RE: [hlds] Console Crashing Hacks
Haven't had so many problems with crashing such as this, but I have had lots and lots of the SteamID stealing, including one my own SteamIDs. Within 2-3 weeks of this, all the SteamIDs were banned. This means that I play competition with a SteamID that I only use for competition play and another SteamID for pubbing. I hope the SteamID stealing problem gets fixed. In all cases I have seen, the servers have been VAC2 enabled.

lol.. judgeing by there intro, i wouldn't doubt that its them. - Original Message - From: "Aaron Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 1:10 PM Subject: [hlds] Console Crashing Hacks -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I own and operate the LANFusion gaming community. We have 5 source servers, and in the past week have been experiencing many problems with the servers going down. At first I thought it was something to do w/ the admin mods, however, I have traced it to a group of hackers. Basically, one of these guys comes into the servers, and starts using all the normal hacks (walls, aim, you name it). Then, when he knows he's been bagged (or about to be) he starts spamming text or music which tells people "Console hacks activated, press console button to turn on" (or something to that point). This gets people in the server to press the console button, and when they do, their HL2 program freezes. This causes people in the server to time out, and if enough do it, causes the server itself to have a memory read error. Now these people are tricky, because not only can they make the server crash, but they are using other peoples steam ids. The only way I have been able to stop them is by banning the IP address from which they connected. But they just change their IP address and come right back. I searched through my log files for the name and IP and found that one guy had connected from the same IP with about 15 different STEAMIDs. When i searched the steamid's he had, I saw that those steamid's belonged to other people who were in the server at the time. I have no idea how he's masking his actual steamid (or how he's stealing other peoples) but this is a real problem. One of my admins traced one of the guys back to a group called ICT or 'International Coding Team' (* *www.theict.com ). I tried to register on their forums but my account wouldn't activate. I'm not positive if these guys are the actual culprits, however, they are apparently coming out with a ton of hacks. Valve, are you aware of this exploit?
