Default Re: AP, rigged, etc. #8981.4 - there was no superuser account

This is a special client. The server might be cooperating with it (possible, but not likely), or the special client might simply pluck the hole card data from wherever it is stored on the server.

The server in this instance would most definately be cooperating, in so much as verifying the clients authentication to recieve the data.

Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry could write their own customized client to retrieve the data. This doesn't happen because the server doesn't allow unauthorized access.

In the original example from your quote, the server is cooperating by allowing it...etc.
