VoIP user claims Skype protocol hack

14 July 2006

A Chinese company claims to have reverse-engineered the Skype protocol, allowing it to place calls over Skype's VoIP network. 

 

According to a post on the VoIPWiki blog, a user by the name of Charlie Paglee received a Skype call from a contact at an unnamed Chinese company.

The calling party used the company's own software to initiate the call, rather than the official Skype client.
