Courtesy of "yours truly" & my skills in coding (you don't have) http://start64.com/index.php?o...

Since you avoided my fair question earlier (where you said I don't use DNS, yet I do, in OpenDNS since they @ least filter & use DNSSEC unlike most, AND patched vs. Kaminsky flaw)?

Show us, FIRST, where I said I don't use DNS... ok? You can't, since I do... but?

I overcome DNS weaknesses you don't DARE dispute idiot (kaminsky flaw unpatched on ISP dns servers, like 99% of them, & also "fastflux" + dynDNS using botnets exploiting DNS like mad too...).

How?

Simple - Custom hosts OVERCOME redirect security weaknesses all of those exploiters employ... easily.

Plus?

Custom hosts EVEN GET YOU PAST "slashdot beta" they FORCE on you registered 'lusers' too, which s a redirect as well, and unwanted one (they were doing it to ME too, as an ac, but I beat it with hosts easily) and they do FAR MORE for users in added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity online (that other browser addons 'competitors' can't even BEGIN to touch, period). Fact.

(Slashdot beta, which many here clearly don't want -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... shown in that exchange)

P.S.=> By the way: ANYTIME you feel "up to it"? You're MORE THAN WELCOME to validly technically dispute & DISPROVE my 17 enumerated points on hosts' value to end users of them, shown here http://start64.com/index.php?o... Which I KNOW DAMN WELL you're unable to do (it's imnposisble is why - I cannot be outsmarted by DOLTS that infest this place, lol)... apkItemid=74

How? This (what you can't touch, can't hurt you) - 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):

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).

P.S.=> Reposting this since the technical invalids around here (lol) couldn't VALIDLY technically disprove my points on hosts giving uses more speed, security, reliability & anonymity with less moving parts complexity + room for breakdown or WASTE (of cpu cycles, ram, & other forms of I/O wasted on faulty products like Windows' DNS cache OR DNS itself) & downmodded me effetely instead! apk

Absolutely current, from 12 reputable & reliable sources http://start64.com/index.php?o... (which are in the security community itself as my sources no less).

So, thus?

No "real effort" required, just a few minutes of your time (less than say, a disk defrag running, by far).

Bit of advice - don't *try me* on this - too many have, & I've floored EVERY ONE, every time!

It's up to you, but then, the beating will continue on you.

Facts will do the job.

(& the weak b.s. you've told me "you've done"? LMAO... child's play crap... do you REALLY think that impresses ME? I've done WORLDS over that in my time in this field since 1982 pal, on MANY platforms from mainframes, to midranges, into the client-server world of today - want to compare?

1.) Moving hosts around network nodes/workstations = cake via logon scripts OR even a centrally located server scheduling updates via scheduled tasks - take your pick, either way, it's simple.

2.) "Future-Proofing"? You mean GOOGLE's SO AFRAID of hosts they REMOVED it (& it's a std. PART of the IP stack on everything else)...

3.) Random access? WTF would you NEED IT FOR??

4.) HERE IS THE BIG ONE:

DNS != Superior - DO YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN DNS GETS "REDIRECTED"?

a.) Look up the Kaminsky flaw (& even though there IS A PATCH?? Most ISPs (like 99%) HAVEN'T IMPLEMENTED THE PATCH, due to difficulties with MX records setup iirc).

b.) Do you ALSO know how many "rogue" DNS servers there are that malware use?

c.) Ever heard of "FastFlux" &/or Dynamic DNS using botnets too??

BOTH take advantage of DNS flaws rampantly (in easily being redirected to FALSE look-alike hijack sites).

APK

P.S.=> I *may* be caught in the 80's according to you, but, you've been CAUGHT FLAT-FOOTED BEATEN, point-by-so-called-"point" of yours above...

&

You STILL HAVEN'T DISPROVEN 17 points I list here in favor of hosts, giving users of them more speed, security, reliaiblity, & even anonymity @ all, whatsoever -> http://start64.com/index.php/6...

Obviously you can't disprove apk's on hosts files superiority over adblock. ghostery, requestpolicy and the fact it fixes faults in dns too with less complexity, redundancy, and less moving parts he extolls here in 17 points http://start64.com/index.php/6... so you can spout your arbitrary opinion all day long but facts apk used work where your off topic crap doesn't against them. Every time he challenges his naysayers to disprove those points, they do what you do. Troll b.s.

I make it so, via this program of mine http://start64.com/index.php/6...

* :)

So, IF a site changes its IP address (usually due to host provider switches, which is RARE, & GOOD SITES LET YOU KNOW they are doing so too, no less)? No biggie... when I update my hosts file using my app, my fav. sites are ALSO updated, fresh, too!

