Giving away your account details in front of a large portion of PC gamers and then challenging them to hack you just to show how strong your password protection is has to be one of the biggest flexes in the history of humanity
@@alexrefes no half life 3, no portal 3 + some other games that are super good but don't have a third entry in the series so him saying 3 is a blessing
Thats actually pretty genius, because it proves what the conference was about (he gave the email and password when he was presenting a security feature)
@@dexxenyrcosas They could just break in & sign in via their phone while they're there, then change the password & sign in on another device at home. Not a good idea because it would be super traceable & Gabe is an extremely rich company owner but they could do it.
I remember when he released this information at CeBIT, This had literally never been done with anything involving money, The whole crowd started shitting bridges because it was so unexpected, Several laptops were opened between the crowd, I presume steam users wanting to test it. Literal golden moment in online security right here ladie 'n gent!
@@AgentLazarus i cannot legally be held responsible for anything i said more than 2 years ago because i wasn't sentient yet good job getting angry over a meaningless 5 year old reply though, we're all very proud of you
@Gomes he wouldn't be able to do it anyway lmao. Gaben is a god programmer. He created valve and have worked in microsoft in high positions. When he was in microsoft, he worked as the team leader who created windows 1, windows 2, and windows 2.1. He also studied at harvard university. Chances are, you're never ever going to be able to break into the account even if you wanted to.
the steam guard code is 5 letters/digits max there is 26 letters and 10 numbers so there is about 256 combinations using only numbers and about 65780 combinations using only letters but steam always include a number so we multiply both and get 16839680 the timer till the combination changes is around 30 seconds you can only input around 10 combinations every 30 seconds so we multiply 30 by 16839680 and we get a chance of 10 / 505190400 equals 1/50519040 chance to actually guess this combination right feel free to let me know if i did anything wrong here
2019: *Still trying to get Gaben’s account* edit: 2020. *s t i l l t r y i n g t o s t e a l G a b e n ‘ s a c c o u n t* edit 2: 2021: I am once again trying to steal Gaben’s account edit Alyx: I tried to steal Gaben’s account once again, because a guy was wondering if I will do it again lol
gets into gabens account send a friend request to your account accept it go to gabens account go to store buy hl3 in the secret games store (for valve members only) select "as a gift" select your account have fun!!
Owen Theoretically yes, if someone was to create a bot that kept randomly guessing several hundred thousand combinations each minute may actually work, even the weakest modern computer could easily generate thousands of random keys each minute with little effort, but they most likely have some type of protection against that. However if you were to guess the code on your own, I say you earned it, because that would be one lucky guess.
DHGM4Z17 Yeah, I know a good number of sites are like that after just a few attempts by a person. It will definitely be scary if bots become more sophisticated.
What happens when you try to hack: Dash Gabe's acc is so pussy K sometimes hard I cant robeeee How 3 steal it? 2spooky4me Lel so hard so mlgg 69spooky420me I CANT DOOO ShiaLeBouf: *JUST DO IT!!!* (Action Music) RARHAHRAHR K, i gonna fap.
@@baconmanthelegend yeah... this was authentication 8+ years ago, when almost no one used authentication and alot of sites didnt have the option for it yet
@@baconmanthelegend When you think like that, yeah. It's not. But then again, lots of big corporations out there with shit loads of money and somehow they are just not capable of doing the most obvious things.
@@Custom2udo It's been 4 years since Epic "gone up," against Steam and their store is basically the same cheap looking shit with minimum improvements. So it's actually impressive that there is a corporation capable of doing the obvious, simple stuff. Most corporations are focused on what they want, rather than what the customer wants.
hes stated his email before right? he probably has a personal email but they should be on the same ip right? track that and people have leaked email password before, get that going, log into the email and get into his steam and play hl3 beta
***** are you kidding me? with the csgo and dota 2 community (to a lesser degree tf2) they are making tons of money. then theres the cut they take from selling games on steam. NOT EVEN THEIR GAMES!! They dont have to make it ever
Solution: somehow find out one of his device's IP address, and if possible, MAC address, (possibly with a NodeMCU, RPI, or Wifi Pineapple) then spoof them on your device. Steam will then recognize your device as his device, and should not ask you to verify with a code.
Everything you just said is incorrect... all you need is the SSFN/sentry file stored on one of Gaben's authorized computers, and bam you're in. If we have Intel IPT based Steam Guard instead of a software token, like the one shown in the video, there is literally no way to steal his account besides gaining access to Gaben's email (easiest vector out of this list), stealing the computer itself, or break Intel IPT (unlikely).
