Acrylic DNS Proxy
A local DNS proxy which improves the performance of your computer
Acrylic is a local DNS proxy for Windows which improves the performance of your computer by caching the responses coming from your DNS servers and helps you fight unwanted ads through the use of a custom HOSTS file (optimized for handling hundreds of thousands of domain names) with support for wildcards and regular expressions. When you browse a web page a portion of the loading time is dedicated to name resolution while the rest is dedicated to the transfer of the web page contents. What Acrylic does is to reduce the time dedicated to name resolution for frequently visited addresses closest to zero possible. Furthermore Acrylic's sliding expiration caching mechanism and DNS silent updates are able to improve the browsing experience independently of the browser. With Acrylic you can also gracefully overcome downtimes of your DNS servers without disrupting your work, because in that case you will at least be able to connect to your favourite websites and to your email server. -

Gobuster
Directory/File, DNS and VHost busting tool written in Go
Gobuster is a tool used to brute-force. This project is born out of the necessity to have something that didn't have a fat Java GUI (console FTW), something that did not do recursive brute force, something that allowed me to brute force folders and multiple extensions at once, something that compiled to native on multiple platforms, something that was faster than an interpreted script (such as Python), and something that didn't require a runtime. Provides several modes, like the classic directory brute-forcing mode, DNS subdomain brute-forcing mode, the mode that enumerates open S3 buckets and looks for existence and bucket listings, and the virtual host brute-forcing mode (not the same as DNS!). Since this tool is written in Go you need to install the Go language/compiler/etc. Full details of installation and set up can be found on the Go language website. Once installed you have two options. You need at least go 1.16.0 to compile gobuster. -

DNS-Based Host Blocking for Android
DNS-based Host Blocker (and lightweight ad blocker) for Android
This is a DNS-based host blocker for Android. In the default configuration, several widely-respected host files are used to block ads, malware, and other weird stuff. On the first start, you must manually update the hosts files (using the refresh button) before the service can work correctly (issue #1); and you must also update the hosts files yourself regularly for now. Items in the hosts and DNS servers lists can be moved around and removed) of the list using standard RecyclerView interactions (long press makes the entry movable, swipe to either side removes it). For hosts, a later entry overrides a previous entry; for DNS servers, the first server is preferred. There's also no validation of input, so DNS servers that are not valid IPv4 addresses are not rejected, neither are URLs for DNS server entries (we intend to support URLs in the future, so you can point the app to a remote list of servers). -

SysMate - Hosts File Walker
Powerful, lightweight and portable Windows Hosts File Editor
SysMate - Hosts File Walker is an approachable and portable software application that facilitates a user-friendly working environment for helping you manage the Hosts file. You don't need to care about the hosts file. SysMate - Host File Walker has been designed to cater for the hosts's file structure, entry insertion and DNS to IP conversion. So you don't need to know the IP of either the DNS you are diverting from or the one you are porting to. SHFW automatically resolves the IP, detects for conflict within the hosts file and warns you to make changes. The GUI is represented by a normal window with a plain and simple structure that contains an example on how the Hosts file should look like. You can add as many new hosts to the file as you want by specifying the IP address and site (DNS), delete the Hosts file or restore its settings to default, restore the last modified Hosts, as well as back up and restore data. There are no other notable options available here. -
