In this work, AdaBoost and C4.5, are employed for classifying Skype direct (UDP and TCP) communications from traffic log files. Pre-processing is applied to the traffic data to express it as flows, which is later converted into a descriptive feature set. The aforementioned algorithms are then evaluated on this feature set. Results show that a 98% detection rate with6% false positive rate for UDP based Skype and a 94% detection rate with 4% false positive rate for TCP based Skype is possible to achieve.
