Skype Journal: Skype responds to "Skype protocols opening up, ready or not."
July 14, 2006 08:40 AMA Skype spokesperson IM'd me this response to yesterday's story:
"Skype is aware of the claim made by a small group of Chinese engineers that they have reverse engineered Skype software. We have no evidence to suggest that this is true. Even if it was possible to do this, the software code would lack the feature set and reliability of Skype which is enjoyed by over 100m users today. Moreover, no amount of reverse engineering would threaten Skype's cryptographic security or integrity."

"Moreover, no amount of reverse engineering would threaten Skype's cryptographic security or integrity." This is a joke, right? Uncrackable crypto in a closed product? Do you think we are that stupid?

From Russia with love... Did Russian Hackers overtake in effect Chinese Hackers in the race to reverse engineer the Skype.exe ? This time it's not a hoax or an unfulfilled promise. Here is the QtSkype4.exe. see www.skype-watch.com or link.
