Skype cracked

I thought this might be interesting:


Chinese Company: Skype Protocol Cracked
http://www.cio.com/blog_view.html?CID=22974

  "The 10-person Chinese company, which has received venture capital 
funding, is planning to release in two weeks three software components 
based on the Skype protocol that would allow developers to create 
compatible applications ..."

  "By cracking the Skype protocol, the company claims it can also block 
Skype voice traffic ..."


Original source:

So..

  "Software components that would allow developers to create compatible 
applications"

Fantastic!  So we have great stego for Freenet.  And it might even be 
possible to bounce traffic off Skype nodes (or, Freenet nodes using that 
"component").

But...

  "the company claims it can also block Skype voice traffic"

We're screwed.  :-)


   But I suppose it might be useful.  Another option, if nothing else.  And 
maybe I even can have a client that doesn't automatically report my whole 
social network to an easily subpoenaed server.
