FB app, and several merchants run .swf and java applets that request MAC locally and upload it. Also enumerate WebRTC for lan

FB used to also websocket portscan your localhost + LAN on login from a fbsbx.com domain that also attempted to load native code/windows media player playlists/SWF/Java/Shockwave
