Windows 8 Changes Host File Blocking
An anonymous reader writes "Windows 8 has been confirmed to not only ignore, but also modify the hosts file. As soon as a website that should be blocked is accessed, the corresponding entry in the hosts file is removed, even if the hosts file is read-only. The hosts file is a popular, cross-platform way of blocking access to certain domains, such as ad-serving websites."
So, after reading the article this can be summarized as "Microsoft gives you one more reason to disable Windows Defender and use a third party AV app."
Just add the hosts file to the Defender's white list. If you know how to edit the hosts file, you should know how to add it to the white list.
Otherwise, who says the edits to that file were not malicious.
APK's sole existence seems to be reliant on advocating the hosts file as a means of host filtering, despite more modern, flexible, easier, convenient and powerful alternatives existing.
How will APK stay relevant with the demise of the hosts file in Windows 8? Stay tuned....
If you ignore ACs because they are anonymous - you're an idiot.
Before everyone gets all excited... the article has already been updated with the fact that this is a feature of “windows defender” (and imo a reasonable one) and can be disabled.
The hosts file is popular for blocking sites, but also popular for redirecting to phishing sites as well. This seems like a very ineffective way of solving that problem, but at least it doesn’t look like there is some evil malicious intent..
In other news, running certain anti-virus products will prevent you from writing to the boot sector while they are running
As comments in the article point out, this behavior can be turned off by going to the Windows Defender settings... But by and large this make sense for 95% of Windows users as they will have NO clue about the hosts file, and even less of a clue if it has been modified for a phising attack. Nice to see microsoft take another step forward in protecting the blindingly ignorant and inept.
Prepare them for the shitstorm.
This seems like one of those situations where someone didn't think of the potential side effects. The goal was to fix some attack on specific sites, but the solution failed to consider that the mere presence of entries like Facebook is not enough to determine of the entry is in fact malicious and/or unintended. Security and expected behavior is compromised in too high a number of situations to use this software imo.
Since, in the vast majority of cases, having facebook.com or doubleclick in the hosts file is the result of malware, Windows Defender is undoing what is likely malicious work. But... it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I was planning to buy the upgrade from Win7 to Win8. Now I won't.
Yeah, this is basically a cack-handed way of fixing malicious hosts redirects.
It'll prevent malicious programmes from sending you to fake Facebook, but at the expense of entirely overriding any preferences YOU as tthe computer owner might wish to make via the Hosts file.
It's a staggering level of incompetence that this is their solution. It needs to be changed and they need to find either another way of solving it or allow some form of granulation and user input.

The internet (or networks in general) are more than the web.
The main problem I see is I've never worked at a place without an airgapped or at least hyperfirewalled production/engineering network. Its actually pretty rare for that design to have a DNS server on the private net. So host file distribution is popular. As is forcing people to use/memorize ip addresses. After all, its not like a "computer" could automate hostname lookups or something like that, and enforcement and procedures give management something to do.
Anyway sounds like upgrading a production network from hosts files to DNS system suddenly got a whole lot more exciting if you've got windows 8.. Then again, people who use windows for production are pretty much already used to suffering and intense pain, so making it even less ready for the enterprise is not so big of an idea.

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 /. is "instant on" with posts).
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"!

One workable OS, which is substandard to the competition but perfectly usable, then the next is a complete turd (ME, Vista, 8).
This is another good reason to stick with Windows 7, giving Windows 8 a miss.
One common use of the hosts file is to test staging servers, particularly web servers before pushing them live, and without the complexity and time it takes to set up an additional DNS server.

Not a problem on my LAN. Those hosts are blocked in the main DNS server. And don't even bother trying to bypass DHCP DNS assignment. My firewall rules don't forward destination port 53 packets to the WAN interface. You either use my DNS server or you get ICMP administratively-prohibited errors. Problem solved. Next!
Just tried it on XP and 7 with MSE. MSE removes ad.doubleclick.net from the read only HOSTS file. So it's not just windows 8.
Per my subject-line above: Some data for your reference I challenge my "naysayers" like metrix007 & others to disprove (not a single one has managed to on a SINGLE POINT in it over time here mind you - metrix, as you've seen in my other post they "pre-downmodded" since they're trolls, is shown in a SINGLE INSTANCE only of running from this & disproving all of its points in favor of custom hosts files in fact - I have 8 others he's done that, run like a whipped dog from in fact, lol...):
Ah, metrix007 aside (he's just a fool troll)? Here we go:
21++ ADVANTAGES OF HOSTS FILES (over browser plugins for security, &/or DNS servers):
(Over AdBlock & DNS Servers ALONE 4 Security, Speed, Reliability, & Anonymity (to an extent vs. DNSBL's + DNS request logs)).
1.) HOSTS files are useable for all these purposes because they are present on all Operating Systems that have a BSD based IP stack (even ANDROID) and do adblocking for ANY webbrowser, email program, etc. (any webbound program). A truly "multi-platform" UNIVERSAL solution for added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity to an extent (vs. DNS request logs + DNSBL's you feel are unjust hosts get you past/around).
2.) Adblock blocks ads? Well, not anymore & certainly not as well by default, apparently, lol - see below:
Adblock Plus To Offer 'Acceptable Ads' Option
http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/12/12/2213233/adblock-plus-to-offer-acceptable-ads-option )
AND, in only browsers & their subprogram families (ala email like Thunderbird for FireFox/Mozilla products (use same gecko & xulrunner engines)), but not all, or, all independent email clients, like Outlook, Outlook Express, OR Window "LIVE" mail (for example(s)) - there's many more like EUDORA & others I've used over time that AdBlock just DOES NOT COVER... period.
Disclaimer: Opera now also has an AdBlock addon (now that Opera has addons above widgets), but I am not certain the same people make it as they do for FF or Chrome etc..
3.) Adblock doesn't protect email programs external to FF (non-mozilla/gecko engine based) family based wares, So AdBlock doesn't protect email programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows "LIVE" mail & others like them (EUDORA etc./et al), Hosts files do. THIS IS GOOD VS. SPAM MAIL or MAILS THAT BEAR MALICIOUS SCRIPT, or, THAT POINT TO MALICIOUS SCRIPT VIA URLS etc.
4.) Adblock won't get you to your favorite sites if a DNS server goes down or is DNS-poisoned, hosts will (this leads to points 5-7 next below, & especially vs. the July 12th 2012 "DNSChanger" trojan purge that's coming soon (those folks won't get to sites if infested - I will, due to hardcodes in my hosts file of my fav. 20 sites + using BETTER filtering DNS servers (see list below))...
5.) Adblock doesn't allow you to hardcode in your favorite websites into it so you don't make DNS server calls and so you can avoid tracking by DNS request logs, OR make you reach them faster since you resolve host-domain names LOCALLY w/ hosts out of cached memory, hosts do ALL of those things (DNS servers are also being abused by the Chinese lately and by the Kaminsky flaw -> http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/082908-kaminsky-flaw-prompts-dns-server.html for years now). Hosts protect against those problems via hardcodes of your fav sites (you should verify against the TLD that does nothing but cache IPAddress-to-domainname/hostname resolutions (in-addr.arpa) via NSLOOKUP, PINGS (ping -a in Windows - functions for "reverse DNS lookups"), &/or WHOIS though, regularly, so you have the correct IP & it's current)).
* NOW - Some folks MAY think that putting an IP address alone into your browser's address bar will be enough, so why bother
This is silly. You are advised to disable any AV present on a Windows system when modding a host file for this sort of filtering and re-enable it afterward to prevent EXACTLY this sort of behavior.
I thought /. was supposed to have more technically adept editors/readers.
Actually, setting up a DNS server in a windows environment takes about 2 minutes. And has a GUI so if you've never heard of DNS before you can often muddle your way through it.
windows server has a DNS server.
Hardly. At the enterprise level there are multiple different ways of handling situations such as this. Which one(s) you choose depends upon how you've organized Active Directory and your network.
But a different point is that this is an OLD way of phishing. The phisher is publishing the IP addresses that need to be blocked. So, again, at the enterprise level this kind of phishing would not be an issue.
If a phisher really needed to redirect traffic like that he'd have an easier time just getting the information in the local machine's DNS cache. That way it would never show up in the hosts file which means that it would be that much harder to spot. Then just keep updating the DNS cache.
So this is the wrong solution to the wrong problem and it is implemented in the wrong way. And it will probably cause more issues in the future as 3rd party developers have to work around not having the hosts file as a reliable option any more.
Nice way to remove a useful tool that's been around for decades.

PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT:

"Update: Tom just pointed out that turning off Windows Defender, which basically is Microsoft Security Essentials, in Windows 8 will resolve the issue. It appears that the program has been designed to protect some hosts from being added to the Windows hosts file. To turn off Windows Defender press the Windows key, type Windows Defender and hit enter. This launches the program. Switch to Settings here and select Administrator on the left. Locate Turn on Windows Defender and uncheck the preference and click save changes afterwards. Please note that this turns off Windows Defender, and that it is recommended to have another antivirus software installed on the system to have it protected against Internet and local threats."

There is always alternate antivirus/antispyware, but in My case? Windows 7 will remain MY alternate solution... until MS "wakes up" from the delusions they have with Win8... yes, I feel that way. Maybe I am wrong, time will tell!

The option on one end is to allow the user to have full, unfettered access to everything on their system, from the highest levels down to the lowest. This was done back in the DOS and Win9x days, and although it does have a few benefits in certain niches, it's also very bad for security.
The option on the other end is to disallow access to modifying the underlying system and related settings, and only allow such actions from full administrator accounts, and maybe not even then (depending on the mindset of the development team). This pisses off a lot of the hardcore techies who like to modify everything they can, but to be fair it does help protect the average user.
Now, I'm not defending Microsoft on how they've implemented this silently and without notification to the user, but on the face of it I think it's a good idea for the average user, at least with regards to the Facebook part of it (not so much on the Doubleclick part). Think about it - the average non-techie person wants Facebook to work. They will want to get their notifications on the Start screen (and elsewhere).
I agree with other posters - they should have openly done this and notified the user before "fixing" it - something like "Your hosts file has been modified to prevent access to <site on this list>. Is this desirable to you?" with three options - "Yes", "No", "More information". That way, the techies can click "Yes" and go about their business, average users can click "More information" and maybe actually learn a little bit in the process, then come back and click "Yes" or "No" as per their wishes.
As with many things, the idea is sound, but the implementation is not. To those saying "well, malware wouldn't redirect to localhost, it'd redirect to a false Facebook", there's nothing stopping a piece of malware from being written that is similar to the existing rogue security software, but that also uses hosts to block access to various social media sites, in an attempt to give the uneducated user further reason to believe they're truly infected as bad as the rogue software tells them they are, and also as a weak attempt to prevent the user from going online and telling people about it even after the rogue software has been removed. They'll do anything to get a few more successful purchases of their crap software. I'm quite surprised they haven't really done this already, to be honest.

