I have followed the protection white paper to..
1.Disable RTMP access by SSAS
2.Use that challenge response to send and recieve a random number by SSAS
3.enable swf verification with hash timeout

I still can download the videos using replay media catcher.
I am wondering the RTC is being updated to pass throught all checking.
What's more can I do?

    Did you try changing the method name of nc.verifyClient? I'm just guessing here, but since the purpose of Replay is to steal content, it wouldn't surprise me if the developers of replay added a verifyClient method to their code assuming that many people would just copy and past code from the article you linked to.

    Wow... that's really sad. I was sort of hoping I was wrong. I guess when you're in the business of building content stealing software, you gotta do what you gotta do.

    I've blogged about it so the aggregators that read my blog will pick it up.

    Thanks JayCharles
    You are correct!
    They really hard coded that method!
    I think this post could help many people to solve their problems.

    The fact that replay is getting past your challenge/response suggests that there might be a hole in your code somewhere, as I don't think replay would be capable of handling a custom method (the method and it's response handler would need to be present in Replay to to that).

    Can you post the code you're using? That would help to identify the issue.
