I'm looking for a feature (or file rather) on Windows that allows you to automatically redirect a local user when they visit a certain domain.
For example:
You open the text file (I believe its located in the windows directory).
Then you add a domain name/IP as well as the domain/IP to direct it to, in the following syntax:
www.google.com www.hellboundhackers.org
Upon visiting Google, you would be redirected to HBH.
I read an article on this about a year ago and never got a full understanding of this (hence why I can't remember the terms used, how its done, etc)
Any help / comments / links regarding this would be exorbitantly appreciated.

But why would you want to change it only locally? Sounds like a pain in the ass too me. Though ettercap is fun.

Do tell us, how many years of network administration experience do you have?

You could make a package that replaces the hosts file like this:
paypal.com phishingsite.com
Then if the user runs your package (thinking it is something else or if you bundle it with something else), and they go to paypal they will really be at your phishing site even though paypal.com is where your browser says they are. Then when they try logging in, well you should get the idea by now :P.
If I remember correctly this is called desktop phinishing.

Ooh, smart. Why don't popup blockers incorporate this?

Yeah but you would still have to have access to the box. I guess if you have remote access to the box it would work. That or its your boss at works computer or some bs like that.

Or like they have stated, you can package it into a legit program so you play off the stupidity of the target/s. Sounds to me like you think in a straight line and don't even get close to getting outside the box. Try thinking of new ways to do things and I promise you it'll help in the future.
Note ~ Not trying to flame you, more of constructive criticism. |

I think outside when i have to. The way he worded it though sounded like he was just wanting to change it locally on his own system or something for fun.
