jeebus, can someone explain to me HOW adding IP's and names to your hosts file is risky?
I'm a lazy fag, can you summarize?
It's just name and IP resolution, u can either get it from hosts file or DNS. Same damn shit.
I just did it and it works fine.
moran, hosts files are not platform specific
name/ip resolution is name/ip resolution no matter from hosts or dns.
Now if Watkins is saying his image servers are comp'd that's a diff story. That would mean the entire site is comp'd.
explain how in the fuck would a man in the middle work when using a hosts file?
The shit all works the same. You have name/Ip resolution either way. You request from name out goes to DNS, gets ip, brings it back to you and ur networks sends out request.
With hosts you go direct to local file form ip, and bam, ur networks sends its shit out. A DNS would be moar vulnerable.
so you're telling me those IP's floating around the board are traps and not the actual 8kun image server clusters?
wtf, ur on 8kun. this shit is never safe. u can try and hide behind VPN's all fukken day and ur kidding yourself if u think ur safe.
Ur traffic can be tracked, vpn hosts logs gleaned in a matter of seconds.
THEY know all about you!!!!
now do Novell
