Hacking Online Poker

Hacking in the Past

Hacking Online Poker is largely a myth. There is only one ever recorded case of it happening. Click here to read it. This specific case involves taking advantage of a flaw in a random number generation code. This has been fixed by specific verification of their RNG’s (random number generator).

Hacking Doesn’t Happen

Hacking just cannot happen — at least not from the outside. Why? Well any semi-legitimate online poker company employs 128bit encryption. Such as digital certificates from companies like THAWTE. The value of these certificates is that the client side program (say partypoker client) connects on a secure level to their server – therefore it is encrypted on your computer and decrypted on the server side. Making it nearly impossible to hack, the server that is.

Hacking the Client

Hacking the client is something that happens quite frequently.

Hacking Images:

For instance, you can open your poker directory.

c:\program files\poker client\images\

and you could open all those images and modify them. The new images would appear on your client only.

Example: modify table.jpg to add a pot odds chart instead of blank table felt.

Hex-Editing:

Another way to hack the client is to “Hex-Edit” it. Goto Download.com search for the programs by the name of “Hex Edit” and download one. Then use this program to open the client example “pokerclient.exe” . And you can view alot of information programmed into the client.

For the most part this is just an interesting way to look at how the program runs. However, in the past its been used to modify a couple interesting things such as registering banned names on that poker client. Such as “POKERCLIENT SUPPORT” or “ASSHOLEPLAYER” , etc.

Phishing

Old Method, New Target

Phishing is one of the oldest known methods of scamming people on the Internet. However, it is relatively new to online poker.

What is Phishing?
Phishing attacks use ‘spoofed’ e-mails and fraudulent websites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames and passwords, social security numbers, etc. By hijacking the trusted brands of well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies, phishers are able to convince up to 5% of recipients to respond to them. (from Anti-Phishing.org)

Bearing On Online Poker
Recently people have been victim to this form of fraud with their online poker accounts. What happens is that they get an e-mail that looks like this :
From: [email protected]
Subject: IMPORTANT Need Account Info

Self Collusion in Poker

Self-Collusion: Involves setting up a number of computers in the same room and running all of them yourself. By doing so, in theory, you could run a poker room where everyone in that room is colluding, except for one or two people. Who stand no chance.

Online Poker Bot

A Pokerbot is a utility that you set up to play online poker and win 1+ pots an hour. In order to profit without you doing anything.

Programs such as WinHoldEm, in our 3rd Party Poker Software Program section can achieve this. However, are banned in many poker rooms.

But, on the other hand – where there is a will there is a way. These people continually find new ways to dupe the poker rooms. And PokerBots continue to exist, successfully.
