Re:Trying to put words in my mouth.. apk
So, then, you are admitting the hosts file is not effective at blocking botnet c&c channels. Take that out of your list of extravagant claims of the benefits of hosts files.
How many times is a dumbshit like YOU going to *try* pull that on me, menial? Are there hostnames here that are still online?? Yes, ZEUS botnet (as a SINGLE example) https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/m...
If your approach only blocks 5-10% of domain names, then it is NOT effective for security. This might fly in your shareware consumer world, but that is not enterprise-grade.
Any OTHER kind, such as the edge case RARE types you noted (out of 'desperation') MY SECURITY GUIDE catches via Layered Security/Defense in Depth practices -> http://forums.pcpitstop.com/in...
You DO NOT HAVE A SECURITY GUIDE. I actually looked for it, and the closest I could find was where you posted it, but everybody thought you were an idiot and banned you. Not what I would call "success."
"Sounds like you've washed out of every job you've had."
Wouldn't matter, since if YOU are 'state of the art' in "security engineers" (allegedly)? You suck...
Yeah, you have totally washed out of every job you had, and now you've been an author of (shitty) shareware. Found this gem:
So you don't even understand UNIX. You are quite the security professional.
When I FRY weasels like YOU on a forums as I have here? Sure, they get pissed & have to 'kick me'...
You have been banned from almost every forum you've ever joined. Like when you were banned in 2000 from arstechnica, and rejoined as a different name to defend yourself. Or when you were banned after trying to spam your shitty security guide in 2007.
The best thing I could find anyone say about you, from a friend, was:
Vortac said:
The only thing I don't like about him (although I've gotten over it), is he thinks everyone is an idiot. He just hasn't had any real experience, deadlines to meet, or being a team player within an organization.
And the worst thing is, you're a really shitty programmer!
For my Hosts Engine, I chose Object Pascal since it's beaten even MSVC++ in strings work which my app does HEAVILY - dumb thing for you to say:
Funny, because you got called out for very poorly performing code (that just sorted some strings and took 11 minutes) here. And here are the kinds of things people said about your code a few years ago:
Man with no head wrote:
Of course spamming forums with publicity ads is kind of lame; don't take it personally, but you brought it upon yourself.
Now as regarding the actual package, I find the UI kind of weird and you don't seem to be following Windows UI guidelines (That's a no-no in Tog speak).
The feature set is kind of questionable; I fail to see the real value of your product really.
And to finish my rant, I got these errors on startup on my Win2k SRV SP1 system.

http://forums.pcpitstop.com/in...
I understand when you BLOCK SOURCES OF INFESTATION via those practices you're very safe.
See that guide, it does that!
It uses hosts & layered security (best thing we have + security pros GALORE back me on that) & my program works FINE on more modern versions of Windows (2000/XP/Server 2003/7/Vista, possibly beyond, but nobody uses 8-10, by choice (poor sales)).

Misquoting me AGAIN? LEARN TO READ! What's in my LAYERED SECURITY GUIDE DOES blocks infestation vectors!
It shows how to cut off the sources of infestation & firewalls + hosts (which security pros GALORE backed me on vs. your bs, fool) do the rest even stopping infected systems from "talking back" to their C&C controllers (think Iron Man in Avengers 1 killing the central command in the black hole).

Javascript performs excellently
At delivering malware payloads even in your adbanners. Yes everyone: The brilliant brainiacs that decided scripting documents was "smart to do" just ends up screwing you over in the end. Especially funny since they had the example of macros in documents (like MS Word ones) beforehand and saw how that ended up working out too in malware galore being delivered via those scriptable documents. Why not open up the door and let the trash come blowing in next! Might as well, since the material you consume comes loaded with it because of this idiot's move.

