I can confirmed legitimacy of these executables.
get_good is a python program to sync builds, not a cheat.
Something weird just happened again, looks like CS:GO Source 2 executables going around, someone just sent me them, and it's legit.

Recap of last night's CSGO Source 2 / CS2 updates
1. Valve added a "Limited Test Build" launch option to the CS:GO app, which uses "cs2.exe" as the executable, and requires owning app 2279720 for it to show up.
2. They created another private branch "dprp", normally it's "dpr".

🚨 CS2 added a new cvar that improves frame times when using fps_max and fixes world rendering appearing to stutter.
engine_low_latency_sleep_after_client_tick true
It's off by default. Try it, did it improve things for you?

Seems like CS2 hardcoded the tickrate in the client binary, so even if server binary is patched (they got rid of GetTickInterval function which made this easy), it shouldn't matter.
Valve should be improving stuff that is subpar, rather than bruteforcing it with 128 tick.

GameTracking is cool, ran by yours truly.
They also added new depots to the CS:GO app in preparation for S2. 2279721 is the workshop tools dlc. Similar setup to the Dota app.

Talked to some map makers, Valve asks map makers to create a hidden skin so they can set up workshop revenue flow. Then Valve creates "payments" in the item schema, which ends up linked to said workshop item.
Basically a hack to pay mappers as if they submitted a skin.

Why are you limiting verified accounts if verification was supposed to solve the bot issue?
To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:
- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day

Besides the free armor bug this commands allows you to do, but you can also refund outside of the buyzone, after the buytime has expired.
Also refunding while controlling a bot gives you the money.
There is an undocumented "sellback" command which you can use to refund all items.
alias "refundall" "sellback 0;sellback 1;sellback 2;sellback 3;sellback 4;sellback 5;sellback 6;sellback 8;sellback 9;sellback 10;sellback 11;sellback 12;sellback 13;sellback 14;sellback

If it will read installed game on disk, that should also avoid the decryption step for each chunk.
