[How To] Editing hosts files to block websites



After many days i've writing the article to let you describe the process of modifyng the hosts.cfg files which will let you block some sites and this will become a loophole for the one who try to crack the softwares, as block the update servers of the softwares wont communicate the client software.

So, now i'll let you know the process of editing the hots files with our URL's that need to be blocked,
follow the below process,

%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Please note that the file has no extension. 

To find the file manually:
1. Open "My Computer"
2. Open Drive C
3. Open Windows folder
4. Open System32 folder
5. Open Drivers folder
6. Open Etc folder
7. Double-click the hosts file and choose to open using Notepad when you're asked.




** if you get "access denied" errors when trying to save the file, try opening the file using "Run as Administrator". this issue happens usually when you're working on Win Vista/7 with UAC turned on.


*** on Win8 you can't just edit the file and save it on it's original location. instead, edit the file and save it on the Desktop. later replace the original file with the new one you saved on the desktop using the file explorer's Copy-Paste. You will probably be asked to confirm the action using Administrator account.

By using this technique many hackers will crack the softwares like Adobe products, and IDM.
