I.E /FF address bar manipulation
Posted: 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:
