The search key does not work currently. Whatever you set, it never show up

Here's a quick update...
I have sv_search_key is this:
sv_search key 1013,key:MYKEYGOESHERE

I can connect to my server just fine (~80% of the time?) doing this.
HOWEVER:
I have only had a few (one or two) instances in the past week in which

It works fine for me though. I have the exact thing set on my server's
server.cfg:
*sv_search_key 1013,key:KEYHERE*
And in my client's autoexec.cfg:
*sv_search_key KEYHERE*
And I gets tons of random people and I can connect fine using just the
search key. It's full 90% of the time; I usually
That works fine for me too, except for getting random people.
It might be an issue with the server since I removed the searchkey and the
steamgroup (just to be safe. It's not exclusive), and left it that way for a
few hours, and nobody connected...
This is probably a question for a different
I use sv_search_key yourkeyhere (with quotes) in the sever.cfg. I do not use
sv_steamgroup. Then on my end(client side) I have a autoexec.cfg in C:\Program
Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\cfg folder with
sv_search_key yourkeyhere (with quotes). Not sure if this matters or
OkI'm not getting anything new, but I think I need to understand a bit
more the use of each of these cvars.
With just sv_steamgroupthat should automatically put a member of that
steamgroup into one of our servers, correct? Or no?
With sv_search_key...that is just another way of doing
sv_steamgroup just makes the server show up in the list on the main menu
of all members and had no effect on lobbies. sv_search_key filters lobby
server searches to servers with matching keys.

It seems people discovered the old A2C_PRINT UDP message and are spamming
servers. http://screencast.com/t/JRYs3LglN
Is there any chance Valve can fix this instead of us having to fix every
exploit they ignore?

Cracking/hacking groups, same people that spam servers using A2C_PRINT.

What's A2C_Print? There's nothing about that on the Developer Wiki.

Also Azui... You forgot. Exploits must be reported Monday through Friday

There are several other packets not listed on the developer wiki.
Like the name suggests A2C_PRINT can be send from *A*ll (master, server,
clients) to *C*lients, so servers should not be affected by this. Weird.

According to proto_oob.h, A2C means Any to Client. Techically the
server is a client to the master server. Don't expect this bug to be
fixed any time soon, folks.

It doesn't freeze servers it merely prints a message in the server
console. Although it can make them lag and beep using \x07.

Sends messages. A quick search got this:
A2C_PRINT from 68.142.72.250:27011 :
No challenge for your address.
A2C_PRINT from 72.165.61.189:27011 :

Adding master at 72.165.61.189:27011

Bad challenge.

Huh? You mean by using \b to cover up the A2C_PRINT from x.x.x.x:y :

Using \r would just make a new line.

Hey all,
Since there seems to be a script kiddie going around and abusing A2C_PRINT
I've updated my DoS Attack Fix plugin to block A2C_PRINT spam. The plugin is
a Valve server plugin, and does not require metamod or Sourcemod. It can be
loaded in the middle of a game with no noticeable load time.

The valve automated reply robot is 'they'.
I'm assuming the 'disable' beep.sys apply only to people who run a backyard
dedicated servers and get annoyed with the beep, beep beep that happens when
the server is in the same room as them and doesn't do much else?
