Blocking Unwanted Connections with a Hosts File

Blocking Unwanted Connections with a Hosts File
What it does ... You can use a modified HOSTS file to block ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and even most hijackers and possibly unwanted programs. This is accomplished by blocking the connection(s) that supplies these little gems. Example - the following entry 0.0.0.0 ad.doubleclick.net blocks all files supplied by that DoubleClick Server to the web page you are viewing. Using a well designed HOSTS file can speed the loading of web pages by not having to wait for these ads, annoying banners, hit counters, etc. to load. In case you're wondering ... this all happens in microseconds, which is much faster than trying to fetch a file from half way around the world. Special Note: new Windows 10 users ... the MVPS Hosts file installs just fine, no need to make any changes. Simply follow the instructions for Windows 10/8 MVPS HOSTS includes entries for most major parasites, hijackers and unwanted Adware/Spyware programs! Windows DNS Client Service Important!

Hostess Hostess is a free utility for maintaining your HOSTS file. Unlike many HOSTS file utilities, Hostess is geared towards ad-blocking rather than IP address resolution. Hostess stores your host entries in a database that is indexed to eliminate duplicates and make searching fast and easy. It also allows you to group these hosts for efficiency and ease of maintenance. Installing the program is also easy: just create a directory, extract the contents of the zip file into it and create a shortcut to Hostess.exe. Messing with the HOSTS file is not for the inexperienced user. Sunday, March 23, 2008 - Hostess 4.1 Hostess now supports imports and exports in plain text format! Wednesday, December 05, 2007 - Vista feedback wanted I still haven't heard from any Vista users whether the requireAdministrator manifest I linked in makes things any easier for you.

RS-232 Communications (software) Now that we understand the hardware part of the picture, let's dive right into the software part. We'll take a look at each part of the puzzle by defining a few of the common terms. Ever wondered what phrases like 9600-8-N-1 meant? Do you use software-handshaking or hardware-handshaking at formal parties for a greeting? ASCII is a human-readable to computer-readable translation code. The picture below shows how data leaves the serial port for the character "E" (45h 100 0101b) and Even parity. Another important thing that is sometimes used is called software handshaking (flow control). The last thing we should know about is delimiters. Sometimes an STX and ETX pair is used for transmission/reception as well. Finally, we might also come across an ACK/NAK pair. RS-232 has a lot of information to absorb, so feel free to reread it.

LMHOSTS File If you experience name resolution issues on your TCP/IP network, you may have to use Lmhosts files to resolve NetBIOS names. This article discusses the correct method to create an Lmhosts file to help in name resolution and domain validation. To create a correctly formatted Lmhosts file, follow these steps: Use any text editor, such as Notepad.exe or Edit.com, to create a file named Lmhosts, and save it in the following folder: Microsoft Windows NT ---------- %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\Etc Microsoft Windows 95 ---------- C:\Windows (the folder where Windows is installed) Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000 --------------------------- %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\Etc Note The file name is Lmhosts, without an extension. If you use Notepad.exe, it may automatically append the .txt extension. To help determine where the sixteenth character is, copy the following line to your Lmhosts file: # IP Address "123456789012345*7890" ( )

Audit and document Security User Rights Assignment using C# | Network Audit and Documentation, CENTREL Solutions Blog For more information on the Windows Server documentation abilities of XIA Configuration please see the following We've recently been asked about the auditing of User Rights Assignment as seen in the Local Group Policy Editor. Having looked into this issue it is apparent that this cannot be done with any high level API such as WMI and requires the use of P/Invoke and the Win32 method LsaEnumerateAccountsWithUserRight. I've seen many posts on the Internet on the topic but I haven't seen a simplified example of this in use so have writen a quick C# sample application to enumerate the various rights and privileges and display the users assigned to that right in a grouped listview as per the screenshot below.
