I.E /FF address bar manipulation

Pantcho!! · Post by **Pantcho!!** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 10:31 am

Hello,
I have a generel question regarding domain names and domain masking in the browsers address bar.

I would to create a little software that helps manage certing stuff,By catching the address from the address bar of the browser and then filter it.
I mean grabbing the address when the user has input and press enter/go
and the software will check the domain name and if it consists a bad word such as SEX or somthing it will forward it to a diffrent IP but stays with the SAME name in the address bar.

This need to manipulate I.E with accessing the DNS server and name servers etc etc.

I tought of 2 options,
1. hard one - making a proxy server - which make users want to avoid using proxies.
2. easy one - edit the HOSTS file in the "...drivers\etc\hosts" and create whatever name i wish or change on the fly (can be suspicous for hijacking browser and this method is bad idea becuase of many spywares)

any suggestions? :roll:

(can be suspicous for hijacking browser and this method is bad idea becuase of many spywares)

Don't know how suspicious it is; but it is an easy thing to change. And many knows the trick..

The proxy server would allow you to check the content of the page too; wich would help you create a bettter filter. You could make a point system for words too and so on.

Be aware of the word "SEX", as it also means gender; this is also the problem with other words. Just because a page contains the word "porn" doesnt mean its a porn page. It could also be a page against it or so.
