Re: [hlds_linux] hacking steam accounts
Perhaps discussions regarding the steam-platform could be taken to the appropriate forum-section next time, hence actually get a community response and reply from Valve, instead of spamming the poor guys who try and make the Linux-server work on both sides of the fence? -TheG On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 7:50 AM, Kyle Sanderson kyle.l...@gmail.com wrote: You've got mail.

Re: [hlds_linux] hacking steam accounts
I hate to say it, but the Steam Powered User Forums (SPUF) are full of incompetence (I gave it another shot a couple months back, the same silly replies ensued). Steam Tickets will also get you no where quickly. If there was a more reliable way to have a meaningful discussion regarding Steam (and hopefully SRCDS). I'm pretty sure we would all use it. However, at this present time, there is not. I would have done exactly what Tom did, would have I been wrong to? That's for you to decide (of course it's off topic, and 'unrelated to Server Administration'). Saying that this belongs on the Steam forums though is preposterous. One employee mailed me off list, John asked on list (both work on Steam, well, atleast they're in the Steam group). I've sent both of them the exploit with instructions on how to use it. Hopefully there's at least some sort of patch out for it soon (it has been public knowledge for quite sometime now). All is not lost in this *thread*, hopefully.

Re: [hlds_linux] hacking steam accounts
This we can all agree + Valve people does read this list while they do not always reply. Besides, while we run servers, most of us have also Steam accounts which security we are as concerned as our servers. So this kind of thing is important to most of us too so we can further more give announcements to our fellow gamers through community services and such to watch out for scammers and such. -ics 14.10.2010 11:45, Kyle Sanderson kirjoitti: I hate to say it, but the Steam Powered User Forums (SPUF) are full of incompetence (I gave it another shot a couple months back, the same silly replies ensued).

Re: [hlds_linux] hacking steam accounts
Thanks again Kyle. FYI for everyone else, there did turn out to be a security hole allowing bypassing of email verification if you had a properly hacked client. We pushed out a server side fix for this and the exploit should be fixed as of this afternoon. If anyone has any details on Steam security exploits in the future please continue to email me directly and we'll check them out.

Re: [hlds_linux] hacking steam accounts
I think you guys need to keep in mind they are primarily a game developer. Their interest is in developing games, not necessarily concentrating on the myriad of security aspects there are. They aren't Microsoft. However I agree, to implement a verification function which can be undone using a tool is worrying. I'm sure they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix.

Well it requires people like us to tell them about the exploit in detail not just hey I heard from my mothers brothers sister hairdress that Valve can be hacked, that doesnt help fix the issues If you are aware of a real exploit send it to valve and give them time to fix it before posting it here other than maybe a generic hey I found this, too many people trolling looking for things to use ingame here.

Re: [hlds_linux] hacking steam accounts
If you have concrete evidence of an exploit please provide us with any information you have. We would certainly take such an exploit seriously. However, we currently aren't aware of any such exploit and have no evidence that one would be possible. Sometimes rumors about exploits turn out to be greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to email me directly if you have details on any security exploits in Steam.
