Hey everyone.

Quick question. Does anyone have a way to contact whoever at Valve could help with this insane situation?

The master server list on counter-strike: source is polluted by thousands of fake servers making it impossible to find legit servers, they found a way to fake the player count and even go beyond the limits.

attached is a screenshot of the situation

and all those fake servers originate from these IPs:

89.111.131.172
91.219.149.6
188.127.241.129
212.57.127.30

...same happen on csgo

try to find an update to MasterServers.vdf

seems like there's an open github issue for this as well: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Sou...es/issues/5101

and a thread in the mailing list https://www.mail-archive.com/hlds_li.../msg76807.html

I just came up with a simple powershell script to block 99% if those malicious servers making the server list good again:

PHP Code:

# List of IP addresses to block
$IPList = @('89.111.131.172', '91.219.149.6', '188.127.241.129','212.57.127.30')

# Loop through each IP and block it
foreach ($IP in $IPList) {
    Write-Host "Blocking IP: $IP"

    # Block inbound traffic
    New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block IP Inbound - $IP" -Direction Inbound -RemoteAddress $IP -Action Block

    # Block outbound traffic
    New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block IP Outbound - $IP" -Direction Outbound -RemoteAddress $IP -Action Block
}

Write-Host "All IPs have been blocked."

I appreciate the list, but those IPs are almost entirely on the private range.
