Skype is a free (as in beer) voice over IP application. Many other VOIP applications exist, but some specific points make Skype very different, such as its peer-to-peer architecture, its ease to bypass firewalls and, last but not least, the impressive level of obfuscation that has been invested to prevent anybody from looking inside the software and its communications.

This presentation will go through the many layers of protection that have been used to protect Skype internals. Tools and technics used to do so will also be presented. We will conclude this trip by showing some of those Skype little secrets.
