An unreadable executable file coming from Skype sounds interesting, so I look at it. It’s 46 bytes long. For copyright reasons I can’t post the file or a complete disassembly. However, I can describe the program in terms of 16-bit DOS C:code cpp
int main(void) { fwrite((const void far*) 0xF0000000, 1, 0xFFFF, stdout); fwrite((const void far*) 0xF000FFFF, 1, 1, stdout); return 0; }
It’s dumping your system BIOS, which usually includes your motherboard’s serial number, and pipes it to the Skype application. I have no idea what they’re using it for, or whether they send anything to their servers, but I bet whatever they’re doing is no good given their track record.
