“In June of last year Phoronix delivered the news that the Skype
protocol was reverse-engineered and that there was already a
working open-source code example for interfacing with Skype to send
messages. While it seemed promising at first for potentially

/ reverse-engineering work and now it looks like the project is
dead, or at least terminally dormant.