Use a hardware firewall with content blocking or other features. I have all Facebook blocked in every manner. Sweet!
If all you're trying to do is block ad sites, and you're willing to do it on a system wide scale, use a firewall. Set a bunch of outbound rules to block certain address. It works, the settings will survive OS upgrades, and Windows 8 won't undo the settings on your behalf.
From the article, Two of the sites that you can’t block using the hosts file are facebook.com and ad.doubleclick.net
I started using the hosts file over a decade ago, when I traced crashes that I was having to doubleclick.net. Ad supported software that I was using was receiving files from them, but it was doing a lot more than just displaying the ads (which I would not have objected to). Many users were experiencing this, but the author would not fix it so I and others started blocking the site (which resolved the problem, although the author lost some small amount of revenue).
More recently I have also started blocking facebook. I never use it, have no account there, but I've noticed an awful lot of network traffic going to and from my site with facebook.com. I'm not even a member, so I don't feel the need for them to track most of the sites that I visit. The hosts file has so far worked very well for this.
And argument that this feature is in any way for the benefit of the clueless user is bogus. The common way to block a site via the hosts file is to equate it to the IP address 127.0.0.1, which is the local machine. If Microsoft were doing this for the benefit of their users then they would simply look at the hosts file and, if they found redirects for sites that they were concerned about that were not pointed to the local machine, they might well conclude that it was potentially an attempt to hijack a domain name and then, after warning the user (and even asking him) correct the problem. This would even show the user that Microsoft was doing something good for the user for a change. But if the address is redirected to the local machine, the only reasonable conclusion that I can see is that the user wanted it that way (as it provides no attack vector). It took me about 30 seconds to realize that changing 127.0.0.1 redirects was user unfriendly and could easily be avoided if Microsoft were really concerned about their users who paid for the software. They just have to look at the IP address that the hosts file contains and if it is 127.0.0.1 then allow it to stay! Clearly Microsoft realized this too. The only reasonable conclusion is that they are doing this because they have a motive that is against customers interests.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
Yeah, fuck those Gnomes. They keep biting my fingers while I type.
...just rip off iptables and be done with it already... wtf is this "protecting the hosts file" bullshit (pointless if root/admin priveliges are required to modify it in the first place)? ...and haven't they yet realised that "windows defender" is an oxymoron?
Microsoft did this to purposely piss of APK, because even they could stand seeing his posts despite his praise for their products. They knew that using the host file was still a good idea and made sure there was a work around. They just wanted to make sure there were more hoops to jump through to make APK dance a little more.
The answer is simple enough:
If you're already smart enough to edit the hosts file, you should be smart enough to add hosts to Windows Defender exclusion list.
Is this a change from the way that things were done in the past? Of course it is. This is how systems become more secure for the average user. Average Joe isn't messing with hosts.
Chicken Little, the sky is not falling.
Advantages over "other things"? Two words:
Firewall entries.
More flexible, centrally maintained, more granular, more reliable, and not prone to user tampering. Yea, how horrible.
Still not a reason to switch to Ubuntu. Especially with the new tablet optimized desktop.
If someone is passing you on the right, you are an asshole for driving in the wrong lane.
I'm calmly throwing out any illusion I might have harbored regarding the 'ownership' of a Windows PC, and I now know that the licensing agreement TOS gives Microsoft that right to manage 'my' PC in any manner they see fit, at any time they decide it's in my (their) best interest.
File Access has been a shattered illusion since I came to understand that any user account to which assigned administrative privileges was still kept from accessing certain files for lack of sufficient 'privilege' regardless of what I attempted to do to circumvent Microsoft's control or that of their partners.
I have to admit I'm chagrined at the Orwellian title given to the program responsible for carrying out the will of the Master. It's hiding the obvious in plain sight to call it Windows Defender when what it defends is Microsoft's interests and not that of those who pay for the OS.
Back in the day, when you purchased a piece of hardware it was yours, now you're just rolling the dice to see how long someone else's PC will last while it's in your possession and you use it according to the desires of the true owner.
Caveat Emporer
You can use djb dnscache on all operating systems, even ones that don't support the hosts file, even with windows 8. dnscache reads from a database and uses O(1) lookup. Hosts file is O(N) lookup. My friend had a hosts file with 5 billion entries. It took over 5 minutes to lookup some hosts and he had to buy extra ram just to edit his hosts file. With dnscache, all lookups are 5 ms. It can be run locally but it can also be put on a separate machine. My friend moved his dnscache to his router to block his daughter from looking at black penises or his son from looking at gay black penises.
Disadvantages:
1.) Harder to work with firewall rules table than textfile (for the inexperienced)
2.) Eats CPU cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O
3.) Is another "layer of complexity" over the IP stack (hosts aren't, they're a filter that makes for LESS work via blackhole 0, 0.0.0.0, or 127.0.0.1 slowest/largest/worst of lot loopback adapter address)...

Ok - this is the WORST of a bad lot on Windows firewall:
Hell, look up rootkit.com, & see their article on "Windows Firewall" Vista onwards being EASIER to "unhook"... it'll blow your mind!
I warned MS on it, to no avail, here -> (See 3rd or 4th post down in fact) http://www.google.com/search?q=%22rootkit.com%22+and+%22Windows+Firewall%22&btnG=Search&sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=&gbv=1
Hey - That's what UAC, ACL's, & Read-Only attributes, IN COMBINATION, are for... lesser privelege users NOT running as Admin IS "where it's at" for security for those reasons, on hosts files.
Centrally maintained's easy too - logon scripts &/or autoexec parse via gpedit.msc can make copying updated current hosts files a SNAP in Windows AD environs (or other networked environs).
Want more? Ask... all I have to do is *think* for a minute or so... lol!

P.S.=> Do I advocate firewall usage? Sure... & other things for "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" - best thing we've got going, see my post here on THAT note in fact -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048439 because I've been doing PC security since before there WAS a field in it... my post above has proof that also! apk
The hosts file has nothing to do, as a primary purpose, with filtering content. Go before DNS and find out what it was meant for and stop distributing garbage as information.
You can also eat more CPU cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O doing DNS servers (especially If setup as another machine, or even as a program on the same rig).
DNS, though it works? Has some BIG faults to it: See here -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048439 There's a list, only partial, of 32 of them.
Do I use DNS? Yes, see that SAME post (I use external ones, not ISP ones, or one running locally here... ones that are specifically FILTERED via DNSBL I suspect or a mechanism LIKE it).
There a LOT more on THAT note, DNS, here from me -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048439 that MAY "enlighten you"...
Disclaimer:
See - I am NOT against DNS... I merely use DNS, Hosts, Firewalls, browser plugins & MUCH MORE in unison for the concept of "layered security"/"defense-in-depth"... best thing we HAVE GOING today in fact, in today's malware-ridden mess online!

P.S.=> DJB's supposed to be pretty good, was allegedly "bulletproof & bug-free" & Dan J. Bernstein made a TINY arrogant mistake though - he put up a U.S. Dollars $10,000 award for ANYONE that could find a hole... guess who did? apk
As is forcing people to use/memorize ip addresses
Which is not even an option for shared hosting setups - you can literally have thousands of websites sharing a single IP after all.

P.S.=> Ah, anyhow - it's been FUN listening to your entertaining theory/conspiracy, but, I doubt it... apk
Here are a few words I want you to consider:
Defence
In
Depth.
What do you think that means?
It means that you have multiple layers of defence. Your PC should not be infected by another PC on your network or off, nor should it contribute to infection. Your router to that PC should not be infected by another PC on your network or off, nor should it contribute to infection. Similarly for your firewall and DMZ.
If you're not using HOSTS file why is the OS looking at the HOSTS file for ANYTHING???
Really. If you can't trust that file to be correct, then the OS shouldn't decide for you that it is correct.
"Is there no one else? IS THERE NO ONE ELSE??" from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BiLCJxpqi4

P.S.=> "Who are you soldier?" Achilles, Son of Peleus... lol!
(A Killeus - true greek spelling, son of Peleus, since the middle name's usually that of the father or grandfather? APK, works... lol!)
P.S.=> I mean that too, it's part of how the list got that strong, along with a LOT of years of thought put into it... & the Achilles thing is just to "inspire you"...
QUESTION - Which one of you "/. brainiacs" will find the "achilles heel" (that doesn't exist, lol), out of my list on hosts files benefits?
None for years here have been... not a one (ask metrix007, he's run from it 8 times, or see here for one example thereof -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048263 )
... apk
If they were, then there would be no use of the hosts file by the OS to look up things.
Now if you set it, but the machine gets infected, the OS can be made, despite your lockdown, a change to that hosts file and screw up the scenario you thought you were protecting.
If this were about getting rid of the hosts file, why is the OS still looking at it and even changing it?
Ahem: Wasn't I - I never said it was... I wanted to see if YOU guys knew the man's name (google's amazing for you, isn't it?)

P.S.=> Besides, I have other "triumphs" over time in this field with "notables", and more than once (small fraction of what I COULD put out's here) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41049215 ...
They are TRULY notables ones, ones I admire & respect! Especially Dr. Mark...
And?
Hey - The challenge STILL stands (&, what I use, MAY serve to "inspire you", wannabes (lol)) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41049299
Don't take offense!
The wannabes is just "ribbing" to get your goat, & get YOU, into it - keep your cool, beat me, win - disprove my points on hosts files!
Take me on, WIN, if you can!
Hey - in the end?
I'll only get stronger for it, IF you do or can!

On what planet does it make sense to change entries in a file on the system and not even warn the user that you are doing so? And since they are reportedly making the changes selectively, then if there were really an attacker his attack could have made other changes, but the user was never warned that the host file had anything "suspicious" in it and so would not be aware to even look at it and see if there was anything that the Great and Powerful Microsoft had missed. This isn't for the user, it is purely for MS's own interests.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
See subject-line above, & thanks for answering: First, my hosts files are in THIS format:
true IP + hostname equation (favorites top 20 now)
0.0.0.0 blocked ads, botnet C&C servers, bogus DNS etc.
(The latter are currently @ 1,800,855++ the rest of the way above 20, so only 20 @ the top which are NOT "intermixed" in my hosts with the blockouts, is just as good as ANY binary seek pattern, & actually better!)
* Do the math... you'll see: Even a Binary seek on the top 20 doesn't gain by it, since they're first, & cached 1 of 2 ways (see below).
QUESTION: In basis, that IS something you speak of because it's similar enough on the Big O b.s.?
Been there, done that, with trolls here on that account... it shut them up!
(Nice try if so... principles about the same!)
APK
P.S.=> That blocking out ads + hardcoding those favs, cached into memory I get massive speed, way better than normal folks do, I get my money's worth in speed/bandwidth, security, reliability, + anonymity that's a bit better!
(Since hosts is just a file & one your system touches instantly when OS loads + IP stack loads, & when it changes in Windows, so - if marked "Dirty" it reloads into RAM via the faulty with large hosts files local DNS clientside cache service, OR by the method I use of caching via the local kernelmode diskcaching subsystem)... apk
The hosts file is a popular, cross-platform way of blocking access to certain domains, such as ad-serving websites
No. It is a way of assigning local DNS for sites which don't or can't resolve through normal DNS.
Using hosts to block ads is stupid, always has been stupid and always will be stupid.
Now APK is probably going to come and tell me how wrong I am.
To not buy windows 8 and just stick with windows 7.
the Hosts file is targeted my malware to redirect to malicious sites and to keep under the radar to infect systems after they have been clean. (or even to a locally hosted proxy to infect sites like Facebook) Personally, I've seen facebook and myspace targeted in it. Never seen doubleclick but my guess is doubleclick is a target so that they can redirect to their own profit generating ads, or more malware to attempt to extort money out of people.
My guess is that the sites defender removes from hosts are sites that have been targeted by malware in the past. Frankly, I'd like to see the list of domains it looks for, but I'm sure that I woudn't want any of them redirected to some scumware site trying to pawn off fake antivirus.
In Soviet Russia, Trojan exploits YOU!
Well, need is subjective. But I like to play Doom 3 every so often (particularly with mods like The Dark Mod, a great Thief clone), and the hosts file is something of a necessity. For those who don't know, Doom 3 originally had old-school CD copy protection (i.e. need the disc in the drive when launching the game). The final patch removed that requirement, but changed it so that the game will attempt to authenticate the serial key against a master key server run by id/Activision. If the key fails (in use by someone else and/or a blacklisted key), the game won't run.
A few years ago I discovered the game thinks my legit serial key is in use/dodgy for some reason, which put me in a bit of a pickle. Fortunately, I discovered that if I put in a particular domain to redirect to 127.0.0.1 in my system hosts file (and this works for both Windows and Linux), the game won't be able to connect to the key server and will simply assume the key is OK and continue. I could have gotten a crack I suppose but I don't want to have to rely on cracks which may or may not have side-effects, plus I doubt one would exist for Linux anyway.
Side note: This is one thing I like about this authentication system in old games like this- if it can't verify your key/access, the game gives the player the benefit of the doubt and keeps working. Hence if the game is played when the Internet is down, or the key server disappears, the game will continue to work. Not like modern commercial games.
Most people on Slashdot are fucking idiots.

Solution was to dive into the registry and turn lots and lots of things off.

If one redirect a site to 127.0.0.1 from the aforementionned double click, chance that it is a malware is nil. Before removing the entry windows defender should check the IP and leave it for those site at 127.0.0.1. OTOH if it is an anti virus site it should remove it if it is precisely 127.0.0.1. If they went the extra way to check for some specific web site, then they should have done the extra way and check for the IP. Or make a pop up windows warning of the behavior and how to stop it.

Instead of bitching and moaning... what are my alternatives to editing the hosts file?
As a web programmer, I edit that file once or twice a week. Not to block anything, just to bypass DNS for debugging.

See my subject-line, & YOU SAID IT (not me joking around this time either like I was last post due to your trolling me with profanities!).
(You actually sound like "the sad cunt" you called me with now listening to YOUR post reply quoted above, man... seriously!)

"If I spent it arguing with idiots and trolls on the web though, I would just shoot myself though." - by Anonymous Coward on Sunday August 19, @11:23PM (#41050635)
Man, then WHAT are you doing on slashdot posting now then, for Pete's sake? Answer = NOT ARGUING WITH AN IDIOT (no idiot here in MOST things, well, except maybe sometimes blowing it with say, a beautiful woman, lol)...
That from you now, which is better than your earlier profanity? That's near borderline "pot calling a kettle black" you know.
Lastly - That "solution" of yours truly IS the permanent solution to most problems, & most are temporary - luck, change?
They happen you know, but YOU MAKE THEM HAPPEN... get it?? You are determining how you live, unconsciously too believe it or not, every second "The future is now"... good things never come easy though, not really, & not the really good things. Takes work usually imo & experience1
APK
P.S.=> Hope you cheer up... you actually sound like you need a "good day" & I wish you one, troll or not... apk
A lot of cracks rely on changing the host file to prevent activation / phone home. Maybe this has something to do with Microsoft's decision.
Piracy. Using the hosts file to block calls from installers out to verification servers is pretty common. This would effectively end that method for circumvention.
That's ok - I'll just link to the reaction of the initial "grammar-checker" post's poster (assuming it's still you, just tough to tell with ac repliers, most don't "sign off" like I do as APK)... if that doesn't cover it, & I think it will?
Oh well!
PLUS, Hey - I can always say what I did, & that's that I've done a few decent things in the art & sciences of computing that made tech trade shows, publications galore, made me ca$h on the side above working in this field + more, here:

In response to the troll's whose post brought me here in the 1st place - metrix007, whom I have repeatedly "Blown Away" on hosts files 8x literally before on /. ...
Seriously, based on that only SMALL list @ the top in that link that's only partial?
HEY - I have NO NEED to try "ream" someone else's "glories"/achievements for myself... again - not THAT "low" here, lol!
APK
P.S.=> Thanks for the advice though, it's sound enough & probably will happen, lol, & I'll just "blow it away" + the troll with it, thanks to you... apk

PLUS, the trolling post starter "metrix007" whose taken a beating from me 8x over the years here on hosts files that started the thread trollingly directed MY way as usual:

?
Hehe, he's "Boagreus" in that film clip already, down for the count, silenced (... lol!)

