Thats the same effect as using a cracked server.
You can either block the traffic to the authentication server, or use a cracked server (which blocks it code-wise).

Both should allow all types of clients to join. (I didn't test that though).

Touche` hCupa.

I'm glad you finally posted this information though, hopefully it will thwart n00bs with magical fixes.

Nice this will clear up the whole mess about the ticket I honestly hope.

Indeed.

But is the cracked server showing up in the steam server list?

That depends if the master server ip/port is different from the authentication one. I think it is though.

You spoke of a time-out exploit by having mIRC interfere with the client and the blob. I'd like to point out that since this is in fact a problem on the client side, there is nothing that can be done on the server side.

Also, "you must have a registered game on your list" ... so do you understand the client protocol? I'm asking here, fishing, but really, does the client have to specify who's list? Redirecting the server to check another list would be a nice sneaky hack. Of course, still fixable, so...

And ... are the lists dictated by the client or server?
... in the registration process, who gives the final packet, client or server?

And yet another question. If a packet is lost during the registration process (as you duly point out that it uses UDP), how is it resent, by client or server detection? Spoofing a packet loss to make the server grant authentication is another vunerability as well.

As a last and final hope, remember the SDKs for Half-Life. Worst comes to worst, make a mod that uses a non-Steam online service. Worst comes to worst.

This is called a "Master Server", same idea being used as the ones that id had to index Quake servers. Since I believe that authentication takes place on the same port, this may not be doable.

Very VERY nice, I recommend going here and getting the mod...time to have fun again!!

man I'm about to cry right now when all of these cool programs started to come out like six, steam-down, steamluncher........I thought we owned valve for good and that there is nothing they could do. but instead they releast a fucking update that probably took them 1 day to come up with and literally destroid every thing

@ hCUPa,

Would you or anyone you know be so kind as to give me 3 accounts via steam (free ones not registered with a key)?

I have got my friends up and running using SiX-STEAM lol but he wants his account now, it's been in the spider webs for a few months and like my theory I was right, old accounts that are free work online with STEAM servers...

If you or anyone would be so kind to help me out (I will help you out also ) my email address is cro_23q@hotmail.com

This works flawlessly and I swear to God this is not BS.

Regards
Chopz.

when u join a server and u dont have any games registered the server modifies blob file and forward the current time 5 hours later so that's why is expired -.- so let's say u access at 4pm the blob file would actually said that u accessed 9pm making a conflict i think making it not be valid ticket -.-... so i dont think there's a method to check the blob file...

Ok I see.

It was just to check how long im gonna be able to play cos my six is not yet affected by that ticket error.
