It seems that action was the best technique. My apologies goes towards the 10 servers that I brought down for ~30 seconds to make something happen. I hope I didn't cause any major damage. As Unknownzd stated they wouldn't listen to "us" and now if it doesn't get "fixed" I don't know what to do. I thought it would be better to just bring down 10 servers instead of releasing the exploit to public. Congratulations for revealing it here... A lot of servers are much safer now. I was rather shocked that my small DoS got so much attention. I wouldn't even have noticed 30 seconds freeze on my own servers at all. Sorry again to everyone who I harmed, at least now something happened instead of the exploit report staying on some valve employee's mailbox doing nothing. Here's a small patch as a temporary fix I was offering for the people who joined the irc channel: easy-share.com/1905012260/patch.exe For all those suspicious people ( http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/6422efb688fb2321362045b27c9e687d ) the file is just a patcher. It just patches one byte in the hex editor which you could easily do in a hex editor. This is just for the desperate server owners like me _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
