I seem to remember XMPPWocky using these exploits (he used a fuzzer to
find them...) against Community Servers in the wild. I'm also pretty
sure he's banned from AM because of this. I hate to say it, but this
is definitely not what Valve should be promoting. The Ryan's at the
very least for past contributions against Ticket Authentication (even
if there was a tool)...
There's definitely people out there who haven't been malicious about
this in the past, and it's actually kind of pathetic that this
destructive behaviour is rewarded. Reporting an issue is one thing,
exacerbating it against unprotected community servers is another.
Perhaps but, let's face it, valve "rewarding" someone with a TF2 hat is
surely
meant as an insult? Isn't it?
If my boss handed me a hat for work well done I wouldn't know
whether to throw him or the hat out of the window first :D
Gabe is just taking the mickey with this - perhaps because
lots have noticed google et al paying cash and asking him to
do the same.
It reminds me of the scene in "Better call Saul" when the guy offers
him a million dollars to take a case and he gets handed fake money with
the clients face on it.
If he can hire people who get excited because there's a room full of donuts
at work then he probably has quite a laugh watch people getting excited
over receiving
nothing.