To quote "the Lord Humungous" from "The Road Warrior"?
"I AM THE LORD OF THE WASTELAND (lol, slashdot): ALL THAT EXISTS HERE, IS MINE!"
Except I suppose, you can call me this: "The Lord of HOSTS", per the topic of course, ala -> http://www.rzim.org/slice/slicearticleprint.aspx?aid=8423
PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT:
"The image this title brings to mind is of a mighty military commander, one who can at a mere word summon rank upon rank of protective power."

The protective power, of hosts files IN combination with filtering DNS servers, firewalls, & other forms of "Layered-Security"/"Defense-in-Depth", ala this:

P.S.=> Proof? Ok, and its LINKS, like you said I use... hey. it's solid proof in black & white!

My initial reply to metrix007 showing he blew it off the bat on hosts & Windows 8 (lol, Boagreus):
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048263
"Metrix007 & Boagreus LIVED BY THE SWORD, they died by it too... lol!"

Then, his FINAL defeat (in a single blow like AKilleus son of Peleus did him, in the film clip) metrix007 blown away on yet another troll point of his -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048363
Now, you KNOW I've just GOTTA say it, as-is-per-my-usual "inimitable style":
This? This was just "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2ez'"
(Just like taking down metrix & 3-4 others right after he during my challenge to ANY here to disprove my points on hosts files & benefits I listed they give users)... apk
There is no way to tell Windows Defender not to mess with the hosts file and adding it to the ignore/exclusion list won't work because that only affects scanning for malware which is a different feature. The only thing you can do is disable Windows Defender entirely (or for now, block SYSTEM from writing/modifying the file but that won't work for long).
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41049299
* That's all...
Good luck disproving its points, IF you decide to try... a few here have & failed (4 or so, 5 if you include the post starter metrix007 - but, he's failed vs. myself @ least 8x on that, 9 now as of this thread in fact HE started trying to troll me, lol, & FAILING right off the bat!) - see here:
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048583
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048633
and of course, metrix007 right off the bat (the troll that started this thread):
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048263
(ALL THE SAME ERRORS TOO, ironic, & due to faulty reading & NOT "RTFA" source!)
Plus, many here have *tried* over time, & all failed!
None could even put a dent in the fact hosts files are EXCELLENT tools for numerous reasons for end users in speed, security, reliability, even anonymity + more!
(Especially over competing solutions like DNS + Browser addons like AdBlock - often doing MORE than those can, more "myriad functionality" from a SINGLE FILE, for less - often complimenting them transparently & smoothly, overcoming THEIR issues too...!)
After all - Doing more, WITH LESS = GOOD Engineering (usually)!
Hosts can do what other solutions can, & more + work with them perfectly too!
Hosts do more, with less!
Less CPU cycles usage (than firewalls or DNS or AdBlock) & better Ring 0/RPL 0/kernelmode efficiency since hosts are only a filter for the already efficient BSD derived IP stacks out there - That's less than browser addons, & it can do more (like aid speed to favorite sites as well as blocking ads OVER ADBLOCK. & reliability too over poisoned DNS servers) for less (via a single file of massively useful ubiquitous nature).
APK
P.S.=> So, "that all said & aside": Go for it, disprove my points there, prove me wrong (doubt you can), but IF someone managed to?
I'd only get stronger for it, & so would my points on hosts!
... apk
Hosts file is not for blocking contents, hosts file is for overriding DNS entries. Or more correct, a file where you look for a host to ip translation before you consult your DNS. The file can point a host name to the wrong IP, effectivily blocking access to that host (site), but that is not what this file is for. Missuse and missunderstandings. But please ./ check your facts.
"I had just assumed APK had submitted this story himself." - by Anonymous Coward on Sunday August 19, @06:31PM (#41048977)
NOR did I submit one here,so, that, & see subject-line!
As to /.? LMAO - Yes, I've probably "pissed 'em off" SOME, with this:
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41049577
Since it allows me to be "The SUPERIOR Warrior" vs. trolls, more than matching them by ac, and equaliing them as "registered 'lusers'" here, which I find NO value in, & in fact, a tracking nightmare detriment for what? Karma points?? It's not me.
(Anyhow, that link? It truly makes me "LIMITLESS" here, ala this film -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THE_hhk1Gzc&feature=related , do see it - pretty darn good Sci-Fi: My technique's original, breaks no rules, allows unlimited posts as ac, & just rocks... fast too! )
I've submitted some, they know my general IP address & may have just decided not to post them (one was on a NEAT DDoS appliance, hardware assist vs.DDoS attacks, couldn't believe they rejected it - it'd be a hit here I think! Anyhow...)

The HOSTS file is not for blocking things; it is for optionally providing an alternative way of looking up some local names besides using DNS, in an enterprise network with what is today called a local intranet. It has fallen into disuse, mostly exists for legacy reasons; maintaining HOSTS files across machines in a network is inefficient; maintaining a local DNS service is normally the more appropriate strategy, and blacklisting can be implemented on the Enterprise's DNS service.
A perfectly appropriate firewalling mechanism exists in Windows called Windows Firewall with Advanced Security; which allows you to set an outbound firewall rule to block opening all connections to a specified server. This is safer than HOSTS file, because it simply blocks the address, without tampering DNS lookup results, and enabling a site to be repointed to a phishing site..
HOSTS file is commonly abused or misused for nefarious purposes; its use for any purpose is strongly discouraged, and has been unsupported for a long time. It would be no surprise to see the DNS resolver of a future version of Windows drop HOSTS file functionality entirely, and move towards Group policy configuration, or Administrator registry configuration for any 'manual local names'.
HOSTS file use as a mechanism for blocking or 'firewalling' things is also unsupported. The HOSTS file is not a firewall, and the HOSTS it not a DNS access control mechanism. It's still perfectly legitimate for a DNS resolver to attempt lookup via the DNS as a failover strategy, if the entry in the HOSTS file seems bad or non-responsive. Browsers may do this; browsers may even bypass the HOSTS file entirely, because it is commonly abused by malware.
Malware and Adware commonly mess with this file to hijack users' browser by creating false host entries for common websites to point them to malware author-controlled domains.
Disabling the ability to silently do this on consumer-targeted OSes improves security. This security feature/change is appropriate for end-user systems that are not part of a large enterprise intranet with unusual requirements necessitating local resolver entries.
If the site is intended to be blocked or "legitimately" hijacked/misdirected; enterprises have more appropriate, more scalable means of implementing this; such as DNS server based blacklisting, and configurations on edge firewalls.

Each stands to lose when hosts become LARGELY USED, and they know it... they'd fight them, but truth always wins in the end. Adapt to Survive, or die in their world of business right? Right, the strong ALWAYS survive & may the strongest do so. Business = Jungle.
However, consumers (which is ALL of us) gain. That's my goal here on many levels in security, speed, reliability, fixing issues other solutions have, & even better anonymity to an extent + more... that's all. It's job #1, because "not only am I the president of the hair club for men, I'm also a customer" as the famous ad went.
Thanks for the answer though...
Especially since your type gives me guff on hosts, or tries weak off-topic illogical failing ad hominem attacks on ME (b.s. usually), rather than MY POINTS (on hosts especially)...
In the end? You'll evade that challenge, or screw up IF you try it... trust me on that one - many have tried for decades now, none succeed, & since you're a cowardly troll? You certainly NEVER will... I am confident in that. Disprove my points on hosts on valid technical grounds with backing proof thereof? You win. You don't, well... you know who wins then!

So that's centrally maintained for you? Sync only at login? And over the day, any changes have to wait till the next login?
This is worse than kindergarten IT. You're nothing but a quack.
2.) Eats CPU cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O
Hosts file doesnt have to be loaded into RAM? Rejecting packets outright is more CPU intensive than trying to route to 0.0.0.0, having to do a route lookup, failing, and discarding the session? Hosts file doesnt incur I/O penalty?
Dude, you are so far out there on this one, Im not sure you understand how quick your average firewall can drop a session compared to relying on a crappy HOSTS file redirect to 0.0.0.0.
Hell, look up rootkit.com, & see their article on "Windows Firewall" Vista onwards being EASIER to "unhook".
When I spoke of a "centrally managed firewall", that is most emphatically not the Windows Firewall. Cisco, Sonicwall, pfSense, ipTables, take your pick, all of them are zillions of times better than Hosts:
1) faster
2) easier to maintain
3) has built in logging
4) user cant bypass or tamper, even with escalation exploit
5) less prone to breakage
6) can filter by protocol, hostname, and port, not just IP
But you know what? Keep pushing hosts files as a viable business solution, Im sure youll get lots of business doing so.

The "convert/filter" stage which gets rid of duplicates, bulk useless data like comments in hosts, and converts to the blocking IP address you want for records (options for the larger/slower 127.0.0.1 or the smaller/faster 0.0.0.0 exist), the sorts them alphabetically on blocking the known bad sites & more...
That's the "time killer" and CPU killer since it's largely string processing (but it's not bad either & most importantly it works!).
* It is extremely accurate too, that's the most important part &, it's "GUI EASY" to use...
(As I leave NO imported data records untouched, & make sure they are all correct, uniform, and deduplicated).
It takes less time, if you don't import in & work on data from sites that haven't updated their data the day you run it (hence the config screen, which is merely a set of checkboxes that tell it to IMPORT (or NOT) from any of the 12 sites it gets data from for custom hosts file creation...

P.S.=> Over 1.8 million records, it's only a bit longer in the normalization/deduplication stage, that sends it up to 10-12 minutes on an Intel Core I7 920 QuadCore CPU running @ 2.67ghz here... apk

"Hosts file doesnt have to be loaded into RAM?" - by LordLimecat (1103839) on Monday August 20, @05:46AM (#41052375)
Sure, & it only takes seconds, & saves you TONS of webpage loads, by speeding up websurfing!
Which firewalls DO NOT DO in 1 particular way:
In hardcoded favorites of your fav. sites in the hosts files' records @ the TOP/BEGINNING, which matters, of the hosts file - speeding up IP address resolutions from host-domain names BY FAR over remote DNS calls for it for the same purpose!
Firewalls like software firewalls cannot & don't DO that, nor do browser addons like AdBlock - period or @ least, afaik!
(Superiority exists in hosts in that aspect alone vs. firewalls, browser addons like AdBlock, or remote DNS servers...)

I/O occurs in cached RAM, fast as possible...
(Plus, here? Initial loads & reads into RAM here are setup via redirected hosts databasepath parameter in the tcp/ip stack parameters section in the registry to a "True SSD", in a Gigabyte IRAM 4gb DDR PCI-e RamDrive card - massively faster than HardDisk seek/access too, & hence, faster loads there on that "stage of the game"...)
---
"Dude, you are so far out there on this one, Im not sure you understand how quick your average firewall can drop a session compared to relying on a crappy HOSTS file redirect to 0.0.0.0" - by LordLimecat (1103839) on Monday August 20, @05:46AM (#41052375)
Am I? See above... software firewalls can't speed you up though as hosts hardcodes do!
(Which is FAR faster doing host-domain name resolutions calling out to a remote DNS server (which is what most folks use from their ISP/BSP), by many orders of magnitude... & reliability goes UP, vs. potentials of DNS poisoning redirection of DNS servers or them being "downed" period...)

Well, like I said above - hosts compliment shortcomings in DNS (reliability of hardcoded favorites vs. downed or DNS poisoning redirected DNS servers), run in Ring 0/RPL 0/kernelmode via the PnP IP stack in Windows, cached into RAM 1 of 2 ways, by the faulty with larger hosts files local DNS clientside cache service, OR how I do it, the local kernelmode diskcaching subsystem... fast!

