Getting WebRTC built into TOR

Question

Situation:

I have been trying to get WebRTC onto the TOR Browser. I Know this might sound stupid at first, I explained my reasons on why I wanted to do this in my previous post: Getting WebRTC on TOR

Current Progress:

After no luck with finding already made plugins, I decided to try to build it into TOR myself. I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu btw (Xenial 16.04). What I have done so far is:

• Download a fresh version of TOR but without installing it

• Download the version of firefox that the previous TOR version was based off of (firefox 45.9.0), only downloaded, didn't install.

• Located relevant WebRTC files in the firefox:

  • firefox-sdk/include/mozilla/media/webrtc/WebrtcGlobal.h

    this file has a few #include ...s at the top, which are files that are also located within the firefox downloaded bundle, and some of these refer to other files, and so on.

Questions:

• If I copy all the files that are related to the WebRTC file WebrtcGlobal.h would that compose all the necessary files in order to implement WebRTC into tor? If I need more please let me know which, and if I don't need all the ones included, which ones are the only ones I need?

• After having the right files, where in TOR should I include them? Do I need to modify certain configurations, like media.peerconnection.enabled=false into true, amongst others?

• Is there anything else I would need to do? As you can see, I am kind of learning as I go along, any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

see Ways to Build Tor Browser and #8178.

You'd need to edit the build process to not use the --disable-webrtc flag. Simply copying the files will not be sufficient, since they are built into firefox and the various libraries at compile time you'd need to compile a new copy of Tor Browser, from source, with the features enabled.

Yes, media.peerconnection.enabled would need to be set to true.
