However, experts state that the source code published by the hacker is actually the one leaked some time ago by a researcher who reverse engineered the Windows binaries. According to security researcher Janne Ahlberg “I managed to get a copy of the file ‘skype55_59_deobfuscated’ from May. It is not Skype source code, but a reverse engineered version of the Windows binaries. The tool used in reverse engineering seems to be IDA disassembler/debugger”
So far 3 torrent files being released which include a reversed engineered copy of the skype protocol, the source development kit(sdk) and needed runtime and de-obfuscated, unpacked Skype 5.5 and 5.9 binaries for Windows.
