution

The dynamic nature of WebRTC apps requires a proactive approach to security testing.

Our team stays current with emerging threats and attack vectors specific to real-time communication platforms.

We analyze digital signatures, message authentication mechanisms, and standardized protocols to ensure your WebRTC implementation maintains robust security measures. This comprehensive approach helps protect against sophisticated attacks targeting WebRTC vulnerabilities, data encryption weaknesses, and real-time communication security flaws, ensuring your WebRTC infrastructure remains resilient against evolving threats.

Enterprise-grade WebRTC security assurance

Our WebRTC penetration testing service addresses the unique challenges of enterprise communications platforms, including VoIP platforms and large-scale web conferencing solutions.

We examine how your WebRTC infrastructure handles separate sessions, initial signaling protocol messages, and unexpected connection requests to ensure robust security across all communication channels.

Comprehensive security for hybrid deployments

Modern WebRTC implementations often integrate with existing VoIP platforms and unified communications systems across multiple server environments.

Our testing methodology addresses these complex deployments by examining signaling protocols, media encryption, and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities throughout your WebRTC ecosystem. We ensure that signaling packets and media streams remain secure whether transmitted through TURN servers or via direct peer-to-peer connections.