Sorry, not "selling anything", it's a freeware done outta "the goodness of my heart" because of the multiple good benefits hosts files give users in:
1.) Speed/Bandwidth they pay for recovered (blocking adbanners & hardcoding favorites)
2.) "Layered-Security"/"Defense-in-Depth" vs. malicious content in general online (known sites-servers/hosts-domains that house malware or malicious script, trackers, banner ads (bad or good), botnet C&C server

Simply by PROVING they cannot disprove my points on hosts files benefits to end users of:
---
1.) Blocking out malware/malscripted sites
2.) Blocking out Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware
3.) Blocking out Bogus DNS servers malware makers use
4.) Blocking out Botnet C&C servers
5.) Blocking out Bogus adbanners that are full of malicious script content
6.) Getting you back speed/bandwidth you paid for by blocking out adbanners + hardcoding in your favorite sites (faster than remote DNS server resolution)
7.) Added reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers).
8.) Added "anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs)
9.) The ability to bypass DNSBL's (DNS block lists you may not agree with).
10.) More screen "real estate" (since no more adbanners appear onscreen eating up CPU, Memory, & other forms of I/O + electricity too - bonus!)
11.) Truly UNIVERSAL PROTECTION (since any OS, even on smartphones, usually has a BSD drived IP stack).
12.) Faster & MORE EFFICIENT operation vs. browser plugins (which "layer on" ontop of Ring 3/RPL 3/usermode browsers - whereas the hosts file operates @ the Ring 0/RPL 0/Kernelmode of operation (far faster) as a filter for the IP stack itself...)
13.) Blocking out TRACKERS
14.) Custom hosts files work on ANY & ALL webbound apps (browser plugins do not).
15.) Custom hosts files offer a better, faster, more efficient way, & safer way to surf the web & are COMPLETELY controlled by the end-user of them.

"Customers know Computer Associates - and, these days, for all the wrong reasons. Just as the company was beginning to shed its reputation as a home for legacy software products that carried an inflated price tag, it was rocked by a series of accounting scandals. An on-going FBI fraud inquiry and investigations by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have left it reeling, with a power vacuum at the top as over a dozen senior executives have left or been sacked. The allegations centre on internal accounting and sales activities in the years around the turn of the century, and involve the movement of revenues between quarters and product areas, and consequently, the mis-statement of financial results."

(Yes - Served 'em right, they failed...)
Plus - I passed every one of their 21 point test for removal too - they should have REMOVED it, but, instead, downgraded it to ZERO THREAT LEVELS!

APK
P.S.=> CA also listed a freeware of mine as a "malware", falsely, which was written to help out a fellow forums person I knew at NTCompatible years ago, because he had an OLD version of Apache server on Windows which would not run as a tooltray icon while minimized & it was not implemented as a service he told me (that was so it was not visible onscreen and ran "in the background transparently" which most webservers now, do).
So, in good faith/being a "good neighbor", I wrote it up for he (it's NOT commandline argv/argc parameterizeable either, so it's NOT scriptable) in GUI form (only 2-3 lines of code & works via C/C++ type invisible "spawn" type parameterizations).
Next thing I know?
It's out online being classed as a "malware" (1 of around 40 freeware apps I've done over time that did VERY well & were featured in respected publications in good reviews in reputable & respected publications like "Windows IT Pro" Magazine (it was Windows NT Mag back then in the 1990's - early 21st century) & others of like ilk).
Apps that can be used "both ways" get 'victimized' this way (which is like PING via "ping of death")...
EXAMPLES OF OTHER SOFTWARE AUTHORS GETTING THE SAME FALSE POSITIVE ABUSE BY COMPANIES:
---
Tools from NIRSOFT (good stuff) who also gets a "bad rap" from the likes of CA!
OR
SysInternals even too (yes, even Dr. Mark Russinovich has had this happen to he (e.g. pstools) as it has myself & Nir Sofer of NIRSOFT) have tools that can be used "for the good" or "the bad", depending on WHO is using them & what they're up to (like a gun, guns don't murder people - other people do)).

So, then I took CA's 21 point removal test & passed EVERY SINGLE QUESTION without fail no less, & they would not remove it (but, they had to put it down to "Zero Threat Levels")...

Afterwards when I told the attorney these results, he told me "Yes, you have a WINNING CAS
I see this HOSTS debacle as a response to sites and downloads claiming to provide "clean" hosts files, they ask users to "download their .zip, run their program and find a miracle cure to unwanted tracking." Which is a great setup for those wanting to redirect DNS entries to phishing sites. -- not a secure solution.
This also takes aim at any potential browser addon's that attempt to mod the HOSTS file.
Don't like it, then you're not an average user. Add the hosts file to the windows defender exceptions list as the article points out.
Anyone modding their hosts file isn't just a typical user, adding an exception shouldn't be a chore.
The point isn't that Microsoft is giving a free pass to Facebook or an ad tracking site, at issue is that Advertisers, Trackers and their ilk have been ahead of laws, regulations even internet taskforce groups and have creating privacy and security issues since AOL bought the NSF servers.

P.S.=> There you go... it all works, GUI easily from my app, all the way out to any endpoint PC/Server on a LAN/WAN even... often as you like & CLEAN/FRESH too! apk
It's Schrock, not "Schmuck". Calling him "Thor Schmuck" makes you look like a 45 year old virgin still living in his mother's bas.... never mind.

Using it on networks? Cake!

A.) Install & run it
B.) Do updating the hosts file from a PRISTINE fresh import (to a CENTRAL location on a LAN/WAN too, via these methods) of blocking data vs. malware & malicious content, botnet C&C servers, bogus DNS servers, phishing/spamming sources, trackers, adbanners & more, as often as you like:
C.) Then, lastly - On said network via native to OS tools for network-wide propogation of fresh clean updated hosts files that program yields IF you only installed it on a "central server" for clean hosts for all nodes/workstations/servers:
I.E.-> Centrally managed hosts files? Easy as pie via logons scripts, or parse of autoexec in Windows @ bootup via GPEdit & group policies company-wide!
OR
Using taskscheduler on each workstation/server node periodically
OR of course, using this app on workstation/server endpoints locally as well as a possible.
(Take your pick!)

Below - I list a TON of DNS faults below, you know of them from it, and hosts actually COMPLIMENT & OVERCOME them
---
1.) Power usage on DNS software on same system OR especially separate machines
2.) Host-domain resolves being faster than calling out to remote DNS servers for hardcoded favorites (hdd or ssd access/seek is far faster locally too)
3.) No separate "layered on" added stuff over the IP stack IN Ring 0/RPL 0/kernelmode like firewalls or DNS programs do, since hosts are only a FILTER for the IP stack & good layered security/defense in depth!
4.) No separate "layered on" added stuff over the browser addons like AdBlock or even IE TPL's IN Ring 3/RPL 3/usermode like adblock, since hosts are only a FILTER for the IP stack & good layered security/defense in depth!
5.) Reliability vs. recursive DNS servers setups in faults driven by DNS poisoning attacks (hardcodes of hosts file records of your favorite sites do that).
---
( & more... FAR more, see below - it compliments & overcomes issues in firewalls, adblock, DNS servers + works with them, transparently/seamlessly/smoothly @ the MOST efficient layer possible - the IP stack itself!)
The speedup part hardcoding in favorites (which also aids reliability) is there too!
Simply by blocking out ad banners (which you KNOW have been infested more than a few times the past few years, partial list's below, & also CPU, RAM, & other forms of I/O killers as well as screen realestate stealers, etc. & more... see next list):
I.E.-> Custom hosts files gain me the following benefits (A short summary of where custom hosts files can be extremely useful):
---
1.) Blocking out malware/malscripted sites
2.) Blocking out Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware
3.) Blocking out Bogus DNS servers malware makers use
4.) Blocking out Botnet C&C servers
5.) Blocking out Bogus adbanners that are full of malicious script content
6.) Getting you back speed/bandwidth you paid for by blocking out adbanners + hardcoding in your favorite sites (faster than remote DNS server resolution)
7.) Added reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers).
8.) Added "anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs)
9.) The ability to bypass DNSBL's (DNS block lists you may not agree with).
10.) More screen "real estate" (since no more adbanners appear onscreen eating up CPU, Memory, & other forms of I/O + electricity too - bonus!)
11.) Truly UNIVERSAL PROTECTION (since any OS, even on smartphones, usually has a BSD drived IP stack).
12.) Faster & MORE
You want to read this:
"Hosts was never meant to be used for blocking sites, but it works well enough as a consequence and the behaviour should be left alone. Whatever the user puts in there, should work as intended. I don't fucking CARE that it's used for malware. Fight malware in other ways." - by TheRealGrogan (1660825) on Sunday August 19, @11:45PM (#41050749)
First - PLEASE READ THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY you MAY find it "enlightening" as to the value of custom hosts files - get back to me, especially IF you can disprove any of its points:
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048439
Then?
See this app I wrote in both 32-bit & 64-bit form
(Since it can also be used to create a CENTRALLY LOCATED PRISTINE & CLEAN FRESH custom hosts file FOR PROPOGATION ACROSS A NETWORK EVEN, easily, via GpEdit, taskscheduler, or other native tools to the OS, in this case, Windows):
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
How/When/Where/How/Why per my subject-line above on LAN/WAN environs even for these gains - I.E.-> Custom hosts files gain me the following benefits (A short summary of where custom hosts files can be extremely useful):
---
1.) Blocking out malware/malscripted sites
2.) Blocking out Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware
3.) Blocking out Bogus DNS servers malware makers use
4.) Blocking out Botnet C&C servers
5.) Blocking out Bogus adbanners that are full of malicious script content
6.) Getting you back speed/bandwidth you paid for by blocking out adbanners + hardcoding in your favorite sites (faster than remote DNS server resolution)
7.) Added reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers).
8.) Added "anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs)
9.) The ability to bypass DNSBL's (DNS block lists you may not agree with).
10.) More screen "real estate" (since no more adbanners appear onscreen eating up CPU, Memory, & other forms of I/O + electricity too - bonus!)
11.) Truly UNIVERSAL PROTECTION (since any OS, even on smartphones, usually has a BSD drived IP stack).
12.) Faster & MORE EFFICIENT operation vs. browser plugins (which "layer on" ontop of Ring 3/RPL 3/usermode browsers - whereas the hosts file operates @ the Ring 0/RPL 0/Kernelmode of operation (far faster) as a filter for the IP stack itself...)
13.) Blocking out TRACKERS
14.) Custom hosts files work on ANY & ALL webbound apps (browser plugins do not).
15.) Custom hosts files offer a better, faster, more efficient way, & safer way to surf the web & are COMPLETELY controlled by the end-user of them.

As I noted earlier - also using it on networks? Cake!

gotcha. you suck at python. so what ?
My advice didn't make what he'd already written any more accurate either. It was crap before I advised him to lay off the "Schmuck" nonsense, and given it can't be edited, it remains crap today.

"First, if you are doing your web filtering on the workstation, you are doing it badly, badly wrong." - by LordLimecat (1103839) on Sunday August 19, @06:07PM (#41048843)
You're dumb then - "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" is the BEST THING WE HAVE GOING vs. the online mess with malware in general out there... period!
(That's a fundamentally KNOWN thing stupid... & IF you aren't protecting @ THE ENDPOINTS like workstations wioth as much as you can, including custom hosts as yet another layer of defense? You're dumb - period!)

"Third, there are about a zillion better ways to accomplish blocking than using a HOSTS file." - by LordLimecat (1103839) on Sunday August 19, @06:07PM (#41048843)
Oh, really? Like what?? DNS??? Tons of FAULTS in it, see here (32 of them I listed, & there are more, that's only partial):
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048439
Care to disprove all of its points in favor of custom hosts files for not only layered security, but also speed gains on 2 levels, reliability vs. DNS shortcomings, & those of AdBlock too & more?
GO FOR IT - I'll tear you in 1/2 easily...
---
"Its basically a kludge from bygone days before DNS, and for 99% of use cases where you might think "I can use a HOSTS file for that", there are far better methods-- or else the thing you are trying to do is retarded." - by LordLimecat (1103839) on Sunday August 19, @06:07PM (#41048843)
See above - you're apparently telling people that securing @ network endpoints like workstations is dumb... you're DUMB if you believe that stupid!
---
"Second, HOSTS is not somethin that is easily maintained or modified." - by LordLimecat (1103839) on Sunday August 19, @06:07PM (#41048843)
WTF? Are you stupid or what??
See these methods you wannabe stooge:
---
GpEdit group policies allow:
1.) Parsing of autoexec
2.) Paring & using a logon script
BOTH can copy over a FRESH clean copy of a hosts file for layered security protection vs known online threats!
(Also giving a user more speed, reliability vs. DNS poisoning via hardcodes of favorite, above & beyond blocking adbanners that have been SHOWN to house malicious content many times and slow you down otherwise eating up power, cpu cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O also).
3.) You could also setup taskscheduler to do the same periodically copying from a central location on a network for clean new fresh updated custom hosts files.
4.) Creating them & putting new fresh clean updated hosts files in a central LAN or WAN location for purposes of the above?
GUI Easy (both in 32-bit & 64-bit form by YOURS truly):
For those of you that run Microsoft Windows 32 or 64 bit? An automated hosts file creation & mgt. program:

a niche of geeks who seem to think it somehow superior to firewall rules
An entry in a hosts file is a firewall rule. The advantage of a hosts file is that one doesn't need to install extra firewall software. And even if you do install external software, it can still use the widely understood input format of a hosts file.
or adblock lists
Adblock is fine for your web browser, but what can you use to block access from applications other than a web browser? You need a firewall, and one that operates at the DNS level is built into your operating system: the hosts file.
DEY
reimaging a dev laptop for a DNS change sounds like an enormously bad idea ("where did all my source code go?")
All you need to do is check it out again, you silly git.
I don't have a Facebook account; I graduated and lost my .edu address before Facebook even existed. And I don't want Facebook's like button code to slow page loads while building a dossier on me any more than it already has. Other than using a hosts file or installing a DNS server on localhost, what do you recommend for blocking web sites from loading the like button?
So what will people use as a media production appliance?
Only reason people are crying is they can't block their pirated version of Adobe from activating. That's all host files are used for now days.
use a firewall
Hosts is a DNS-level firewall already built into your operating system.
Set a bunch of outbound rules to block certain address
Which works until the hostname starts pointing at a different IP address. Round-robin DNS tends to do this. A hosts file, on the other hand, maps all requests associated with a given hostname to an invalid address. It acts in effect as a hostname-based outbound rule set.

