#2Probably, for the time being, RTCTunnel will not be detected by NWGF as a VPN and therefor could be used to create a VPN that otherwise would be blocked by a FW.
If that fails, one could reside to sending jpeg images back-and-forth containing not real pictures but jpeg conform files that consist of encrypted data. I’m not aware that such a JPEGTunnel has ever been written but given the source code of RTCTunnel and the like, it shouldn’t be a very difficult task, eg a nice exercise for a student CS.

#3Great work! If I can run the golang file server on a bunch of heterogeneous nodes it would allow programmatic control of dumping / syncing / etc. I think the hardest part now is just locating all the hidden private media directories on all my mobile devices ;)
WebRTC was drafted as peer to peer network technology. But it's building layers on top of that peer mesh that will lead to interesting decentralized applications. This is a very rich area for developers!

#4You might be interested in looking at Snowflake[0], which does something similar. This paper[1] too; that being said, the parrot is dead.
Cool project!

#5I love this so much. It could be fun to write a Gnutella/eDonkey network over RTCTunnel. Maybe even have the user plug in their dropbox or google drive and start sharing like it's 2003 again.

What is an NWGF?

Not sure what NWGF is, but I can confirm that in UAE PeerConnections are blocked so it won't be much use for bypassing government censorship.

#9This is great. Expect adversarial conditions once malware start using it.
These days though,bypassing behaviorial detection is the biggest challenge imo(think great firewall of china). This helps because the traffic would be classified legitimate at the begining of the session. But things like disproportional upstream traffic would make it easy to detect. I don't know much about webrtc but if it is(or becomes) common to do bidirectional media streaming over it,this tunnel would be ideal combined with stream encryption.
Pentesters take note,try your next exfil using this nifty tool :)
