Hacker tells me how he hacks PS
First of all, I'm the furthest thing from the 'techy computer' type... so I don't really know or remember how he does it.
Basically I went to a live cash game held at a nearby seniors centre, and I met this older gentleman who works for a software company (of which they are trying to sell patents to Nortel). Anyways, halfway through the session, he overhears me talking about Pokerstars and he pipes up about him and his co-workers are working on software that can hack the website.
A few interesting points:
1) He worked for the military at one point or another
2) He says he's trying to hack the software to help understand and prevent hacking in the future
3) This is a not for gambling profit project
4) He at one point pulls out his blackberry and it all of the information of a tournament that had just been played by one of his bots. It had all of the essential information you'd expect from a PS SNG congratulatory e-mail. The e-mail had the time on it and it said 2:47am on it, and he had been in that room playing live for the last 8 hours.
5) The bot only plays cheap microstakes games
6) They are working on bots that can see opponents cards but are having difficulty with face cards
7) Notable bots: Mr. T & Triple H (I'm not sure of correct spelling or look of either name)
8) This guy is legit
At the beginning of the conversation, it was very worry some. At the end, it was kind of reassuring. Only because he seemed very honest about this being an act of protection for the players.

So what? Kinda reeks of bullshit though.

No, he's either in it for money or the challenge to see if he could pull it off. Standard bullshit answer he thinks will justify his joy riding to others. Or he's just full of shit.

Either staged, someone else was on the account or he does have a bot screwing around at the micro-stakes.

Because anything beyond the most mechanical of detection methods would probably pwn him.