APK's done a lot (while you were still in diapers) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048363 - so what have YOU done by way of comparison, troll? Zero... lol!
LMAO - I blew him away on THAT very statement -> http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/internals-and-architecture/the-memory-optimization-hoax search "Jay Little" on that page...
(In fact? All of arstechnica's big trolls in Jeremy Reimer especially by impersonating others & being caught in that, email harassment, & both Little + Reimer had their websites removed for libel from their hosting providers, CrystalTech & Shaw, respectively) massively FAILED vs. myself... bigtime!)
Heck. Even Dr. Mark Russinovich a former "co-worker" of mine @ sunbelt selling our wares (mine outsold his in fact), whom I corrected his work in pagedefrag.exe hardcodes JUST before that article came out?
He couldn't dispute that memory optimizers unstall halted Exchange Servers, Terminal Servers, Databases & more + I told them all "VISTA WILL FAIL DOING OVER AGGRESSIVE CACHINGS" &, it did... MS had to lessen it in a patch!.
So much for PhD's, eh, as well as "self-proclaimed" exchange experts, like Jay Little (beating HIM on HIS OWN BALLCOURT? Priceless...)
Little & Reimer later brought in a doctoral candidate student who posts here named StarKruzr (Jarrett DeAngelis) whom I busted LYING not admitting that's his real name (I had ways of determining that, which are a LOT like how I post here as much as I want, lol), & he?
* He ENDED UP AGREEING WITH A GOOD 99% of what I said there... eat that, trolls!

Nope!

The 1st real guide for that & it really works -> 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.
(I HAVEN'T FOUND AN OLDER (or better) ONE YET ONLINE TO DATE EITHER...)
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))

LordLimecat's calling others that use hosts files "armchair admins" in his posts here?
Well - Funny, but the FOOL blew it on gpedit being able to copy over fresh files, even hosts, to all points of a network, & if you want MORE current copies?

PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT:
"The image this title brings to mind is of a mighty military commander, one who can at a mere word summon rank upon rank of protective power."
Of which custom hosts files are a part in doing this in its entirety (which of course, I authored YEARS before there really was a PC security industry/field as there is now) which works when followed to-the-letter based on industry security "best practices" & beyond:

15 seconds for dedup & sort is fast over that # of records, & it's not bubblesort: It's quicksort (a variant that's faster in fact). I did it PURELY in memory too, double-buffered. I used HIGH to REALTIME cpu priority while the loop runs (& in realtime, which only running as ADMINISTRATOR can summon & get), there's NO timeslice either during realtime ops.
Oh, & see subject-line - you're WRONG ac troll, as usual!
---
Right now (but I will in next version, should cut off another 2-3 minutes with another idea I have)?
I can't get it any faster (for now, it's 4x as fast as the last model though)... not in GUI mode!
The "slowest stage" (9 minutes) is the "CONVERT & FILTER" stage, with GOOD REASON - it performs 11 operations of string processing nature on EVERY HOSTS FILE RECORD (leaving none untouched, & thus, NO stone unturned/checked).
String Processing's VERY EXPENSIVE on CPU cycles, but, that's just HOW it is... no way around it.
(My only "hassle"? One I can't avoid - GUI program message-passing overheads - & I went GUI, because the program's MEANT FOR COMMON FOLKS to use, even though the security community so far, in 2 sites, seem to like & host it...!)
I wrote it as a character mode Object-Pascal "DOS" tty-term commandline app - 10x as fast, but not as useable...
* Trade-offs abound, but useability for "common folks" was what I was after, & folks today (& for AGES now)? They are GUI people!
APK
P.S.=> Unbelievable though - a doubtless undereducated idiot's trying to tell ME, a college educated in both CSC & MIS grad who's degreed, what's-what from DataStructures class (which I loved & find useful, to this very day)...
... apk
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41059043
Don't you rather mean metrix007 (who blew it bad -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41055913 ) or LordLimecat (blew it equally bad on gpedit.msc -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41066165 )
"?"
* They BOTH made hugely fundamental mistakes regarding hosts files... bigtime!
(On reading (or rather, NOT reading for metrix007) & on networking (LordLimecat really "f'd up" since he was calling those who use hosts files "armchair admins" & I HAD TO SCHOOL HIM ON GPEDIT, lol! Some "admin"... more like "wannabe admin" in his case!)
APK
P.S.=> Just blowing away trolls, as always here - "You know me", lol... apk
1st: ONLY download the websites that are updated that day (less of an overall dataset, no need to bring what you've already go)
2nd: DON'T DO THE CONVERT & FILTER STAGE, only the initial deduplication (15 seconds of your time).
* Do that? You're done in under a minute, intake of data to deduplicate/sort 1st stage of the Convert & Filter tab... right click on the result report, save it, & see!
(That way, you get TREMENDOUS SPEED, but I'd say only a 98% surety of ABSOLUTELY deduplicated, AND, fully normalized data results - but, do check it & see: I never run that way personally, the data result? It's everything, but I near guarantee absolute perfection if you take the extra 7 minutes to run full "Convert & Filter" is alll..)
APK
P.S.=> There you go, HOWEVER & again - I cannot guarantee the absolute pristine result of the data, oh... it gets a good 98% there, but the FULL "Convert & Filter" makes SURE of it - that's all, as a disclaimer... apk
Modding down truths to hide them!
* Truth does that, with trolls, readers... lol - with trolls? Truth must NEVER be allowed to see the light of day! Why? Well, come on now (would've thought you figured that out by now):
They're ac "TroLLs"... lmao!
APK
P.S.=> Delphi & C/C++ rule, why? What was Python created in/by?? The latter - & when I see Python do a device driver, then, I'll take that back (one for Windows on PC's/Servers as the driver too)
... apk
I eliminate uncertainty - but not the further possibility of it from my sources (intentional or not, if they chaged things in their site even).
I eliminate it, via redundancy & safety for 100% absolutely assured accuracy in the "convert & filter" stage, longest of all, but you MAY be able to get away with it (I did just now on a partial import, 100% clearn data), & for what it filters out, & being safe/sure - my posts lists it when I post about the app in the details section.
* Speed's nice - but, in matters of a datafile (the end goal here), it's garbage in/garbage out is a no-no! THE Absolute "no-no"...
(Again - Making the file perfect IS the goal, above all else... data sanity. My program -> 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 does that when run WITH Convert & Filter, rather than without - then, it gets done well under 2 minutes time)
APK
P.S.=> I am only reiterating now, what I said before: To assure 100% absolute perfection of the output, even to efficiency 100% no fat all business hosts file, you do the Convert & Filter, 10 minutes of your time. For 98%++ or better? Get done under 2 minutes time tops, & Import + Normalize/Deduplicate & save via rightclick on output screen...

Why the fuck should I prove or disprove something I never addressed in the first place?
I made a joke about an urban legend. You made numerous replies that had nothing to do with the joke and/or the urban legend.
And you still haven't told me how to remove the notorious apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe trojan from my PC. Numerous anti-malware sites describe it as dangerous malware that needs to be removed at once. That's pretty much the only question I've asked you, but other than some rant at CA which was deliberately written such that it can't be taken seriously ("Thor Schmuck"), you haven't addressed that either.
Hosts files? I couldn't give a rats ass. How you defend your PC is up to you.
I'm always careful when running third party Windows tools, for obvious reasons, and tend to test them on an old Slackware box using wine rather than immediately rushing to install on my brand new Windows 7 PC. What I found was disturbing, the APKTools package I downloaded installed something called apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe, which according to several sites is extremely dangerous malware. Fortunately I tested first on the Slackware box and quickly restored the .wine directory from a back-up, otherwise I could have been in trouble. So my advice, be careful! You don't want your PC to be infected with this kind of thing!
Back to reality and the topic troll -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41079143 and that's no virus and not same progarm even -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41056339

See subject.

The rest of what you just said seems to be the same manifestation of your own shortcomings also.
Seek help with your issues. Shock Therapy isn't doing it for you anymore and neither are your meds.
Tell you what, if you want me to talk to you about HOSTS files, I'll do it. But I absolutely insist that you, first, tell me that my theories on the provability of p=np are either correct or incorrect, with examples.
Your alternative is to apologize to me for responding to a joke about an urban legend with a form comment that had nothing to do with the joke or anything the joke was addressing.

"Also while I already had this DLL installed, VBRUN300.DLL seems to be locked (in use) by the tool." - by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday August 21, @04:23PM (#41073071)
My program has no runtime lib dependencies since it's a stand-alone single self-contained executable written in Delphi XE2 Object Pascal 32 & 64-bit.
It's not written in Visual Basic (much less a 16 bit VB3 model for which VBRUN300.DLL is the runtime lib).

You dodged a bullet. I did some reading and apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe sounds like it's one of the most dangerous programs on the Internet, based upon the reviews below.
CA
PestPatrol
SpywareDB ("Dangerous!")
Freedom Anti-Spyware
Spycheck (Spanish-language) - "Recomendacion: DESACTIVAR Y ELIMINAR"
Spyware No-More ("Threat risk: High risk", "Advice: Remove This is a very high risk threat and should be removed immediately as to prevent harm to your computer and / or to protect your privacy")
Based upon the above, I'd say better advice than simply restoring your Slackware .wine directory would be to completely lowlevel format the drives. I hope you haven't kept your PC connected to the Internet since you installed the app.
Hosts which are the topic?? Back to reality and the topic troll http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41079143 - there's theory (of which you don't even know what you're talking about using discrete math P=NP and Big O telling us how they apply to hosts files) and there's reality and work in practice in the link above.

That's an old program of mine that was falsely accused of being a malware (like has happened to Nir Sofer or Nirsoft and even Dr. Mark Russinovich of Microsoft)
It was downgraded to zero threat levels (and CA had to sell of that "security suite" too, lol) and I passed every one of their 21 questions for removal and they did not remove it like they should have!

Jay Little/metrix007 got his ass handed to him there and here, lol.
Alexander Peter Kowalksi has lied by attempting to redefine these statements of fact as an argument against hosts files.

What does anything you talk about have to do with hosts files?
For the last fucking time: NOTHING.
My God, it takes a special kind of stupid to think a reference to an urban legend about "summoning APK" is hosts file related.

I head the same things although I'm pretty sure I did enough of a reset on my Slackware install that it wasn't a problem! My Slackware PC is not connected to the Internet, although it is on a network of its own that gives it the illusion of being Internet connected.
Interestingly APK's main app appears to be written in some kind of obscuficated pseudo-assembler. I took the liberty of running a disassembler against it to try to figure out what it does, and why it takes 15 minutes to, essentially, sort a few million records, and the executable (16 bit BTW!) is just a stub to load a 300k support library VBRUN300.DLL (which claims to be copyright Microsoft... yeah, right!), the rest apparently being some kind of custom p-code type thing.

P.S.=> The latter one in my program? That's 1 thing the "armchair admin" (since LordLimecat called anyone who uses a custom host file that, & ended up with "egg on his face" blowing it on "things networking" above) will NEVER be able to do, since face 1 simple fact: Admins/techs? They're JUST USERS WITH A BETTER PASSWORD & merely "use" what coders like myself CREATE FOR THEM TO USE... period/fact!

1st: I disproved that using CA's rules (passing 21 removal questions):
They don't even obey their own RULES on that - since it should have been removed by my passing ALL 21 OF THEIR REMOVAL QUESTIONS, but instead, downgraded that old app of mine to ZERO threat levels...
They're the ones that had a part in the ERRONEOUS false positives ridden IKARUS database...
Ask Nir Sofer about it.

Better sources of authority say it does ac troll http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41066353 since 2 security sites (malwarebytes' hpHosts & securemecca.org) host it...
LOL!
On the link you posted?
That's an old program of mine that was falsely accused of being a malware (like has happened to Nir Sofer or Nirsoft and even Dr. Mark Russinovich of Microsoft)
It was downgraded to zero threat levels (and CA had to sell of that "security suite" too, lol) and I passed every one of their 21 questions for removal and they did not remove it like they should have!
They don't even obey their own rules!
That is their problem along with CA also being busted for accounting fraud by the SEC -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41056339

Not IF/WHEN you turn off the local DNS cache:
PERTINENT QUOTE/EXCERPT:
---
"To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor"
Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties - click Stop
Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
Select: Manual (recommended) or Disabled click Apply/Ok and restart. [more info]"
---
There's other ways too... without having to turn off the local DNS clientside cache service:
---
TO BE ABLE TO USE DNS CLIENTSIDE LOCAL CACHE SERVICE WITH A LARGE HOSTS FILE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters ... ... see Regedit Help under "Exporting Registry files"
Click Edit > New > DWORD Value (type) MaxCacheTtl
Click Edit > New > DWORD Value (type) MaxNegativeCacheTtl
Next right-click on the MaxCacheTtl entry (right pane) and select: Modify and change the value to 1
The MaxNegativeCacheTtl entry should already have a value of 0 (leave it that way - see screenshot)
Close Regedit and reboot
As usual you should always backup your Registry before editing
---
Personally - I turn the local clientside DNS cache service off... what do I need to be running it for, when I can just save CPU cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O it uses for other things since it's faulty with larger hosts files for?
(The local kernelmode diskcaching subsystem will do the SAME, & cache my hosts file for me, & since my hosts files keep "hardcoded favorites" of mine in them? Voila...)

