sc0rpi0 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Kind of a simple concept...here it is anyway. It's a batch file which replaces a site for another on a computer. For example, using this tool, I could make it so that when I go to www.yahoo.com, I am given the page www.msn.com Not really hacking...but interesting nevertheless. http://www.mediafire.com/?9u91xnjypgz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911alertme Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 This same thing gets posted twice on the same forum but in two different places. It gets shot down in one place and he is encouraged and it is told it is neat in another. Weird. The other one can be found at http://forums.hak5.org/index.php/topic,8372.0.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah, noticed that this morning, he double posted it. Aside form the point that a "HOSTS" file in windows has been around since the OS came with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc0rpi0 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Topics merged. Please do not double post again. Please accept my sincere apologies. I generally post all my stuff in the usb hacks forum. After posting, I noticed that this doesn't really go under the category of usb drive hacks, so I posted it in "Hacks and Mods" which I thought was a better place to put it. Sorry again if this caused any inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc0rpi0 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 having some trouble with the unblocking part though lol, oops? I guess my little sisters sure is gonna be mad at me for blocking barbiegirl.com I am working on a better unblocking part of the program. For the moment, I just have the HOSTS file you need to edit pop up. As stated by another member of this forum, when the file pops up, just delete the bottom line and save the file. Please mention any simpler methods of unblocking a site. Here's an example of how the bottom line might look if you replaced the barbie site with hak5: 74.208.74.96 www.barbiegirls.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 You need to reset the cached dns entries: ipconfig /flushdns but because windows is rather rubbish been explicit like that often will fail. Restarting the OS is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felony_destined Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 its not that serious... and anyways I have restarted browser &still nothing, didnt feel like restarting the whole OS because I had other processes running and flushdns I didnt even think of that o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this doesn't work, restart your computer. If neither works, boy, something is downright wrong with your computer. Make sure that the changes to the hosts file were saved and that an av didn't block you re-editing it. Sorry if this has caused you any trouble.

I always kill processes in task manager just because its seems to close things alot more swifter than the "red X" method C. Any changes that I make to the host file effects all users of the system, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 first IE is a perfectly good borwser so get of your high horse second ever wonder why it takes longer when you use the red x? it's because it allows the program time to clean up and exit nicely ending processes in your way is bad for you the program and can be bad for the computer (but you knew that by the warning that pops up) and yest host files affects the entire system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
