[Asterisk-Dev] A crazy idea... Skype channel in Asterisk

[Michael Giagnocavo]

No, I highly doubt it'll be easy. I think trying to decompile the code could
give us some kind of start, at least to figure out how the encryption is
setup. I believe they use Speex as the voice codec. After the encryption is
figured out, then it shouldn't be overwhelmingly complex to figure out how
they initiate a session (yea, I'm optimistic :)).

As far as DCMA, I'm outside the USA (Guatemala). I think Fernando is in
Mexico. DCMA doesn't exist (thank G_d) in these places.

I'm not an expert, but reverse engineering skype probably won't be an easy
task.