"Also while I already had this DLL installed, VBRUN300.DLL seems to be locked (in use) by the tool." - by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday August 21, @04:23PM (#41073071)
My program has no runtime lib dependencies since it's a stand-alone single self-contained executable written in Delphi XE2 Object Pascal 32 & 64-bit.
It's not written in Visual Basic (much less a 16 bit VB3 model for which VBRUN300.DLL is the runtime lib).

I eliminate uncertainty - but not the further possibility of it from my sources (intentional or not, if they chaged things in their site even).
I eliminate it, via redundancy & safety for 100% absolutely assured accuracy in the "convert & filter" stage, longest of all, but you MAY be able to get away with it (I did just now on a partial import, 100% clearn data), & for what it filters out, & being safe/sure - my posts lists it when I post about the app in the details section.
* Speed's nice - but, in matters of a datafile (the end goal here), it's garbage in/garbage out is a no-no!
THE Absolute "no-no"...
Again - Making the file perfect IS the goal, above all else... data sanity.
(My program -> 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 does that when run WITH Convert & Filter, rather than without - then, it gets done well under 2 minutes time)
APK
P.S.=> I am only reiterating now, what I said before: To assure 100% absolute perfection of the output, even to efficiency 100% no fat all business hosts file, you do the Convert & Filter, 10 minutes of your time.
For 98%++ or better?
Get done under 2 minutes time tops, & Import + Normalize/Deduplicate & save via rightclick on output screen...

Do YOU understand Big O vs. APK's reply (& you downmodded to hide it) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41049693 ? Your meaningless drivel doesn't affect anyone gaining speed, security, reliability and more from using custom hosts files.
I see from your other replies to the trolls (don't pay them any mind, they're only "ne'er-do-wells" after all), that you also used the "tricks" I noted here to do it http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41072977 Good job... thanks!
APK
P.S.=> Enjoy the program, but, more importantly, enjoy the results it gives you in:
---
1.) Blocking out malware/malscripted sites
2.) Blocking out Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware
3.) Blocking out Bogus DNS servers malware makers use
4.) Blocking out Botnet C&C servers
5.) Blocking out Bogus adbanners that are full of malicious script content
6.) Getting you back speed/bandwidth you paid for by blocking out adbanners + hardcoding in your favorite sites (faster than remote DNS server resolution)
7.) Added reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers).
8.) Added "anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs)
9.) The ability to bypass DNSBL's (DNS block lists you may not agree with).
10.) More screen "real estate" (since no more adbanners appear onscreen eating up CPU, Memory, & other forms of I/O + electricity too - bonus!)
11.) Truly UNIVERSAL PROTECTION (since any OS, even on smartphones, usually has a BSD drived IP stack).
12.) Faster & MORE EFFICIENT operation vs. browser plugins (which "layer on" ontop of Ring 3/RPL 3/usermode browsers - whereas the hosts file operates @ the Ring 0/RPL 0/Kernelmode of operation (far faster) as a filter for the IP stack itself...)
13.) Blocking out TRACKERS
14.) Custom hosts files work on ANY & ALL webbound apps (browser plugins do not).
15.) Custom hosts files offer a better, faster, more efficient way, & safer way to surf the web & are COMPLETELY controlled by the end-user of them.

P.S.=> The latter one in my program? That's 1 thing the "armchair admin" (since LordLimecat called anyone who uses a custom host file that, & ended up with "egg on his face" blowing it on "things networking" above) will NEVER be able to do!
How so?
Well, since there's 1 simple fact:
Admins/techs?
They're JUST USERS WITH A BETTER PASSWORD & merely "use" what coders like myself CREATE FOR THEM TO USE... period/fact!

Yes. OK, sit down, because you're going to be amazed by this.
It looks like the code invokes Netscape purely to download a bunch of lists of hosts files. Now, I know what you're saying, "Why not download them directly? And anyway, how much harder is it to interface with Netscape?"
Well, here's the joke. All it does is launch Netscape to load those pages. Then after a delay, it plows through the entire cache looking for the pages that were just loaded! It then pulls the host names out of that cache!
HTTP is EASY to implement. Why APK would do it this way is anyone's guess!
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41048583
* Your own posting on Slashdot proves it? LOL! I want real evidence!
And Thor Schrock is smarter than you, he can, after all, write both his own name, and yours whereas you can't even write "Schrock" LOL. Show me your typing diploma. Do you have a typing diploma APK? You can't show me yours because you don't have one
You ran a REAL business? I don't think so! Real businesses are like CA, IBM, Schrock Associates, Oracle, Google, and Microsoft. You think you have industry experience just because you ran an "LLC" out of your basement? ROFL.

P.S => Visual BASIC 3? ROFL!!
P.P.S => For the "trolls" Big O is a measure of complexity, whereby the length of time, measured in cycles, of a looped operation is compared to the amount of data being processed. For example, a hash lookup is O(1), a search through a list is O(N) (because the number of operations is proportional, on average, to the number of items), and a bubblesort is O(n!) (I think, I can't remember, it's been a while since I did this.) The reason it's relevant to a hosts file generator is that if you use the wrong algorithms, you'll find that the length of time it takes to process your initial hosts list will increase exponentially, or worse, as you add more hosts.
P.P.P.S => That wasn't really for the "trolls", that was for you APK. I thought you might need it explaining to you.

FROM -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41055533

APK
P.S.=> Funny that, eh? How "the great admin" (not) LordLimecat had to be "schooled" by a hosts file user/armchair admin like me, hmmm?? Not...
LordLimecat's an "armchair admin" - not even that: He's a b.s. artist that talks big, but when the chips were on the table, he projected & revealed HIS TRUE COLORS - he's no admin himself!
... apk
You failed right off, right there, lol - not interpreted code to begin with... & that?
VBRUN300.DLL's a 16-bit runtime library for VB 3.x, not a 32 or 64 bit executable, which IS what I wrote here -> 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
AND THE PAGE THERE SHOWS THAT MUCH!
(You fail, badly... liar!)
The program can be run 1 of 2 ways (the first I don't guarantee absolutely 100% accuracy, though most of the time it WILL be that way, unless the sources change their site data, since some do "screen scrapes" rather than file downloads is why):
---
1.) Run it doing IMPORT, & then ONLY the 1st STAGE of the "Normalize" tab - this takes literally, under 2 minutes (faster if you have a FAST internet connection & by FAR with FIOS) - however, I don't guarantee the data being 100% uniform in form of by record format this way.
or
2.) Do the SAME AS ABOVE, but, do DO the "Convert & Filter" (This ASSURES 100% data output accuracy even if the sites change their format)... this does 11 string operations on EVERY SINGLE LINE ITEM RECORD in the data taken in for a custom hosts file (this, takes time, but does guarantee data accuracy being perfect, or rather, as perfect as I knew how to make it after working with hosts files for nearly 20++ yrs. now). This can take up to 10 minutes... on an Intel Core I7 920 CPU @ 2.67ghz stock speed (mine).

I did a post on it, you must have missed it (says tricks in its subject line).

P.S.=> LMAO - didn't you realize the site that hosts it (1 of 3, the other 2 are security sites by malwarebytes/hpHosts & securemecca) SHOWS it is a 64-bit native executable?

Here ---> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41107859 NAPK wins again. Where is your typing diploma APK? LOL! You don't answer, because you don't have one! You can't even type "Schrock" you're so stupid.
sphincter says what? He says it to APK here ----> http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1047791&sid=64f2ebedb9b8c8a72c20dfaade5d4574&start=40
And NAPK OWNED you here ---> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41098343 LOL
Do you even have a Diploma in Typing APK? I notice you're avoiding NAPK's question. LOL! You don't say because you don't have it!
That's incredible. Actually, I'll give APK credit here, I would never have figured out the trick with Netscape in a million years. From my recollection, VB3 never really gave users access to sockets, and wasn't exactly fun to write extensions for in C++, so on the face of it this trick isn't as stupid as it looks. I'm surprised to find myself saying it, but I have to say based upon his use of Netscape 4 to download files for a VB3 program, APK is one smart cookie. My hat off to him.
See subject-line above, consecutively http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41101483 and http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41101989

P.S.=> "Thank God it's Friday"...

had a squiz at your hosts file program... most of us just use notepad or gedit, but whatever floats your boat... and 37+ Mb of memory!!! did you disable debug info in compile options (or directives)? either that or you just use one of the newer bloatware versions... i guess i'm just lucky i still use delphi 7.
i develop mainly engineering software (flight test data analysis and structural code compliance, among others) for companies i've worked for using delphi and php... none public sorry
refer to my other comment for the parse error (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41117989), since you asked
Refer to this, it shows the errors you're making -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41101989
* See subject-line, + A & B below... they're fact!
YOUR MISTAKES:
---
A.) It's impossible for "APK Hosts File Engine 5.0++" to be written in Visual Basic 3.x (since that's a 16-bit development environs, & the program is 32-bit OR 64-bit, depending on the version you run AND THE DOWNLOAD PAGE SHOWS IT'S 64-bit) -> 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
AND
B.) The http socket stream only "masks" itself as Netscape, but it's not netscape 4...
APK
P.S.=> Of course, trolls like you are only stating what you are to *try* to "upset me", but you're only making yourselves look stupid (and I know, you could care less, since you're posting as ac's, hence WHY you are - so the stupidity of what you're saying doesn't "stick" to you personally)
... apk
Hey, stupid? I knew that already -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41085803
From that link above -> print "troll bs here"[::-1]
* Even simpler, & I put it out FAR earlier than you did, simpleton - proving I knew how it was done, but it's not REALLY coding doing it THAT way - only using a prebuilt function the PyThon language givse you...
So, that all "said & aside" - As usual for you? LMAO - "YOU FAIL"...
APK
P.S.=> My original code, no "google" required mind you (which today's modern DOLT such as your limited self requires or you'd be helpless in computing, lol), worked JUST FINE on your "trollanguage/trollspeak", 'CruTcHy' (lol) ->
... apk
JUST fine, vs. your "trollspeak/trollanguage" -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41052117
Delphi &/or C/C++ are my favorites - but, again: Python has its place as a decent enough scripting language (but it's a FAR cry from those languages I just noted).
* Funny you couldn't find anything along the lines of me saying "I am the greatest programmer" as you insinutated/implied either...
OH, & PRINT function usage for string reversal?
Guess what?
I posted that here LONG ago too, so, you fail there also, lol, 'CruTcHy' -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41121375
APK
P.S.=> I use Python 2.71 here & the "IDLE" IDE (primitive stuff compared to Borland C++ Builder &/or Delphi XE, or Microsoft Visual Studio - like working with stone knives & bearskins)

'CruTcHy', ok: Then, how do you get those to deduplicate/normalize 1,000's TO MILLIONS of records for you?
(Notepad's not scriptable for it, is that gedit program? I don't use it, but somehow, I doubt it is...)
That's what this program does for people, above ALL else!
(& in under 1 minute if you have a FAST network connection for import of data, like FIOS)
I.E.-> It makes that IMPOSSIBLE 'by hand' task, possible.
---
"and 37+ Mb of memory!!!" - by crutchy (1949900) on Friday August 24, @10:47PM (#41119123)
It's going to occupy that much memory (MORE, if it gets more data, & less, if it gets less data) - that's how it works, 'CruTcHy' (lol)...
In fact, in case you hadn't guessed it, lol??
That's how most ANY program that maps data to memory to process it works!
Put it THIS way:
I regularly have it work on 100++mb @ a time on "merging" the new data + the older hosts files custom records data (mostly for blocking adbanners, known malicious sites-servers/hosts-domains)... & that's currently @ 1,801,375++ & growing blocked off.
---
"did you disable debug info in compile options (or directives)?" - by crutchy (1949900) on Friday August 24, @10:47PM (#41119123)
Yes, both in the IDE as well as inlined directives in the code itself...
---
"either that or you just use one of the newer bloatware versions... i guess i'm just lucky i still use delphi 7." - by crutchy (1949900) on Friday August 24, @10:47PM (#41119123)
Delphi 2/3/5/7 were excellent - However, I use Delphi XE2 since it does 64-bit executables (those older ones won't) - & I wanted this to be the 1st 64-bit app of its type for Windows users...
APK
P.S.=> Lastly - You also blew it on the print statement too, I had noted its use already LONG ago here -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41121375

