(Details of hosts' benefits enumerated in link)

Summary:

---

A. ) Hosts do more than AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default) + Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse", or Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...

B. ) Hosts add reliability vs. downed or redirected DNS + secure vs. known malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less added "moving parts" complexity + room 4 breakdown,

C. ) Hosts files yield more speed (blocks ads & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote DNS), security (vs. malicious domains serving mal-content + block spam/phish), reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable DNS, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ ISP level + weak vs FastFlux + DynDNS botnets), & anonymity (vs. dns request logs + DNSBL's).

---

Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ a faster level (ring 0) vs redundant browser addons (slowing up slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ OS, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).

* Addons are more complex + slowup browsers in message passing (use a few concurrently - you'll see) - Addons slowdown SLOWER usermode browsers layering on MORE: I work w/ what you have in kernelmode, via hosts ( A tightly integrated PART of the IP stack itself )

APK

P.S.=> Currently adding 2 features to it:

1.) 'Shearing away' trackers you CAN'T see, via code techniques that emulate a netstat -ano albeit on an automated timer to do so, as I did here on slashdot (much like how "PEERBLOCK" operates, but, not using ADDED COMPLEXITY laying in a filtering driver, but instead, using the native Windows firewall, creating rulesets for that much too)

AND

2.) Making it FASTER on its slowest part (Convert & Filter) by breaking the file into 100 parts (which process FASTER already than doing the single large intake I do currently) by August!

Validly technically disprove 17 points enumerated here http://start64.com/index.php?o...

Since my app's ANYTHING BUT malware!

Heck - it's the best of its kind for added "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" with less single part less moving parts complexity + room for breakdown or exploit in that capacity filter called hosts!

It just does FAR MORE FOR LESS + ESPECIALLY vs. any single browser addon there is!

(Doing so - bonus - @ a faster level of privelege operating in kernelmode vs. SLOW USERMODE + laying on messagepassing overheads browser addons have - especially crippled or 'souled-out' ones...).

* Then, you also have to show any of you "wannabe experts" have done a BETTER more useful tool yourself that does more than my program does for users in added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity as well.

APK

P.S.=> Good luck - you & "your kind" would need a MIRACLE... & that? "Ain't happenin'"... no way, not vs. me, not in a MILLION years - you know it, I absolutely know it, & when everyone reading here sees you "Run, Forrest" RUN!!! from this challenge? They will too... lol, I truly love it!

... apk

You never prove apk's 17 points on hosts wrong http://start64.com/index.php?o... and you're an inferior competitor, malware maker, botnet master, spammer, tracker, advertiser, you name it that apk stops the best way possible that speeds you up noticeably and makes your connection to your favorite places more reliable and faster still by doing that last part? Yea. Ok. "We believe you". Not.

(Is THAT the "best you've got"? Apparently so... lol!)

Instead - Try what's suggested in my 'p.s.' below instead why don't you?

Ah - but, oh yea - that's right: You & "your kind" ALWAYS do a "Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" everytime from THAT little challenge of mine!

Every single time, & lmao - I love it!

(You make ME look GOOD,& yourselves by way of comparison? Well, lol... "not so good"...)

Hosts files do MORE with less for users of them than ANY SINGLE browser addon there is, + @ a faster level of operations & better.

APK

P.S.=> Validly disprove 17 points of fact that are enumerated here -> http://start64.com/index.php?o... that prove custom hosts files give users of them added SPEED, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, & even ANONYMITY online - go for it - you'd need a miracle...

Why they'd troll me with failing ad hominem attack attempts or downmodding me "hit & run" (yet NEVER ever disproving my points in favor of custom hosts giving users of them more SPEED, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, & even ANONYMITY online) etc. used to boggle my mind.

It's a good program -> http://start64.com/index.php?o... that does the job & offers the benefits I enumerate in its download link.

