Plus, posting about it on this list, if anything, will give Valve incentive to fix it even faster.

Were you quoting my original post? Of course something should be posted to this list, as a warning and to get people talking. I omitted the details, however. It was someone else who spilled the beans. The first thing I did was email valve. In my opinion, however, it's a weekend, and this isn't gonna get fixed right away no matter what.

Lol, banned world wide. At least some of the attacks have been done from people on this list. Trying the vulnerability out etc. Gonna ban yourselves are ya? Im sure you yourself have probably tried it at least once. I tried it on a server and didn’t know it had just crashed me or the whole server so I did it again with a friend also connected to the same server. I did it on my own server but I bet quite a few of you did it on publics. Realistically, Yes there is a problem and im sure valve will fix it as soon as they can. In the mean time posting more and more about it on this list and other forums just informs more and more people how to do it. This problem should never have been highlighted on these lists as the more people that know about it the more people will try it. Email valve. Don’t publish new exploits on here, Just basic information to warn server admins that there is an exploit out there. For example. "A new exploit has been found that crashes the server. Something to do with a players name." I realise that this isn’t ideal but its better than the whole world knowing how to take servers down. Wall hacks for example. The more people that know about it the more people will use it. SO DON’T POST HOW TO DO IT. If you moderate a forum with this information on. DELETE IT. Also be nice if valce could setup an email address for exploits to be sent to so that its not made so public. There was a very sensible post on here a few days ago about the wall hack. No information was posted on how to use it but just that it was there and to watch out for it.
