Skype Reverse-Engineered And Dumped on Pirate Bay

“Skype protocol reverse engineered, source available for download,” reads an interesting torrent comment on The Pirate Bay.

The rest of the post, which comes from freelance researcher Efim Bushmanov, explains his aim of making Skype open source.

“While ‘Wall Street Journal’ makes politics and Skype today’s trend, I want to publish my research on this,” the post continues in broken english.

“My aim is to make Skype open source. And find friends who can spend many hours for [sic] completely reverse it.”

“Now, most of hard things already done(for 1.x/3.x/4.x versions of Skype). Including rc4 and arithmetic compression.

“You have unique chance to take a look on Skype internal protocol and encryption. You will see that it uses strong AES and RSA encryption with public key infrastructure.”

The files, which weigh-in at just over 147mb, currently have a couple of hundred seeders.

The news follows hot on the heels of an announcement by Microsoft that it will acquire Skype for $8.5 billion in cash.

Microsoft would love to have The Pirate Bay take the torrent down but unfortunately for them that’s not going to happen.
