That's simple: send an email or phone to skype people and ask them to open their protocol and especially the part concerning port allocation. And don't forget to ask them to make this part of the protocol go unencrypted on the wire. Seriously, to develop an helper module for a protocol, 2 things are needed: * The protocol is known (we know where to search the information about port opening) * The protocol is clear (no crypto, we can parse information) Skype has both problems and will never have an helper module.
