Replaying WebEx stream from %temp% files?

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I am trying to replay a WebEx stream I have previously watched from temp files that were created when I originally watched the stream.

The original link to the stream no longer works and there was never a download link to save an .arf file.

It appears that when you stream a WebEx session from a link (and perhaps live, I have not tried) it creates a folder in your %temp% location with an 8 digit name (52431122 for example). In that folder are a handful of files beginning with wbxcbr_ and wbxmcsr_ with .std, .dat, .conf and .idx extensions. Two of the .dat files are the largest by far and presumably contain the video and audio information.

I have tried renaming all of the files in the folder one at a time to .avi, .mp4, .mp3 and .arf for playback in VLC and the WebEx Network Recording Player with no luck. I have also tried converting them to .mp3 and .mp4 with ffmpeg for playback with no luck.

I am happy to play back the stream using the WebEx software if there is a way to convert the files into a .arf file, but am willing to save/convert the files in to any playable format at this point.

On Rooted CON 2015 Abel Valero presented great video with reversing WebEx data.

To simply get *.arf you can run Abel rebuild tool from GitHub.

After that you can use WebEx Network Recording Player to convert *.arf file to appropriate video format (.wmv, .swf or .mp4)

How to use steps

If you already have WebEx temp files - just start from Step 5. If not - start from Step 1.

Open WebEx session in browser and follow the steps to install "WebEx Network Recording Player". Wait until video will be downloaded. There is a blue buffering indicator and it should be 100%

Download Process Monitor - it's a program from SysInternals Suite and install it

Run "Process Monitor" and adjust filters to show capturing from "Network Recording Player". I used following contains filter for that: "ProcessName" contains "NRB"

Look into process nbrplay.exe disk activity and obtain temporary folder path. Usually it's folder: %windows%Users%username%AppDataLocalTemp<several digits>

Copy contents of WebEx temp folder somewhere when full recording is downloaded (Step 2 - buffering indicator is 100%)

Download util from here as a compiled executable (password is webex) or compile / adjust it to your needs

Run rebuild.exe, provide path from Step 5 into field Ruta: and press Go (it's a Spanish utility)

Wait for rebuild process - usually up to 10 sec. Util will save file with extension *.arf in the folder where utility itself is located

Open resulted *.arf file in the Network Recording Player: File > Open

Convert video to appropriate format for offline viewing File > Convert Format (usually *.wmv or *.mp4)

You really should include a quick summary of how to use the tool. Videos go down, and a consise, self contained answer is always so much better. The tool on github seems to lack any form of documentation

Is it normal that playing the ARF file doesn't have any audio?
