Using the hosts file to block malicious websites
« on: May 18, 2007, 02:11:03 am »
In my latest blog entry, I wrote a short little blurb about this idea. It also links to a pre-built hosts list of advertisment and shock sites (ie, goatse.cx, tubgirl.com).

I don't really feel like going in-depth, because theres nothing in-depth to go to, but basically it redirects all those hosts to 00:00:00:00, rendering you absolutely unable to connect to them.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
