Reverse engineering Whatsapp has been done, it is time for other high-profile VoIP apps like Skype or Viber.

I am willing to donate. Thanks

..unless you manage to reverse engineer it. I think android version would possibly be easier. or that leaked unpacked client. someone already did this long time ago: http://www.oklabs.net/fakeskype-source-code/

http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~salman/skype/ collection of papers etc.

there is more complete site too, but i cannot remember it's name/url right now.

Wow, that's some leap of faith! Nothing against their IP, but automatically assuming that reverse engineering is "for malicious activities like spamming/phishing"?

There is a saying in my native language, roughly translated as, "to the clean, everything is clean". Meaning, if you are honest yourself, you tend to assume that other people's intentions are also honest. I guess the reverse also applies.
