Is there a security consideration for Chrome debugger?

Question

Hi,I am being driven demented by attempts to get a working debug environment. I have working Firefox with debugger plugin, but that has its own network blocking issues that currently block a specified type of content silently. This fails only on Firefox and I desperately need a working example in another browser debugger to compare against. I have Chrome debugger plugin... but I can only get this working sporadically and, crucially, _not_ on the network where I am working today. However, because I _have_ seen working Chrome debug... is it possible that Chrome / the plugin / my OS is blocking access to debugger when on public networks?EG:1. Chrome is coming installed with 2132. I have installed debugger 2163. My plugin in Chrome reports itself as 2164. I _still_ cannot debug using 216...Can anybody point me to something I need to enable / disable to allow debugging via Chrome on a public network? G

Hi,Chrome only detects the non-content debugger Flash Player version by default. To use the debugger you'll need to launch Chrome from the command-line (or terminal) using switch commands to tell Chrome where to find the content debugger and the content debugger version:Launch the command-prompt or Terminal app:On Windows, select Start > Run > type cmd.exe and press Enter to launch the command-windowOn OS X, launch Finder and navigate to /Library/Utiltities/Terminal.app > open Terminal.appLaunch Chrome from the terminal with the --ppapi-flash-path and --ppapi-flash-version switches in the following syntax: --ppapi-flash-path= --ppapi-flash-version=Examples:Windows 32-bit OS: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --ppapi-flash-path=C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_21_0_0_197.dll --ppapi-flash-version=21.0.0.197Windows 64-bit OS (32-bit Chrome): "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --ppapi-flash-path=C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_21_0_0_197.dll --ppapi-flash-version=21.0.0.197OS X: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --ppapi-flash-path=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin/Contents/MacOS/PepperFlashPlayer --ppapi-flash-version=21.0.0.197 To verify Chrome is using the expected version, navigate to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and click the Check Now button. The resulting System Information will indicate the Flash Player version in use and should be the one used in the previous step.The system information widget does detect if the content debugger is installed and will show this in the results. If you don't see this distinction, then Chrome is not using the Flash Player content debugger version in the --ppapi-flash-path and/or --ppapi-flash-version. Please ensure the paths to Chrome and Flash Player are correct and the version specified is correct.--Maria
