Silly that someone would go through this kind of trouble, when it's as easy as subtracting 29521408 from the last 8 digits of a groups groupID64, which is public, and doesn't require knowing anything other than the URL of the steam group. No one's sv_steamgroup ID is safe until Valve changes the system.
