# Host file free for distribution. # # This is the HOSTS file I use on my Windows computer at home. # By intercepting IP address lookup actions from Mozilla Firefox # and other applications, I can prevent advertising from appearing # in pop-up windows and in normal web browsing. It's also good for # preventing some spyware and malware applications from propogating, # although you should always use real scanning tools to be # completely safe. # # Even if you're not familiar with TCP/IP, you might already have # noticed that devices on the Internet are identified by a series # of four numerals separated by periods. Although the math is # actually a little more complicated, it's enough to know that # there could be over four billion unique addresses based on this # system. When your computer needs to get to a website or some other # resource on the Internet, it ask a Domain Name System server (or # DNS server) what number goes with what name. In the case of any # Windows computer, it will look in the HOSTS file before it asks # a DNS server. By making use of this system, we can fool the # computer into thinking that addresses leading to advertising or # unwanted applications aren't available on the Internet by pointing # these names to the computer asking for the information. # # The address 127.0.0.1 is the address that a computer uses to # refer to itself, and that's reflected in the first entry for the # name 'localhost.' You should never remove that line. However, any # other line below can be pointed to any other address as you see # fit, with no restrictions. You may notice below that many # popular advertising services are intercepted on my machine, # including kliptracker, casalemedia, and overture. By misusing the # hosts file this way, I never see sales pitches from big media # companies, animated monkey targets, wireless web cameras or # dating services. This makes web browsing a much more relaxed # affair for me. # # Feel free to use this file if you like. Keep in mind that you might # actually want to browse to some of the sites I block eBay and # Macromedia, since I strongly object to their business practices. I # also have certain portions of yahoo and some of the popular # counter sites. You should remove lines and add lines depending on # your own needs. If you see an advertisement and would like to # add it, you can generally right-click on a picture or a web site # and select the 'properties' menu item to see what IP address name # it's using. If adding that entry to the hosts file keeps you from # browsing some place, simply remove it. For this reason, it's a good # idea to make changes to this file one line at a time. # # To use this file, highlight all the text and paste it into Notepad # or your favorite editor. Save it to the appropriate directory in # your Windows systems folder, which is probably one of these: # # C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc # C:\WinNT\System32\drivers\etc # # Or some variant of that. Make sure the file name is "hosts" with # no file extension, and not "hosts.txt" or "hosts.doc" or whatever. # Have fun beating the boys from big business. # # The examples given below come from the original Microsoft host file: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 ebay.com 127.0.0.1 www.ebay.com 127.0.0.1
