"The program uses the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) to
record not only streamed Flash media but also encrypted streams.
Adobe added encryption to its proprietary protocol on introducing

RTMPE support incorporated in rtmpdump and, in its cease-and-desist
notice, invokes the [Digital Millennium Copyright Act to prevent
the distribution of the software."
