How to cause a segfault 101 (potential security hole)
Hello!
If typing "exit" in console is too conventional for you, here is another way to close your game (via a segfault):
Yay, access violation!
I haven't checked PostArray, RenderModelArray, PointArray, etc.
This is a potential security hole, as you can read any of the game's memory (using the bit library to extract the values from the floats).
Though, the only sensitive thing I can think of is the current Steam/VAC client auth key, which could be used to impersonate someone on another server (SteamID and all, just like in GMod a while back).
Edit:
I used this thead to request a modding feature, but have now moved it to its own thread:

local boneCoords = Client.GetLocalPlayer()
local coords = boneCoords:Get(9999999)
Print("%s", tostring(coords.origin.x))
Yay, access violation!

You can also read arbitrary memory in the game using this one.