No, You've proven yourself wrong and yes, guilty of libel because of your ridiculously false statements intended to defame apk.
That does the job in less than 1 minute for custom hosts file creation? Less than 1 minute IF you have a FAST network connection (ala FIOS), & if you omit the "convert & filter" stage (optional, but GUARANTEES pristine data, 100%... omitting it, I can only guarantee 98++%, but it too usually comes out 100% on import as well).
One that's good enough to be featured on an exclusively 64-bit programs hosting site here:
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
??
One that's good enough for 2 security-oriented sites (malwarebytes' hpHosts -> http://hosts-file.net/?s=Download &/or securemecca -> http://hostsfile.org/hosts.html ) that create custom hosts file data for import to host!
That's done in BOTH 32-bit + 64-bit models???
* Face it - you WISH you were me... lol!
(It's not MY FAULT EITHER, that you're nothing but a "ne'er-do-well" ac troll...)
APK
P.S.=> Ah, "onwards & upwards" - it's NOT EASY, being "world-class"... apk
Yes. OK, sit down, because you're going to be amazed by this.
It looks like the code invokes Netscape purely to download a bunch of lists of hosts files. Now, I know what you're saying, "Why not download them directly? And anyway, how much harder is it to interface with Netscape?"
Well, here's the joke. All it does is launch Netscape to load those pages. Then after a delay, it plows through the entire cache looking for the pages that were just loaded! It then pulls the host names out of that cache!
HTTP is EASY to implement. Why APK would do it this way is anyone's guess!
Truth is stranger than fiction.
i don't even use an IDE for my php apps... i use gedit, which is basically windows notepad except with syntax highlighting
I note you're not touching where you messed up on deduplication/normalization of the hosts data (realizing now that THAT is what this type of program does since managing hosts by text editors will NOT do that for you), and the print statement... additionally?
"the only ounce of sense i got from your entire comment was that data explains the memory usage... fair enough" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @07:37PM (#41125725)
Thank-You for conceding that to me. Amazing: You're able to see sense after all ("will wonders NEVER cease")...
---
"even if you're downloading from a http server or something, and if you have an open file handle for writing out you shouldn't need to store the entire hosts file content in memory) maybe look at how you're storing the data" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @07:37PM (#41125725)
The data comes in as raw text (and in different formats/layouts which IS THE BIGGEST PAIN), & from individual sources! Thus, it gets stored as such on disk @ first (by site it comes from so I can examine it IF needed - such as for filtering out either bad data, which yes, DOES happen... OR, for filters of the crap some hosts files makers put in the files bloating them).
Thought about using BDE or other DB engines (like SQLite & doing a SELECT DISTINCT QUERY) to do the normalization-deduplication part too, but decided against it (too many moving parts to ship)... that, & the fact I knew I could design it WITHOUT having something else, a db engine, do the work for me.
APK
P.S.=>
"and why the hell would you need a 64-bit program to generate hosts files? sounds like a bit of a dick waving stunt to me.... not surprising for you" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @07:37PM (#41125725)
Might as well go 64-bit is why (it ships wtih a 32-bit model too).
Lastly - The only "dick waving" going on here is the fact I have actual programs in motion folks can see/use - you on the other hand, offer nothing but criticism & have nothing to show for yourself, by way of comparison

"the comment you link oesn't show anything about the indentation bug or a simpler way to code your string reversal" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @07:22PM (#41125659)
Sure it does... lol - see the SUBJECT-LINE of this post & see subject-line above here too, lol:
http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41121375
I was WELL aware of how that's done but again: Imo, doing that is NOT programming imo, if you're using built in functions (plus their call overheads) vs. writing routines yourself!
Put it this way, & I said much the same in another post to you here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41126057
I.E.-> I could have used SQLite or BDE to do a BIG PART of the work in this app (normalization/deduplication via SELECT DISTINCT SQL queries)... but, instead, I opted to DO IT MYSELF & have no extra moving parts or anyone else's work doing the work for me!

"you're an arrogant moron, and i caught you out on your code that you're so proud of" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @07:22PM (#41125659)

"lol yeah unless it has a bug that you need someone else to find" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @07:22PM (#41125659)
That's NO BUG, 'CruTcHy' (lol), it's an error YOU made, that YOU DIDN'T CATCH (an online debugger did and it's making an error too, lol) and funny how that Python code worked SO WELL AGAINST YOU & your "trollspeak/trollanguage" here in the link below next, eh? LMAO:

"yeah... you rule your own vagina" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @07:22PM (#41125659)
Ah, yes: Spoken by a "ne'er-do-well" that SAYS he programs but yet doesn't have a SINGLE THING TO SHOW ANYONE? Oh man, lmao - "please"...

Quoting you on this one, see my subject-line above, first:
"i use gedit, which is basically windows notepad except with syntax highlighting" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @07:24PM (#41125669)
Which leads to my subject-line above here now vs. this from you in another post regarding my work here:
"had a squiz at your hosts file program... most of us just use notepad or gedit, but whatever floats your boat." - by crutchy (1949900) on Friday August 24, @10:47PM (#41119123) FROM -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41119123
Which PER MY SUBJECT-LINE ABOVE proves I was correct on gedit also - it's NOT scriptable, & thus, just like notepad.exe, won't PROPERLY process custom hosts file data doing:
---
1.) Deduplication/Normalization
2.) Sorting of data
3.) Filtration of bulk useless junk characters & comments
& more (like write protecting the hosts file every 1/2 second)...
---
* Ah, yes - it is NOT easy, being "World-Class", like me, I tell you... lol!
APK
P.S.=> Hence (again) WHY I built this program in both 32-bit AND 64-bit form to do it:
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
And, it does it FAST (under 1 minute if you have a FIOS connection & omit doing the optional "convert & filter" stage)...
... apk
My code's perfect vs. your "trollspeak/trollanguage" -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&threshold=-1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=41048903 &, did the job on YOU, quite PERFECTLY... lol!
(No bug in that output, now is there? Nope... that's the BOTTOM-LINE of any app - does it take in data & process it, correctly!)
* You made a mistake & because of it, so did that online debugger (which MAY also be operating on Python 3.x, rather than the 2.7x version I use which has less issues by far, or @ least, last time I looked into it over 2++ yrs. ago by now iirc).
APK
P.S.=> 'CruTcHy', take a good look @ yourself in a mirror:

"nobody but you gives a toss about a noob delphi program that creates a blacklist hosts file..." - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @09:15PM (#41126205)
First of all - YOU certainly do, and you don't have one of your own to show by way of comparison either, lol (you're a lot of TALK, nothing more)...
Secondly, per my subject-line above? Well, the folks in the security community do, & decided to host it on malwarebytes'/HpHosts website:
http://hosts-file.net/?s=Download
As did another member of the security community who produces custom hosts file data (& other things like IE TPL's iirc):
http://hostsfile.org/hosts.html
(Opinions vary, & from folks out there attempting to HELP OTHERS by their efforts, in creating custom hosts file data!)

"even the form layout stinks of amateur" - by crutchy (1949900) on Saturday August 25, @09:15PM (#41126205)
Well, bitch all you LIKE, but you blew it on:
A.) The print statement & Python (which I knew of)
B.) gedit & text editors being unable to PROPERLY deduplicate/normalize, sort, & filter custom hosts file data, + FAR more
C.) Not having any wares of your own anyone can see or try/use (much less critique)...
(And, more, on YOUR end... lol!)
So "the code with no lines has no bugs" & thus, 'CruTcHy' can say he writes "bug free code" @ least, lmao... even though it does ZERO too!
APK
P.S.=> I had a HUGE debate with a co-worker once, gave me the same guff you are now (shareware/freeware is easy): Well, I am going to tell him the SAME I am telling you, now - It has to run on EVERY SYSTEM UNDER THE SUN, whereas ones that are for information systems for a particular company, don't... the hardware is uniform, & so is the OS + software environs in that setting. It's NOT that way, when you "send it out into the wild" to run on EVERY SYSTEM OUT THERE, perfectly... apk
See subject-line above & again, this vs. your "trollspeak/trollanguage" -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&threshold=-1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=41048903 &, it did the job on YOU, quite PERFECTLY... lol!
(Which, of course, proves my point via literally concrete, visible, verifiable AND UNDENIABLE, proof... lol!)
I.E.-> It works just FINE when run in the IDLE ide for Python, & of course, in practice (vs. YOUR "trollspeak/trollanguage", lol!).
At least NOW, you finally spotted YOUR ERROR (in how you pasted the code into that debugger online), finally... lol!

That... along with his "greatest hits" (lol, NOT) vs. myself, listed here:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41126527
* Yes, folks: It is NOT easy being "world-class" like me... especially not when all I have as naysayers are "/. trolls", like 'CruTcHy', lol...
APK
P.S.=> Now, you just KNOW I've just GOTTA say it, as-is-per-my-usual "inimitable style":
This? This was just "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2ez'", & it always is, vs. noobs like "CruTcHy", lol
... apk
i found a bug in your posted code before you could and no amount of bitchslapping from you is going to change that fact.... you're just going to have to live with it
FACT: My python code worked PERFECTLY vs. your "trollanguage/trollspeak" here -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41052117
(You made an error pasting it into an online debugger & your paste job didn't have spaces in it - which you can thank the /. forums engine for too, lol, no less!)
---
Facts like your "greatest hits" so far vs. myself in your errors:
---
1.) I have working code that does the job perfectly (in both the python & delphi apps), you do not.
2.) You conceded memory usage with loaded data (where first you criticized me for it & withdrew it)
3.) You BLEW IT on the print statement (yes, I proved I was well aware of it, but unlike YOU, google-boy/googler? I do my OWN work & write my own inlined code vs. function call overheads & control actually - same reason I didn't use BDE or SQLite - I did the work, myself, perfectly!)
4.) The fact that the hosts file DOES need protecting (UAC ACL & write protect help do so).
5.) You ADMITTED you find hosts files useful (which I will find very useful in the future, thank you!).
---
and more... , you fail (many times, vs. "lil' ole me", lol)...

and more... Vs. ME? Hey - you FAIL, 'CruTcHy', you fail (many times, vs. "lil' ole me", lol)...
APK
P.S.=> Those, are just facts - you've been outnumbered, out-skilled, & just plain OUT-THOUGHT, & you just KNOW I've just GOTTA say it, as-is-per-my-usual "inimitable style::
THIS? This was just "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2ez'"...lol!
... apk
the code paste in http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41091833 was merely to point to the code that you posted... the code that was actually pasted into the interpreter was copied and pasted verbatim from your post, with indents
go back and have a look at the code you posted...
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41052117
the bug is there... on the fifth line
if i pasted the code without any indents at all, a parse error would have been thrown for line 2... it wouldn't have gotten as far as line 5
so, like i said, your code may have worked perfectly in your interpreter, but the code as posted IN YOUR COMMENT (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41052117) had the bug, so the bug was not mine
it wouldn't even be a big deal, except that you can't help but make it a big deal with things like...
P.S.=> Additionally + Lastly: Like ALL my code? It works well... apk

Hey - I can't help it if /.'s forums engine messes up when I paste in code that works here just fine, see above, again, as proof (and it's not the 1st bug I've caught in /.'s forums engine either, caught another in THIS VERY THREAD)
AND?
I also can't help it that YOU pasted it into an online interpreter that way (YOUR error)...

Sure it does - I've been doing it for YEARS now! If/when you have a relatively LARGER hosts file, it begins to "lag" the faulty local DNS clientside cache in Windows (this is 1 THING I will give Linux, hands-down, over Windows in fact... Linux has no such hassles/issues with larger custom hosts files).
"Turning off the DNS cache doesn't eliminate the problem. It merely increases the size of the hosts file that can be used before the slowdown becomes noticeable. Yes, it needs to be a huge hosts file, but it's still going to be a problem. - by cbiltcliffe (186293) on Saturday August 25, @11:38PM (#41126917) Homepage
Ahem: Hate to tell you this, but IF YOU READ THE SOURCE from mvps.org properly? You'd know it works (as does the other technique I noted on DNS settings -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41093025 )...
* Additionally - YES, it permanently stops the problem with Windows' KNOWN FAULTY WITH LARGER HOSTS FILES local clientside DNS cache service... period!

* They BOTH made hugely fundamental mistakes regarding hosts files... bigtime!
On reading (or rather, NOT reading for metrix007)
&
On networking - LordLimecat really "f'd up" since he was calling those who use hosts files "armchair admins" & I HAD TO SCHOOL HIM ON GPEDIT, lol!
(Some "admin"... more like "wannabe admin" in his case!)
APK
P.S.=> Just blowing away trolls, as always here - "You know me", lol... apk
Downmodding to hide it now? I won't allow it -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41129297
Your list of "fails" vs. myself, all 10 of them by this point, lol:
---
1.) Again: IF my program has a "bug", how come it ran PERFECTLY here vs. your "trollspeak/trollanguage"? Hmmm?? -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41052117 (which IS also PROOF you came in here "trolling" starting it up also)...
2.) You conceded memory usage with loaded data (where first you criticized me for it & withdrew it) -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41126057
3.) You BLEW IT on the print statement -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41126057 (yes, I proved I was well aware of it, but unlike YOU, google-boy/googler? I do my OWN work & write my own inlined code vs. function call overheads & control actually - same reason I didn't use BDE or SQLite - I did the work, myself, perfectly!)
4.) The fact that the hosts file DOES need protecting (UAC ACL & write protect help do so) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41126421
5.) You ADMITTED hosts files are useful (which I will find very useful in the future, thank you!) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41126661
6.) 2 significant folks in the security field who create custom hosts file data host my GUI program in malwarebytes' hpHosts & securemecca -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41126285 for custom hosts file creation & mgt.... and you said nobody gives a hoot about my program (seems you do, & fail vs. it, and there's these security folks also).
7.) Text Editors like notepad.exe &/or gedit will NOT handle properly processing hosts file data fully, which YOU had to be "schooled in" also -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41121573
8.) You had to be reminded of what the topic is here (hosts) since you were trolling calling me homo, retard, & such, plus starting up your trolling b.s. (shown in #1 above) -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41104817 YOU OFF-TOPIC "ne'er-do-well" TROLL!
9.) LASTLY - YOU ADMIT MY PYTHON PROGRAM WORKS:
"regardless of how well it runs" - by crutchy (1949900) on Monday August 27, @05:53PM (#41142547)
Aha: There we have it - YOU ADMIT my code works, so... how can it be "buggy"?
10.) 10th would be that a "ne'er-do-well" TALKER like you even attempted to critique my work... you, with ZERO TO SHOW FOR YOURSELF!

