Replacing Hosts File


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm pretty new here and pretty new in AutoIT. I'm testing droppers / trojans they allways edit my hosts file. I'm looking for a simple, understable script which download a hosts file from www.examplesite.abc/download/hosts (the hosts file) and copy to %windirr%system32/drivers/etc

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks,

nyinyara,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum. :)

But please pay attention to where you post - this thread is in the "Examples" section which very clearly states "This is NOT a general support forum!". I will move it for you but do take more care in future. ;)

I would also like a little more info on your "testing droppers / trojans" remark - what exactly do you mean by this? Please read the Forum rules (link at bottom right of each page) and make sure you follow them while you are here. :)

Oh, really sorry thats my bad.

Me and some of my friends fighting against warez and botnets, rats, keyloggers etc in Hungary (Central Europe). We disassembling trojans to find where they are redirect and we report them to the dns providers.

We have some test PC's and sometimes its get infected, Its a really new project and some of our coders are really busy they have family, job, hobbies, etc. And they are dont have any experience in AutoIt (I'm try to learning it) thats why I ask some help here.

To backup hosts file everytime is a kind of time waste.

Cheers,

(Sorry for my bad english, its not my native language)

Have you thought of using virtual machines instead? That way if something gets changed, all you have to do is restore from a snapshot. It's much easier than trying to clean it after it's been infected in any way.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

My problem with virtual machines is : a lot ot trojan detect it and then they won't run perfectly.

So to edit hosts files manually on more than 15 pc is really uncomfortable.

Can some one help me ?

Thanks.

Edit: And they are mostly old pc's (Pentium 3) they not enough strength to run virtual machine.

That isn't copying.

Yes, Its just download the hosts file to my desktop,

So,

MsgBox(-1,"hostfile", "copy hosts on the desktop to the etc folder")

inetget("http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt", @DesktopDir & "/hosts", 1)

FileCopy(@DesktopDir & "/hosts", "C:\Windows\System32\driversetc", 1)

Is it correct ? And it will overwrite the hosts file ?

You can try and download it directly to the destination folder instead of using FileCopy after it's finished. With Xp there shouldn't be much in the way of security issues.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.
