For now, we don't know the solution. If what was said is true, it looks like this is something that should be fixed by VALVE.

Maybe ReHLDS devs can help

Nobody can do anything until either a honeypot server is attacked or people get access to the exploit. Being private you're not seeing kids repeatedly smash servers with it so theres no way to even get a packet signature

Anyways, there isnt much to do now. It's not confirmed that this thing really bypasses steam, theres a long history of people bullshitting about exploits (a notable example is a romanian douche who kept boasting about hacking the _pw field, you might know him as raiz0)

We'll have to wait for either the exploit devs to prove the problem (connect with a specific steamid such as 696969 or steal someone's address); then either help the devs fix it, or release it to the public.

I also treat game clients from 2001 the same as ones from 2013 so except the same security standards, forget about the SILK codec, use any hack EVER developed since this game was launched"

Totally true

If someone thinks they have been unfairly banned they should contact [email protected] (as it clearly states on the page displayed when banned), our policy in this case is only to ban for malicious distribution of exploit tools and/or using them on servers without authorisation - and at first glance it does not look like that was the case here.

We always welcome discussion about exploits (and investigating potential exploits) as long as the focus is on defending against / patching them for the latest version of the affected software.

However, if there continues to be no actionable information or progress, and if the bickering in this thread continues to spread and cause problems elsewhere, we will have no option but to lock it.

If you have legitimate details to give about an exploit that occurs on HL1/GoldSrc/CS16 servers running on Steam, please contact [email protected], CCing [email protected] with the the info. This thread itself has run its course.
