The skype client was reverse engineered several years ago:
@inproceedings{biondi06silver,
title = {Silver Needle in the Skype},
author = {Philippe Biondi and Fabrice Desclaux},
note =
"\url{www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-europe-06/bh-eu-06-biondi/bh-eu-06-biondi-up.pdf}",
booktitle = {Black Hat Europe},
month = "Feb-Mar",
year = 2006
}
I don't know if the new crack reveals anything new. We have
a writeup about the Skype protection techniques in
"Surreptitious Software", our book on security-through-obscurity.
(Sorry for the blatant self-promotion).
