As server admins, we either find out the hard way when these exploits are used on our servers, or we find out on lists like this. I would rather find out here, be made aware of the problem and know that it is being addressed rather than finding out on the forums at my site, or even worse, see the exploit used on my servers while I am playing.
I understand your reasoning about posting exploits, but at the same time I am glad repro steps were posted. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stan Bubrouski Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 12:36 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Nasty spawn bug And I don't want to irresponsibly associate myself with Valve or anyone else, but I'm not going to be apologetic when I'm absolutely not sorry for saying something that *I* personally feel should be said. -sb On 2/9/06, Alfred Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't want to enter the argument about whether or not to post exploit > details on this list, I merely request that you make sure to email me > directly with exploits like this that you find so you can be sure they > get my attention. > > - Alfred > > Mike Norton wrote: > > I was going to sit by quietly on Alfred response about "NOISE" but > > then Stan pipes up with that attack? > > > > Alright, enough is enough. > > > > 1.