(They are dangerous -> http://techtalk.pcpitstop.com/2013/06/26/malware-more-likely-to-come-from-legitimate-sites/?know-notenough= if that source isn't enough I can provide CISCO stating the same)
Most are Dynamic DNS + FastFlux based botnet attacks & are host-domain based (hard to kill vs. IP address based ones & it is the predominant design for malware/botnets).
I operate @ the IP stack level via tcpip.sys since hosts is a filter for it in Ring 0/RPL 0/kernelmode far before (& faster than) browser addons in Ring 3/RPL 3/usermode (which slow down usermode browsers even more - fact).
Complaint to
Anyhow/anyways: FireFox users have NoScript - use it!
I use Opera 12.16 64-bit & set its GLOBAL site preference default to NO javascript, plugins, cookies, frames/iframes - in essence, things that get actively exploited maliciously (and then IF needed for full function on a site, then, as an "exception site"? I turn it on ONLY for that site only (think ecommerce or online banking etc.)).
Combining hosts & no javascript works (on smartphones since they have a bsd ip stack)!

P.S.=> I also surf far, Far, FAR faster too not seeing adbanners or processing javascript - in fact, if you take a look @ the list of enumerated benefits it yields in added speed, security, reliability (vs. DNS faults especially) & even anonymity to an extent?

-
Did I state it DIDN'T?
No... in fact, I stated it COSTS, big http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3339513&cid=42390907 AND, I pointed out the companies (huge money makers) doing it successfully!
There's probably others, those are my 2 "prime examples thereof" is all... AND?
NOTE - I also posted OTHER METHODS too (for Windows users though)...
Methods that do NOT require 'huge bandwidth' & OC12 pipes to do it (ala the registry hack settings mitigations recommend by Microsoft for TCP/IP stack hardening).
Your point??
I appreciate your information, but - I find your tone to be one that's attempting to "condescend" to me, while you overlook ALL/EACH of my points!
Ok, but... I am WELL aware of how it works - since I have been fighting vs. crooks online for more than a decade now, actively (unlike MOST others, mere "armchair QB's" & critics galore but not much on being 'chefs') - see below.
So, yes - I KNOW HOW IT ALL WORKS & how the pricks that abuse people, companies, & nations work...
Plus - I am out there DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT - actively now, & for YEARS before it, just like my parent post here was intended to be, because the methods work... see below too, I don't like stating things without some proof of my words (unlike the trolls I have smoked here today).

As much as you can (to a point as needed only of course for certain use-cases)!
Face it, I use ALL of this - I wrote it:
& practically wrote the book on "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" on PC's per that guide... sound cocky? Read on...
(Nice part is the above, one day getting sick of seeing malware run rampage on many folks systems, knowing I was never "hit" since 1995-1996 doing that guide? Well, turned out nice & got me paid a tiny fee on 1 spot it did well in)
It began way, Way, WAY back in 1996 or so... proof here:

APK reacts FINE (it's not my "sole existence")
Just fine - I've done a number of posts on the source site already, posting portions of what I have here a ton of times (mind you, which my "skeptic naysayers" here haven't disproven a single shred of to date)... I'm just waiting for the page to update for responses I gave others there (takes time on some boards, part of what I LIKE about
It's not a "demise" by the by - MS Sec Essentials is the KEY "workaround"... so you know. There's another I posted but it hasn't come up yet there (databasepath parm in tcp/ip parms in registry & redirecting it).
You obviously also aren't aware of some of my posts over time here. I've been "into" a LOT more than hosts my man... a LOT more. I'll post some for YOUR reference after this post as an "addendum"... fair enough? Good.
Anyways:
Do I *like* what I saw on Win8 there? Heck no... especially NOT on hosts files!
However/Then again??
MS "fanboy" extraordinaire here or not??
I don't think much of Win8, due to "METRO"! Man, I've said it before - MS has to get rid of Mr. Ballmer & his crew responsible for it... too far, too fast, not enough market on PC's yet for touch screen (tablets, & phones, yes... PC OS? No!)
Not that he's some evil guy, in fact, I hear he's a hell of a NICE guy who's great @ grooming mgt. talent (& that's also from an MS mgt. man named Foredecker who posts here or did). I've said this many times here before in fact.
However - He's not a "King Billy" calibre man, who was a computer coder/technologist AND business man... that's what MS needs.
Fact is - of ALL the MS guys I am aware of, personally or otherwise?
I hope Russinovich, former "co-worker" of mine thru Sunbelt where we sold wares together takes over 1 day. We've had diff.'s over time, but he'd get MY vote.
Anyways - Pity is, Win8 "under-the-covers" is BETTER than Win7 even in a LOT of ways, such as "self-terminating services"!
(Which tuners/tweakers like myself have been into for decades, ala my guides for it from 1997 onwards, & I'd be as bold to say they WERE the 1st of their kind, as I have yet to find older ones).

