The spec's three JavaScript APIs handle codecs, encoding and transport once two peers have found each other. Finding them takes a signaling service, STUN and TURN, and all three are yours to run and budget for.

An end-to-end read of the browser-automation CLI found --pin-tab written to an fsynced sidecar file and re-read at startup, while --allowed-domains is seeded only from an environment variable that a reconnecting command never sets.

A coturn install on Debian can report active, bind nothing, and log no error. A dev.to walkthrough therefore puts two browser checks ahead of any config edit, so you stop fixing a relay that already works.

Compromised WordPress and PrestaShop pages fetch their next stage with a JSON-RPC eth_call to BNB Smart Chain Testnet, so the artefact sitting on the site is a request, not a file you can quarantine.

The contract cannot be deleted. Every injected site has to reach a public BNB Smart Chain testnet RPC endpoint to read it. Netskope recommends blocking that pool. The payload has already changed once.

A telephony rewrite took response times from 2,500ms to under 1,800ms. Most of the delta came from one detection change, and a single CRM lookup can still undo all of it.