HOWEVER - It doesn't boggle my mind anymore why trolls here do:

Obviously those doing it aremalware makers/botnet masters (I block them refreshed daily from 12 reputable & reliable sources in the security community), advertisers (I block their ads which steal speed you PAID for & infect you with malicious scripts + track you), inferior competitors (Ghostery/AdBlock/RequestPolicy), or webmasters (Pissed I block ads - they're being exploited + I held off on letting my app out (not anymore after that)) & it isn't "Souled-Out" INFERIOR (Adblock & Ghostery) & it shores up security faults in DNS & speeds up resolution of your fav. sites hardcoded in it (faster than remote DNS lookups + secures you vs. DNS request logs + DNSBL)

APK

P.S.=> Well, they're going to do that regardless of their transparent WEAK bullshit - so I just post it again (as I have NO POSTING LIMITS unlike other 'ac' posters here - so they'll run "dry" of their modpoints for unjustifiable downmods, & will be "outta gas" - but, I won't EVER be, & they know it so I just post it again - no more *trying* to vainly "hide" my posts (which most here see anyhow)... lmao!

Obviously those doing it aremalware makers/botnet masters (I block them refreshed daily from 12 reputable & reliable sources in the security community), advertisers (I block their ads which steal speed you PAID for & infect you with malicious scripts + track you), inferior competitors (Ghostery/AdBlock/RequestPolicy), or webmasters (Pissed I block ads - they're being exploited + I held off on letting my app out (not anymore after that)) & it isn't "Souled-Out" INFERIOR (Adblock & Ghostery) & it shores up security faults in DNS & speeds up resolution of your fav. sites hardcoded in it (faster than remote DNS lookups + secures you vs. DNS request logs + DNSBL)

APK

P.S.=> Well, they're going to do that regardless of their transparent WEAK bullshit - so I just post it again (as I have NO POSTING LIMITS unlike other 'ac' posters here - so they'll run "dry" of their modpoints for unjustifiable downmods, & will be "outta gas" - but, I won't EVER be, & they know it so I just post it again - no more *trying* to vainly "hide" my posts (which most here see anyhow)... lmao! They're idiots trying to do futile b.s., that's all...

.. apk

To validly technically disprove 17 points in favor of hosts listed here http://start64.com/index.php?o... proving how hosts give users more SPEED, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, & even ANONYMITY... ok?

* :)

Thing is?

Well, look at your bullshit reply!

Heck - I know DAMN WELL you can't... lol!

Since "the best you got" = bogus downmods + weak futile effete failed ad hominem attack attempts - nothing more!

(Both of which dimwits like you used here, no biggie, I just post it again as I have NO POSTING LIMITS even as an AC here)

However -you & those LIKE you troll, never EVER disprove my points validly!

APK

P.S.=> Thanks - since fools like YOU make ME look GOOD & yourselves by way of comparison? Well, lol - "not so good"...

B. ) Hosts add reliability vs. downed or redirected DNS + secure vs. known malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less added "moving parts" complexity + room 4 breakdown,

C. ) Hosts files yield more speed (blocks ads & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote DNS), security (vs. malicious domains serving mal-content + block spam/phish), reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable DNS, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ ISP level + weak vs FastFlux + DynDNS botnets), & anonymity (vs. dns request logs + DNSBL's).

* Addons are more complex + slowup browsers in message passing (use a few concurrently - you'll see) - Addons slowdown SLOWER usermode browsers layering on MORE: I work w/ what you have in kernelmode, via hosts ( A tightly integrated PART of the IP stack itself )

APK

P.S.=> Currently adding 2 features to it:

1.) 'Shearing away' tracker you CAN'T see, via code techniques that emulate a netstat -ano albeit on an automated timer to do so, as I did here on slashdot (much like how "PEERBLOCK" operates, but, not using ADDED COMPLEXITY laying in a filtering driver, but instead, using the native Windows firewall, creating rulesets for that much too)

AND

2.) Making it FASTER on its slowest part (Convert & Filter) by breaking the file into 100 parts (which process FASTER already than doing the single large intake I do currently) by August!

You're MORE THAN WELCOME to disprove 17 points of fact on great benefits using a hosts file gives users in added SPEED, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, & even ANONYMITY for end-users of them, enumerated here -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...

