- yes - pen testers and imitators and sometimes a red team worthy of the name... - almost always (these days) "How We Learned to Cheat at Online Poker: A Study in Software Security" http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/entdev/article.php/616221 ''' The system clock seed gave us an idea that reduced the number of possible shuffles even further. By synchronizing our program with the system clock on the server generating the pseudo-random number, we are able to reduce the number of possible combinations down to a number on the order of 200,000 possibilities. After that move, the system is ours, since searching through this tiny set of shuffles is trivial and can be done on a PC in real time.
