>When you put an ip address in your HOSTS file, you are telling the DNS to use that server to resolve the URL to an ip

I think I know what you're trying to say but you stated it incorrectly. The "hosts" file completely bypasses the DNS lookup. That is, the domain name (not URL) is resolved to an IP address without ever contacting a DNS server.

>it can route all your traffic via a man-in-the-middle

Possible but very difficult to do with an HTTPS connection. The certificate must match the domain name (media.8kun.top) else the browser will reject it. Yes, the user could instruct the browser to accept the invalid certificate but it is the same user who performed the "hosts" modification in the first place. That user should be aware of the possibility.

That's not napalm. That's lighter fluid. With a small helping of nitrous oxide.

>>14485725

It's about spreading the risk and skirting around the censorship.

>>14485772

No red text this time?

>>14485796

I don't know what Jim is talking about. My hobby is hacking websites and I routinely go where I'm not supposed to. I don't see why I would make some kind of gentleman's agreement to not access the media server. If it's on the Internet, it's meant to be accessed.

>>14485876

Changing the "hosts" file to access the media server.

Been talking about this for several hours.

>>14485898

Jim is saying that there is a "risk" but hasn't specified what it is. It's bullshit.

Does anyone remember that the DNS went down for "sys.8kun.top" in April and there were only two ways in? Either Tor (which was allowed for posting at the time) or hacking the "hosts" file. Otherwise, your only choice was to go to 4chan or something.

Short memories, it seems.

>>14485933

Kek. That would be sweet.

>>14485934

I don't think there is any way to detect a MIM unless you can compare the trace route to a previous trace route that is known to not have a MIM.

>It was very convenient to grab and save and then share, in that format.

The Deep State wants you to go somewhere else for your memes. And Jim seems to be encouraging that.

Make of that what you will.

>>14485970

I still don't have anything in my "hosts" file. Technically, all this talk about not modding the "hosts" file does not apply to me. I hack websites as a hobby. I don't stoop to such a lowly method of bypassing the DNS. Kek.

>>14485984

Do you think the black hats are too stupid to bypass the DNS?

>>14486026

>>14486032

Yeah, sorry. I was starting feel a little pissy. Don't like being told what to do, if you know what I mean.

>>14486051

You can call me a niggerfaggot anyway.

>>14486053

That link is irrelevant to the current discussion.

It's my report on the DNS fuckery which began at the end of April.

>>14486056

No. It's Jim and the shills who seem intent on warning us about hacking the "hosts" file. Who are they to decide?

>>14486082

Thanks for the support.

>>14486083

They could post on another site. That's utterly impractical for memes, though.

>>14486085

Q got there first. The Deep State can only tag along. Kek.

>>14486091

One billion glowies!

>>14486097

Just an average Sunday morning.

>>14486118

Nothing to be concerned about. That's been going on since the end of April. Comped DNS servers in China.

>>14486167

I have the name field disabled on my board. Only the owner can type in a name. So, no glowie.

>>14486275

>why doesn't Jim just point to these severs to resolve???

Jim could just call Vanwanet and tell them to update the name server.

Why doesn't he?

>>14486314

If it was really a serious matter then why won't Jim shut off the server? Who is meant to access it? Why only fiddle with the IP address?

>>14486362

>kek, they're pretty bored if they know all about my life

Holy shit. Don't remind me that my life has been a series of non-events for at least a decade. They can't even track my purchases because I buy almost nothing besides groceries and utilities. Kek.

>>14486385

That looks like a guy that you might want to yell at for not wearing a mask. NOT.

>>14486402

>for fucks sake this argument needs to fucking die already.

In case you haven't noticed, we're already tapped out.

>>14486408

Good advice. But it only works on a Firefox browser because Chrome is stupid.

>>14486423

Build a fort.

>>14486435

>DNS requests go over VPN as well

That's a bad configuration. The DNS lookup should be delegated to the VPN server. That is also the recommended method of accessing clearnet over Tor.

Daaamn! This guy knows his stuff!

>>14486458

Cool. I was getting bored here.
