hmm not a good thing but as long as we stick to servers we know and trust like NUBS and EPIC or the equivalent in other games, we should be ok. I cant believe valve knows about this for over 10 years and has not fix it. Valve cares little about servers as I found out when pcwidzan and slayer were dossing VIPER constantly They just wanna sell their games.
probably... need to check other sources.. he also said in the video that it was only known for a couple of hours before making the vid, btw
So apparently this was discovered by Valve few years ago. Some say it was definitely fixed in TF2 and GMOD. (probably all games running same/similar version of engine) Some say that it wasnt fixed for all source games and that SDK2013 engine stuff wasnt fixed/protected from this. So it seems like it was somewhat fixed, but not completely/properly. But apparently there are many other not so known exploits, Valve just fixes the popular ones (the ones that get viral.) So it looks like it was an old issue. The guy was most probably just monetizing the video, claiming he wants to raise awareness to this Some details about how it works can be found here: https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1501319 If you want to protect yourself from this, just use those commands: Code: cl_allowdownload 0 cl_allowupload 0 cl_customsounds 0 cl_playerspraydisable 1 cl_downloadfilter none But this will disable any downloads from the servers, like maps, sprays, sounds or etc... pretty much everything. Just a quick search on this.
hahah, yeah. https://forums.empiresmod.com/index...oit-allows-stealing-your-steam-account.19668/ The same youtuber actually got older vid. I guess its about the same thing? Still apparently only Source 2013 or older should be vulnerable.
