Hi All ,
My Name is Eddie Harari and I am the one wrote the article on GG networking security hole:
https://cardplayerlifestyle.com/ggne...-player-names/
I had a few meetings with technical people from GG team and i have sent them email about the ability to view hole cards in certain conditions ( I had the ability to see hole cards in NEAR real time ).
I also told GG about the possibility about such incident and I was more concerned about the fact that they are not monitoring the action as they claim to do, I also offered to help them with real data monitoring and RTA detection.
Their response was: Thank you but we know what we are doing , they were more concerned about fishing sites then discovering cheaters in the software.
I think it is very likely that this "hack" is one of two options:
1. Superuser like activity - GG networking has a "back-door" to view hole cards in real time.
2. Race condition in the Craft interface - Viewing live cards of all the players via the CRAFT interface.
I have sent GG networking a proof of concept where i can view cards about 5 seconds after the hand is over / this includes hole cards of all players (even the people who mucked) I also told them that I suspect that given a little time and research I may gain the ability to beat the 5 seconds and see the hole cards in real time.
GG dismissed my claims and told me they are monitoring all players and such incident can't happen on their site.
