Arquivo Hosts: O que é, para que serve e como utilizar.

Overview

Bem-vindo ao fascinante mundo dos arquivos Hosts - aquele pequeno arquivo com um grande impacto em como navegamos na internet. Desde a sua origem, passando pela sua finalidade até chegar na sua localização nos mais diversos sistemas operacionais, vamos explorar como esse simples arquivo de texto pode fazer uma grande diferença, facilitando o redirecionamento de domínios locais ou até mesmo bloqueando o acesso a certos websites indesejados. Vem comigo nessa jornada pelos bastidores da web!

Hosts é um arquivo texto do sistema operacional que mapeia hostnames e endereços IP. Originalmente chamado de HOSTS.TXT, mantido e disponibilizado manualmente Stanford Research Institute. Atualmente, este arquivo é disponibilizado em juntamente com o sistema operacional.

Basicamente, o Hosts serve para redirecionar domínios locais e bloquear o acesso a recursos na internet.

Exemplos

  • Hosts Original do Windows
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
#       127.0.0.1       localhost
#       ::1             localhost
