Hi,

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
