Using our knowledge of how the hosts file works, I came up with a fun trick you can play on your friends or relatives when they are using their computers.

All you have to do is have access to their Hosts file and you can pretty much redirect any website to a completely different site.

1) Know the IP of the website you want to redirect to
2) Open the hosts file in administrator mode
3) Add a new entry in the hosts file that looks like this:
(IP of the website you want to redirect to) (space) (website domain name)
example: 111.111.111.111 www.t3chvoid.com
4) Save the hosts file with the new entry.
5) Open your web browser and type in the address of the website, and you will notice it redirects to the other website! 🙂

The hosts file is located in the etc folder: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc (On you computer it may not be the C: drive, so pick the drive that you have your Windows Installed on)

Hope you Enjoy!
