Eben, man kann den Hacker nicht verfolgen, also verfolgt man die Datei
Hier noch was interessantes:
Reading some of the comments Valve are still receiving people obviously do not get this.
The source code was stolen before the delay.
The source code was stolen on 19th September, and the delay was announced on 24th September.
The source code was stolen before the delay.
Valve do not deserve this for announcing the delay so close to release, because
The source code was stolen before the delay.
This would not have been avoided if Valve released HL2 on 30th as promised, because
The source code was stolen before the delay.
Does everybody get that now?
Everything makes sense now. The release was going fine up until the middle of September, then Valve started to go a bit quiet. Then the delay is announced with a comment relating to “email problems.” And Valve go even quieter. Everyone who has seen a Valve guy recently for interviews etc. has commented that they all looked like shite, and really stressed out. They could not announce that they had been hacked because they were probably hoping that he would try again, and that they could catch him.
If you look at the source code, (and we all have) you will see in the folder \gameui what looks to me like the source for the Steam client. What this means is that if somebody is running the build from that source, he is pretty much running an open source web server, with open ports, with people who want to hack it, (as opposed to the likes of eMule and Bittorrent which is supported by hacker types because as the saying goes “you don’t shit on your own doorstep”) that is able to download, install and execute code. Anyone running this could expect to be hacked so fast and hard they’d think Blaster was the best app ever. This is why Steam and files have been updated 6 times since then.
If HL2 had come out as expected it would have contained some of this compromised code, and what’s more some of us would have been giving it our credit card details!
How the hell could Valve release HL2 after the source code was stolen?
Now they need to re-write the Steam network. Then they have to rebuild all the games the run on it, which obviously includes HL2, and only then can they release. It is no wonder they can only say “a holiday release.”
The one to blame for HL2’s delay, isn’t Valve, isn’t Steam, isn’t nVidia or ATi (who was my bet.), and it isn’t Vivendi. It is the bellend who hacked Valve and stole the source code 2 weeks before launch.
Außerdem wurden ALLE Arbeitscomputer bei Valve infiziert, mit dem Trojaner.
