Back in the day when Skype was a pretty cool peer-to-peer encrypted mesh network, that successfully evaded firewalls and traffic analysis, I wrote a tool to proxy Internet traffic ontop of the Skype mesh. I was quite young when I wrote it, but I managed to dust off an old demo screencast I made (and convert the swf to an mp4), which gave me a laugh. If you're curious:

That is very cool. Does Skype not have a direct peer to peer connection anymore?


Supposedly since the Microsoft buy-out, everything is gradually becoming centralized.