APK

P.S.=> & there ya go... FACT:I do FAR MORE with LESS (vs. weak crippled & "SOULED-OUT" so-callled INFERIOR 'competitors' do in browser addons as well as SHORING UP DNS FAULTS), by far - & CLARITYRAY isn't going to stop hosts files users - but it WILL STOP ADBLOCK (& that, IS that)... apk

I know the HISTORY of the language moron (& I even use it, do you? Doubt it).

P.S.=> Take a peek, & "eat your words" dumbass -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...

... apk

Borland Delphi Object Pascal 7.1 to be precise (?) -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...

* :)

(Great language & IDE - does everything pretty much that C++ can do (except multiple inheritance) & as EASILY as VB... best of BOTH worlds, in 1 tool!)

APK

P.S.=> It's my favorite, & has been, since it "stole me away" from MSVC++ &/or MSVB circa 1997, when Delphi "knocked the chocolate" out of them BOTH in 7/10 tests (especially MATH & STRING work, where it literally DOUBLED & THEN SOME its score in the tests over MSVC++ even...) done, no less, in a competing trade journal (Visual Basic Programmer's Journal Sept./Oct. 1997 issue "Inside the VB 5 Compiler")...

... apk

Try THIS on for size (a good mix of OOP & Procedural) http://start64.com/index.php?o...

* The GOOD results it yields for users of it enumerated there? Undeniable...

APK

P.S.> The "infamous 'they'" say "A picture paints a 1,000 words" well... that, literally was "painted in" roughly 35,000 hand-written lines of Object-Pascal 7.1 (stayed away from 3rd party libs a 'competitor' of mine uses etc. & only API stuff used with the language itself) - says more, by far, as to your judgement... apk

It's SLOWER, period (which you concede): So, there's no question of what I said: It's part of the why of WHY I wrote my app (does more, with less, by far) -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...

Why do things in ring 0/rpl 0/kernelmode vs. ring 3/rpl 3/usermode? Speed... heck, that's why I'd do it there too - if you're NOT?? Then, you're obviously NOT interested in maximum performance AND in actually SLOWING THINGS DOWN, needlessly!

WTF do you NEED TO MOVE IP STACK WORK INTO USERMODE SLOWNESS (vs. kernelmode speed, as Microsoft did the right thing for IIS6 http.sys, moving it from usermode SLOW into kernelmode FAST), when the IP stack's stable, mature, & PROVEN over nearly 50 yrs.? Answer = you DON'T - It detracts from performance, bigtime...

ALL YOUR DOWNMODS OF MY POSTS DON'T CHANGE A THING EITHER, TROLLS: You FAILED vs. myself, as always, due to your LIMITED brains being quite blantantly obviously, inferior.

APK

P.S.=> Anyhow, these trolls always *TRY* to "give me guff" & by ac posts... why bother? All they DO is make ME look GOOD & themselves?? Well... lol, "not so good"... apk

You're MORE THAN WELCOME to disprove 17 enumerated points in favor of custom hosts files giving users more speed, security, reliability & even anonymity, right here http://start64.com/index.php?o...

* :)

(Good luck - you'll NEED it... lol, more like a miracle, because you're fellow "naysayers" aren't faring too well on ANY front, especially those of mathematics, operating system subsystems & speed gains, + more here -> http://science.slashdot.org/co... AND here too http://science.slashdot.org/co...

Keep "thinking inside the box" & depending SOLELY on faulty systems like DNS (kaminsky flaw anyone? Redirect poisoning like MAD, & 99% of ISPs aren't patched vs. it no less...)

or

Using more moving parts complexity & usermode slowness (e.g. almost all ads blocked crippled by default layering on MORE on browsers, slowing them up in messagepassing overheads in usermode)

or

Faultiness (windows own local dns clientside cache faults with larger hosts files & yes, in slow usermode too)...

All that, vs. myself using a FAR FASTER kernelmode based solution (tcpip.sys/IP stack & the diskcaching kernelmode subsystem vs. SLOWER usermode dns clientside faulty cache in Windows)..

APK

P.S.=> So, let's see you disprove EVERY SINGLE ONE of those 17 points I have enumerated in the link to my program... ok?

BEST YOU HAD's IN MY SUBJECT-LINE ABOVE & your std. "Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" crap + downmodding THIS very challenge... You fail, weaklings!

(LMAO - You ran, & unjustifiably downmodded me last time instead here http://science.slashdot.org/co... - well, fuck you, cowards - here it is, again... IN YOUR FACE!)...