Face it:

APK
P.S.=> Thus, well... you just KNOW I've just GOTTA say it:

No, You've proven yourself wrong.
"Whatever you're doing is horribly, horribly inefficient, and you still haven't explained why." - by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 24, @12:25PM (#41111127)
Ahem: I did long ago: You blew it - since I outlined it here, already -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41072977
(What's the matter? Your "dyslexia/ADD-ADHD addled brain" miss it?? You're not showing myself, or anyone else here, any different because you missed that)...
* YOU FAIL - learn to read, ac troll...
You're NOTHING, but talk... and screwups, see links below on VB3 & Netscape (man - you really screwed the pooch there, lol)!
Now, of course? You'll downmod this post, as you have all my others via your registered "luser" account, & repeat your same bullshit you did here, once again, since you've defeated yourself once more as usual! Predictable as ever... same old TROLL crap, lol!
APK
P.S.=> Just to "refresh your dull brain" per the link above? Here goes:
Per my subject-line above: IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE, many times less, if you skip the optional "Convert & Filter" + only draw new data from sites that actually DID update (& IF you have a FAST network connection, like FIOS!)... no point in drawing in data you already have!
MOST times, it's LESS than 1 minute in fact (depending on the SIZE of the new data, and if it is needed - you don't NEED to draw data from hosts files' makers sites if they're NOT updated!) and, most of the time? The data is PERFECT from them too!
(That is, unless they alter their site, because a couple of them demanded I do "screen scrapes" instead of file draws/downloads - the latter, never change in structure - the former could, but I have not seen that ever, in 9++ yrs. of running this program here - I take NO chances though, & as I said before to you? I ELIMINATE THAT UNCERTAINTY, simply by putting in the optional "convert & filter" button stage of the 2nd tab titled "Normalize ->"!)
This FACT ALONE blows away your "Big O" bullshit you *tried* to throw @ me, you amateur...
However/Again: I only guarantee absolute PERFECT DATA when & IF you run that optional step (not always needed though - you only need that on daily intakes of NEW data and not always either on files already in the correct format - not full merges with older hosts data you have, since you would have sanitized all new data, first, building it into your "merged final"... doing that, the old data is sanitized already, & the new data gets it right off the bat...)
Still - I recommend, highly, performing that step on NEW data drawn in (though many times, it's NOT needed @ all), because as I said before to you? "Data Perfection, REIGNS!" Especially with file based data... period!
---
Yes - It takes SOME NERVE to "talk a big game" & be a critic too (and screwup like you did here, lol -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41102153 )

Long list of "achievements" APK but missing several important things:
#1 Typing diploma APK?
* Where is your typing diploma APK? LOL! You don't have one!
You prove you don't by not being able to spell simple words like "Schrock". LOL or should I say KERBLAMO!
#2 Python skills
"Skilled" APK can't even cut and paste Python without failing to indent it properly. LOL! Python, the Object Oriented COBOL and APK doesn't understand indenting! LOL! Maybe Dijkstra was right when he said "Learning BASIC causes permanent brain damage." --> here http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41137423
#3 Forgets to mention his crowning achievement: apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe
* LOL Malware APK?
The notorious apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe is so dangerous that respected virus authority spynomore.com describes it as "Threat risk: High Risk. Very dangerous malware. Can log user's keyboard activity and take snapshots of the user's screen. Uses stealth installation and removal is very difficult"
#4 Forgets to name major corporation he "owns" LOL
Why? Because APK doesn't own one! Unlike people like Bill Gates, Thor Schrock, and Mitt Romney APK has never owned a company that had hundreds of people reliant on him for employment.

If you want more current updates? Taskscheduler can do that too... as I had to point out to "armchair admin" LordLimecat (who called others that, lol, oh the "PROJECTION" he was doing was SO APPARENT, I had to spank him with it, for his reprehensible trollery!)

* YOU FAIL - learn to read, ac troll...
You're NOTHING, but talk... and screwups, see links below on VB3 & Netscape (man - you really screwed the pooch there, lol)!
Now, of course? As I said you would:
You DOWNMODDED THIS to *try* "hide it" and your screwups (the original of THIS post -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41161717 )
AND?
Yes - You'll downmod this post, as you have all my others via your registered "luser" account, & repeat your same bullshit you did here, once again, since you've defeated yourself once more as usual!
Predictable as ever... same old TROLL crap, lol!
APK
P.S.=> NOW - Just to "refresh your dull brain" per the link above? Here goes:
Per my subject-line above: IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE, many times less, if you skip the optional "Convert & Filter" + only draw new data from sites that actually DID update (& IF you have a FAST network connection, like FIOS!)... no point in drawing in data you already have!
MOST times, it's LESS than 1 minute in fact(Depending on the SIZE of the new data, and if it is needed - you don't NEED to draw data from hosts files' makers sites if they're NOT updated!) and, most of the time? The data is PERFECT from them too!
(That is, unless they alter their site, because a couple of them demanded I do "screen scrapes" instead of file draws/downloads - the latter, never change in structure - the former could, but I have not seen that ever, in 9++ yrs. of running this program here - I take NO chances though, & as I said before to you? I ELIMINATE THAT UNCERTAINTY, simply by putting in the optional "convert & filter" button stage of the 2nd tab titled "Normalize ->"!)
This FACT ALONE blows away your "Big O" bullshit you *tried* to throw @ me, you amateur...
However/Again: I only guarantee absolute PERFECT DATA when & IF you run that optional step (not always needed though - you only need that on daily intakes of NEW data and not always either on files already in the correct format - not full merges with older hosts data you have, since you would have sanitized all new data, first, building it into your "merged final"... doing that, the old data is sanitized already, & the new data gets it right off the bat...)
Still - I recommend, highly, performing that step on NEW data drawn in (though many times, it's NOT needed @ all), because as I said before to you? "Data Perfection, REIGNS!" Especially with file based data... period!

"Whatever you're doing is horribly, horribly inefficient, and you still haven't explained why." - by Anonymous Coward on Friday August 24, @12:25PM (#41111127)
Ahem: I did long ago: You blew it - since I outlined it here, already -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41072977
(What's the matter? Your "dyslexia/ADD-ADHD addled brain" miss it?? You're not showing myself, or anyone else here, any different because you missed that)...
* YOU FAIL - learn to read, ac troll...
You're NOTHING, but talk... and screwups, see links below on VB3 & Netscape (man - you really screwed the pooch there, lol)!
Now, of course? As I said you would:
You DOWNMODDED THIS to *try* "hide it" and your screwups (the original of THIS post -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41161717 )
AND?
Yes - You'll downmod this post, as you have all my others via your registered "luser" account, & repeat your same bullshit you did here, once again, since you've defeated yourself once more as usual!
Predictable as ever... same old TROLL crap, lol!
APK
P.S.=> NOW - Just to "refresh your dull brain" per the link above? Here goes:
Per my subject-line above: IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE, many times less, if you skip the optional "Convert & Filter" + only draw new data from sites that actually DID update (& IF you have a FAST network connection, like FIOS!)... no point in drawing in data you already have!
MOST times, it's LESS than 1 minute in fact(Depending on the SIZE of the new data, and if it is needed - you don't NEED to draw data from hosts files' makers sites if they're NOT updated!) and, most of the time? The data is PERFECT from them too!
(That is, unless they alter their site, because a couple of them demanded I do "screen scrapes" instead of file draws/downloads - the latter, never change in structure - the former could, but I have not seen that ever, in 9++ yrs. of running this program here - I take NO chances though, & as I said before to you? I ELIMINATE THAT UNCERTAINTY, simply by putting in the optional "convert & filter" button stage of the 2nd tab titled "Normalize ->"!)
This FACT ALONE blows away your "Big O" bullshit you *tried* to throw @ me, you amateur...
However/Again: I only guarantee absolute PERFECT DATA when & IF you run that optional step (not always needed though - you only need that on daily intakes of NEW data and not always either on files already in the correct format - not full merges with older hosts data you have, since you would have sanitized all new data, first, building it into your "merged final"... doing that, the old data is sanitized already, & the new data gets it right off the bat...)
Still - I recommend, highly, performing that step on NEW data drawn in (though many times, it's NOT needed @ all), because as I said before to you? "Data Perfection, REIGNS!" Especially with file based data... period!I did long ago: You blew it - since I outlined it here, already
Don't you rather mean metrix007 (who blew it bad -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41055913 or LordLimecat (blew it worse on gpedit.msc -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41066165 )
"???"
* They BOTH made hugely fundamental mistakes regarding hosts files... bigtime!
On reading (or rather, NOT reading for metrix007)

On networking - LordLimecat really "f'd up" since he was calling those who use hosts files "armchair admins" & I HAD TO SCHOOL HIM ON GPEDIT, lol!

Here too on the same gpedit error & LordLimecat called others "armchair admins"? LMAO -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41054899
* Utterly HILARIOUS - The "wannabe admin" LordLimecat BLEW IT on gpedit (group policies) ability to set parse autoexec &/or logon scripts to migrate ANY FILE, including hosts, from a central location!
AND
If you want more current updates? Taskscheduler can do that too... as I had to point out to "armchair admin" LordLimecat (who called others that, lol, oh the "PROJECTION" he was doing was SO APPARENT, I had to spank him with it, for his reprehensible trollery!)
Of course?
There's also this that I created that can do the same, AND, make the centrally located pristine fresh nomalized/deduplicated uniform entries sorted copy in the 1st place too:

P.S.=> The latter one in my program? That's 1 thing the "armchair admin" (since LordLimecat called anyone who uses a custom host file that, & ended up with "egg on his face" blowing it on "things networking" above) will NEVER be able to do!
How so?

My reaction would be much like Roy Hobbs' was per these quoted great moments from one of the great films of all time "The Natural" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5BEEpendWQ&feature=related (by Mr. Robert Redford - if you have seen it, you'll appreciate its analogous comparison here, & IF you haven't? Then, do - I can only say you're a "deprived child" if you haven't, it's truly a classic that applies here...)...
Albeit - in regards to myself vs. your trolling's HERE on /.'s forums instead!
Where:

2.) metrix007/you
3,) LordLimecat
4.) cbiltcliffe

Plus - Your reaction & those of your fellow trolls AFTER THE ABOVE has been BLATANTLY OBVIOUS - 100's of "downmods" of my posts that pointed out YOUR FAILS!... To *try* to "hide" YOUR numerous failures vs. myself!
(Yes, total failure can do that to a person I suppose, you're all the 'evidence thereof' having seen you all/each stoop to such reprehensibly heinous machinations, that made me laugh bigtime large though... (and there's NO QUESTION, you of ALL trolls here? FAILED!)).
APK
P.S.=> LMAO - THIS? This was My FAVORITE ONE - where I certainly "CLEANED YOUR CLOCKS" trolls...
(ROTFLMAO - Just like how Roy Hobbs broke the field clock & scoreboard vs. the cubs - & judging BY your trollish technical mistakes?? You're STILL
Long list of "achievements" APK but missing several important things:
#1 Typing diploma APK?
* Where is your typing diploma APK? LOL! You don't have one!
You prove you don't by not being able to spell simple words like "Schrock". LOL or should I say KERBLAMO! [youtube.com] [youtube.com]
#2 Python skills
"Skilled" APK can't even cut and paste Python without failing to indent it properly. LOL! Python, the Object Oriented COBOL and APK doesn't understand indenting! LOL! Maybe Dijkstra was right when he said "Learning BASIC causes permanent brain damage." --> here http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3058625&cid=41137423 [slashdot.org] [slashdot.org]
#3 Forgets to mention his crowning achievement: apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe
* LOL Malware APK?
The notorious apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine.exe is so dangerous that respected virus authority spynomore.com describes it as "Threat risk: High Risk. Very dangerous malware. Can log user's keyboard activity and take snapshots of the user's screen. Uses stealth installation and removal is very difficult"
#4 Forgets to name major corporation he "owns" LOL
Why? Because APK doesn't own one! Unlike people like Bill Gates, Thor Schrock, and Mitt Romney APK has never owned a company that had hundreds of people reliant on him for employment.
