henbos has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-extensions:

== (How) should we mitigate error code exploits? ==
As pointed out [here](https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-extensions/issues/52#issuecomment-784154437), error codes that help distinguish between "wrong credentials" and generic network error might help an attacker for example brute-forcing credentials.

pc.onicecandidateerror is an example of this.

What should we do?