"Security-By-Obscurity" - lack of users = lack of attacks. Android proves otherwise though, especially for Linux variants, where it is "king of the smartphone world", OS-wise, & is being attacked rampantly.

Sure, with a bit of education & good easy to use tools to help them thru it, such as CIS Tool ( http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9018362/CIS_tool_aims_to_help_federal_agencies_check_Windows_security_settings ) &/or guides like this one I did in 2007 onwards (& I've been doing them since 1997):

Can't secure Windows? Beg to differ!
"Simple fact is, Linux is as secure as you make it, but you cannot make windows secure." - by mSparks43 (757109) on Monday December 26, @01:32PM (#38495636) Homepage
Per my subject-line above, I practically "wrote the book" on it -> http://www.bing.com/search?q=%22HOW+TO+SECURE+Windows+2000%2FXP%22&go=&qs=ns&form=QBLH
To "immunize" a Windows system, I effectively use the principles in "layered security" possibles!
http://www.bing.com/search?q=%22HOW+TO+SECURE+Windows+2000%2FXP%22&go=&form=QBRE
I.E./E.G.-> I have done so since 1997-1998 with the most viewed, highly rated guide online for Windows security there really is which came from the fact I also created the 1st guide for securing Windows, highly rated @ NEOWIN (as far back as 1998-2001) here:
http://www.neowin.net/news/apk-a-to-z-internet-speedup--security-text
& from as far back as 1997 -> http://web.archive.org/web/20020205091023/www.ntcompatible.com/article1.shtml which Neowin above picked up on & rated very highly.
That has evolved more currently, into the MOST viewed & highly rated one there is for years now since 2008 online in the 1st URL link above...
Which has well over 500,000++ views online (actually MORE, but 1 site with 75,000 views of it went offline/out-of-business) & it's been made either:
---
1.) An Essential Guide
2.) 5-5 star rated
3.) A "sticky-pinned" thread
4.) Most viewed in the category it's in (usually security)
5.) Got me PAID by winning a contest @ PCPitStop (quite unexpectedly - I was only posting it for the good of all, & yes, "the Lord works in mysterious ways", it even got me PAID -> http://techtalk.pcpitstop.com/2007/09/04/pc-pitstop-winners/ (see January 2008))---
Across 15-20 or so sites I posted it on back in 2008... & here is the IMPORTANT part, in some sample testimonials to the "layered security" methodology efficacy:

Re:AC troll that "kicked my ass" (lol, NOT)
Oh poor poor poor Peter, There is a World PR conspiracy against you
I'll paraphrase though:
It just takes one unknowing slashdoter or Windows PR flack to plus-moderate any comment (i.e. APK's rant). Unfortunately, once PR agencies and so on started paying people to moderate online communities, and to have hundreds of accounts each, things changed
And could you be kind enough to remind us exactly WHY you got banned from that website : pcpitstop.com after they realized that you should never ever have won that 100$ prize ? (if you even give me the links needed to kick your ass again and again, it won't be funny anymore Peter)
Oh, by the way, so that everyone knows, Peter/APK is convinced that Duqu attacks Microsoft Office through Word Macro and goes as far as calling people trolls and whatnot when they kindly point out his mistake (it's a TrueType Font problem Peter, do your homeworks) ! That tells you how knowledgeable he is

Agreed, 110%... apk
You won't hear an argument/debate from me on what you said, because I am in utter full agreement with it.

P.S.=> Been "locking them all down" since the mid 90's in fact, per guides like these I have offered for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/7/Server 2008 users:
