classicgogger: That's not how it works. The hosts file translates domains to ip's. It cannot redirect an ip to another ip.

Cavenagh: So why is it, when I put facebook and twitters IP's in the host file, firefox can't conect to them.
Which one? Both facebook and twitter have a whole lot of IP's.

What works is something like that

127.0.0.1 facebook.com

because it first asks the OS to resolve a domain name to some IP. You cannot resolve an IP to another IP.

You're wrong.

You belive in what you want, I use IP's to block sites. The end.

Cavenagh: LOL my computer got cracked last night, I was playing borderlands 1, and alt-tab out to see the latest football scores, and I couldn't close firefox or bring the Task manager. up.

So I rebooted, and the fecker changed my login password for both win7 and winXP. Took me ages to recover windows 7, then I lost dual boot. I downloaded a program EasyBCD to get dual boot back. now all I had to do was reset my password on windowsXP.

I had to be a bit naughty and download a "Trial" of Active password recovery. and was able to remove the password from windowsXP via win7.

Had a look at my routers firewall log, someone did a IDS parse scan, and showed the IP address 68.116.5.134 [past that IP address into google, the anti hacker group are after them!]

Anyway I put that IP in my host file 127.0.0.1 68.116.5.134

Just goes to show it can happen to anyone, the thing is, I have netbios turned off, so shouldn't be giving out any username info.

All is back to normal now., they don't seem to have done any harm to my system [most prob got distracted by all my nice vids lol }

All the best
your experience is awesome. what would you advise to victims of ransomware, what is the best way to recover encrypted data without paying any ransom. for instance, how would you handle the TestlaCrypt 3.0 attack? Thanx!!!
