Conversations over that connection include the cards you are delt along with the bet and chat information. Multiple TCP connections are initiated by the client to bring data from the server to compose the various windows and applets. Last time I looked at this, it was Full Tilt. They use SSH to set up the connection between client and server. If the server (PS) were to try to use that connection in a reverse manner to initiate a scanning program, it would have to use a new TCP port number - which would be treated as a new connection. That would be blocked by my firewall, or at a minimum, caught by my zone alarm on the PC as an incoming malicious program. When I have some more time over the holiday to reconfigure my network, I'll see if I can sniff out the details... [/QUOTE]