Since you're running from this: You ran from disproving 17 points in favor of hosts files giving users more SPEED, SECURITY, RELIABLITY, & ANONYMITY that I enumerated here -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...

P.S.=> You were challenged to do so here http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... and for all posts afterwards (5-6) you pulled a "Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" rather than face that challenge (which you clearly can't - since it's impossible to disprove my points & it makes you look even more stupid, lmao)...

... apk

It's more than YOU have, that's certain & it fixes your "choice' in DNS & its security issues in redirection issues (kaminsky flaw), vs. FastFluix + Dynamic DNS using botnets too ( & it also speeds you up for resolutions since hosts = 1st resolver queried, locally vs. remotely slower mind you, & in RAM, cached).

FUNNY YOU CAN'T DISPROVE THE 17 POINTS IN FAVOR OF CUSTOM HOSTS FILE USAGE IN GIVING USERS MORE SPEED, SECURITY, RELIABLITY, & ANONYMITY I enumerated here -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...

P.S.=> Here's more (another 6 ontop of the last 4 = 10/100 so far) of what I CAN show you, as to who uses hosts here on /. & why (every p.s. in our conversation will have more):

"Better than an ad blocker, imo. Hosts file entries: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp200... " - by TempestRose (1187397) on Tuesday March 15, @12:53PM (#35493274)

"^^ One of the many reasons why I like the user-friendliness of the /etc/hosts file." - by lennier1 (264730) on Saturday March 05, @09:26PM (#35393448)

"They've been on my HOSTS block for years" - by ScottCooperDotNet (929575) on Thursday August 05 2010, @01:52AM (#33147212)

"I'm currently only using my hosts file to block pheedo ads from showing up in my RSS feeds and causing them to take forever to load. Regardless of its original intent, it's still a valid tool, when used judiciously." - by Bill Dog (726542) on Monday April 25, @02:16AM (#35927050)

"you're right about hosts files" - by drinkypoo (153816) on Thursday May 26, @01:21PM (#36252958)

See subject-line, "& tell us another one" about how reliable DNS is.

Ever heard of DNS Amplification attacks too?

How about "FastFlux" &/or Dynamic DNS utilizing botnets (as well as rogue DNS servers they use also)??

* Guess what cures these things (making your connect more reliable)? You guessed it: Custom HOSTS files!

P.S.=> You're also MORE THAN WELCOME to disprove 17 points of fact on great benefits using a hosts file gives you in added SPEED, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, & even ANONYMITY for end-users of them, enumerated here -> http://start64.com/index.php?o... (Good luck - you'll NEED it: More like a miracle...)

(Details of hosts' benefits enumerated in link)

Summary:

---

A. ) Hosts do more than AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default) + Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse", or Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...

B. ) Hosts add reliability vs. downed or redirected DNS + secure vs. known malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less added "moving parts" complexity + room 4 breakdown,

C. ) Hosts files yield more speed (blocks ads & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote DNS), security (vs. malicious domains serving mal-content + block spam/phish), reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable DNS, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ ISP level + weak vs FastFlux + DynDNS botnets), & anonymity (vs. dns request logs + DNSBL's).

---

Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ a faster level (ring 0) vs redundant browser addons (slowing up slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ OS, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).

* Addons are more complex + slowup browsers in message passing (use a few concurrently - you'll see) - Addons slowdown SLOWER usermode browsers layering on MORE: I work w/ what you have in kernelmode, via hosts ( A tightly integrated PART of the IP stack itself )

I work with what you have, natively (& I don't "BOLT ON" more b.s., like you obviously do... & what's in my 'p.s.' below can prove that much, easily!)

P.S.=> Now, CPU ticks? Ok - load a few browser addons in FireFox & see what happens (lmao - talk about CONSUMING excessive CPU cycles in messagepassing overheads - that is a KNOWN issue with browser addons, that also don't do a FRACTION of what custom hosts files can for end users noted above)... apk
