Can rtmpdump be detected?

Hi all,

I just have a brief question which will likely reveal how much of a novice I am at all this. When I run rtmpdump to capture a stream from a private source, I get this output:

RTMPDump 2.4...//...
Connecting ...
WARNING: HandShake: client signature does not match!
INFO: Connected...
Starting download at: 0.000 kB
...etc.

The stream is captured entirely, but I am wondering if the client signature mismatch can be detected. Basically, would IT notice this on any logs if they ever reviewed them?

Thanks very much for any insight.

You need to be logged in to initially grab the content path from the source code, but then I am able to log out and capture the stream through a VPN, so I know it's not traceable that way.

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://flash.bu.edu/echo360/08fall1/" -y "[content path here]" -o "Lecture_1_slides.flv"

That example should work.
