Skype Protocol Cracked
Filed in: Security, Technology, VoIP — July 14th, 2006
According to VoIPWiki, Skype protocol has been cracked by a China company. A working Skype compatible client has been created as well.
Today I received a call through Skype from a friend at a company in China, except (that) he told me he was not using Skype to call me. His company has successfully reverse engineered the Skype protocol and he wanted to call me in the United States to see how it worked between physically distant IP addresses. We talked for a little over nine minutes before the call dropped. Then I called him back using my Skype and we spoke for another three minutes.

My two cents
Definitely not a good news for Skype, but Skype would not let anyone release a compatible Skype client. I think Skype will update their protocol soon.

eBay should keep backward compatibility wih 100 mil of installed clients.
if somebody open source the code there are going to be lot of Skype clients including integration with Open Soirce IMs like Gaim. i do not see how eBay can prevent this. they can prevent massive distribution of commercial client in the US, but not in China. and definitely it can not be stoped if open sourced. somewhere on some servers you will be able to pull patch for your favorite IM program which does exactly this - leverage Skype proxy servers.
…btw there is open source alternative - OpenWengo

Maybe we can finally get some free calls to China!
