Not really. I've personally seen valve fix stuff like this once they were made aware of it. I'm wondering if this guy even alerted valve to it before releasing it.
I don't mind him publicly disclosing stuff, but giving out pre-packaged binaries with the exploit that any 13 year old could figure out how to use is a little silly in my opinion. It's enough to describe the exploit and the specifics related to it. -----Original Message----- From: hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlcoders-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Joel R.
