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).

"I've found a way to go one better than HOSTS" - by hairyfeet (841228) on Thursday January 09, 2014 @06:17AM (#45905359)

AdBlock doesn't block ALL ads by default anymore & AdBlock can't do @ least 12 things hosts can -> http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=4127345&cid=44684319 for better speed, security, reliability vs. DNS issues, & even anonymity.

---

* Plus, users get all the things for added speed, security, reliability vs. DNS faults, & even anonymity hosts provide, that browser addons don't do (without slowing up the browser itself in usermode/ring 3/rpl 3 since hosts run as a filter for the IP stack in kernelmode/ring 0/rpl 0 - faster).

ONLY good I have to say about addons is they promote "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" in combo w\ hosts - but not anymore (almost all ads blocked by default).

E.G.-> I used to suggest AdBlock in security guides I authored 1997-2008 for Windows users -> http://www.bing.com/search?q=%22HOW+TO+SECURE+Windows+2000%2FXP%22&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=%22how+to+secure+windows+2000%2Fxp%22&sc=1-31&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=076184f3eb324595b50361c6f7a08236

APK

P.S.=> To each his own: NEVER THOUGHT you'd 'drop' your own DNS (but dns is loaded with issues, & yes, ones hosts DO shore up & overcome) & you're doing what I do (OpenDNS here) + they do eat CPU, RAM, & other forms of I/O that other solutions, don't (hosts)... apk

It helps to "sharpen the sword" working on projects OTHER than work-related ones is why (broadening your skillset) & it can even MAKE you a few "extra bucks" on-the-side as well: BONUS!

(Which you'd NEVER KNOW, until you 'stick your neck out there' & try it... & yes, "been there/done that" a dozen times in my professional career as a programmer, some code even going into commercial wares later from such efforts)

Soooo - you NEVER know, until you try, in other words... it CAN & DOES happen (with a little work, luck, & perseverance)... but, you have to MAKE it happen, too.

* :)

(So, do I believe this? Absolutely - I lived it, & imo @ least? The BETTER coders, do the same... & like it. Without that "last ingredient"?? I'd recommend going into another line of work - you've got to enjoy what you do, imo, in order to be successful @ it!).

APK

P.S.=> I haven't coded FULL-TIME in, oh... nearly 4 yrs. now, due to getting into OTHER means of income (to which coding jobs were merely a financial 'stepping-stone' like college investment was for coding, for me & for example) - but I did like it most of the time (sure, had 'writers-block' etc. @ times too, hating it also), & would I go back? Sure, IF the "price was right"... however , in the meantime?? Yes - I still do "sharpening the sword", ala -> http://start64.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5851:apk-hosts-file-engine-64bit-version&catid=26:64bit-security-software&Itemid=74

"In mid-November, Microsoft unveiled a facility on its Redmond, Wash., campus that had become the new home for its Digital Crimes Unit. It took the opportunity to offer up new details about the multi-agency initiative that disrupted the huge Citadel botnet earlier this year" - from article source -> http://www.itworld.com/cloud-computing/394553/how-azure-helps-microsoft-take-down-cyber-criminals

Citadel's STILL alive though -> https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/monitor.php?filter=lastupdated

(Sinkholing, while effective, doesn't ALWAYS work... that's proof...)

It's also WHY I almost never remove validly known botnet C&C Servers (malware-in-general etc.) in my custom hosts file @ 2,199,119++ entries strong & growing daily.

Why? Fastflux & Dynamic DNS utilizing botnets is why. They recycle/reuse them. Even if only "eventually" after long periods. So not responding to pings (easily faked in TCP parameters), or just not being up currently? Doesn't prove a valid testbed for removal either since that occurs.

I.E.-> Want to *try* to recycle them to use vs. me? Good luck - I'm "pre-covered" with data since 1997...

APK

P.S.=> I get the data & merge it with my existing hosts file (built since 1997) via this app I created in 32/64-bit code http://start64.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5851:apk-hosts-file-engine-64bit-version&catid=26:64bit-security-software&Itemid=74 to make the impossible for 1 person alone to do import-> deduplication & normalization filtering stages with that many entries vs. a 24-hour period - especially to combat this threat but it's only a partial reason why I use hosts. They give added speed, security, reliability vs. DNS hijack or failure, & even added "anonymity" to an extent if you wish as a "side-effect" of speedup & reliability features they yield...

DNS servers = MORE complexity & set "recursive mode" (for updates) exposes the Kaminsky bug (- patch) & DNS = WEAK vs. "fastflux" botnets!

AdBlock doesn't DO 1/12th as much as hosts files for users in added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity (to an extent only on the latter vs. DNS request logs)

(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/comments.pl?sid=4127345&cid=44701775

B. ) Hosts add reliability vs. downed or redirected DNS + secure vs. known malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3985079&cid=44310431 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): I work w/ what you have in kernelmode, via hosts ( A tightly integrated PART of the IP stack itself )

APK

P.S.=> Hosts = "2-for-the-price-of-1" (less) vs. DNS & AdBlock... apk

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):

APK

P.S.=> Enjoy - it's a 100% freebie, & works (better than the competition - ESPECIALLY REGARDING POINT "B" ABOVE & DNS WEAKNESS + Adblock & other addons inferiority on many grounds - but, especially SPECIFICALLY regarding your post (hosts shore up DNS' faults in redirects via Kaminsky flaw poisoning (or vs. fastflux using botnets that take advantage of DNS' abusing it & exploiting you))

However - You'd need MORE than that though: More like a miracle...

No - there's NO technically correct & valid way you can & you know it, I know it - as does anyone else reading with 1/2 a brain...!

(So, instead, the "best you've got" is BOGUS technically unjustifiable downmods of my posts on hosts, & nothing more... losers).

APK

P.S.=> Bottom-line: You WEAK trolls always make me laugh (especially considering that "Run, Forrest: RUN!" vs. my challenge to you to disprove the value of custom hosts files for end-users enumerated in the link above...)

Cake too:

(Via the ADB/Android Debugging Bridge & its PULL command, but use smaller optimized hosts there folks - not much room).

P.S.=> It's a TRULY VERY SIMPLE - & hosts beat the hell out of other "solutions" on a myriad of ubiquitous levels as noted above - no questions asked!
