Hi,

http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~library/TR-repository/reports/reports-2004/cucs-039-04.pdf

This should offer some hints.
I don't know how "current" it is, though, but I assume it is still relevant.

Then, from the same bugtraq-thread:
http://www.icir.org/christian/outback/blackhat-eads-skype.pdf
Seems to be more recent.
If you read the above, you know *why* you want to block it ;-)



Best Regards,
Rainer
