GSA CB Writing to host file even when not set to simulate

royalmice

@sven

I have some custom redirects in my host file, but everytime i start GSA CB it strips my custom entries in the host file.
I dont have any of the options checked in GSA CB to simulate or to run as web server, so why is GSA CB still writing to host file.

Sven please fix GSA CB to NOT write to host file when non of the simulate options are selected

go to 

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\GSA Captcha Breaker

and open the config file

then just remove the hosts 

royalmice

Thanks @mashafeeq

mashafeeq

np

royalmice

@mashafeeq  sorry that did not help at all.
I removed all of the host in the config file, saved it.

Then i restarted GSA CB and it again added all the host back into the config file, also activated to simulate some services

mashafeeq

just open ur skype i will pm u there

@sven This is what the host section inside my config file looks like :

[host modify]
on=0
decaptcher=0
bypasscaptcha=0
dbc=0
captchatypers=0
captchatrader=0
antigate=0
captchabot=0
fasttypers=0
beatcaptchas=0
shanibpo=0
imagedecoders=0
linkassistant=0
captchax=0
pixodrom=0
ripcaptcha=0
webvisum=0

However when i restart GSA CB it is still messing with my host file and remove the entry i have for : xx.xx.xx.xx api.captchax.com

royalmice

it seems it is ignoring ( on=0 ) and still write to host file.

Sven

host is modified even though you have it turned off. Thats because if CB e.g. crashes and was not closed correctly, it still would have the entries in it which should be fixed at least on a new start.
What redirects are we talking about here anyway?

@Sven

What does crashing of gsa cb has to do with the host file. I DO NOT have the option checked to similate -- therefor  GSA CB should NOT write or edit the host file.

I have this in the host file :
xx.xx.xx.xx api.captchax.com

everytime i restart gsa cb it removes it

Sven

well if this is still part of the host file and CB sees the option is actually turned off...it has to remove it, else it's simulated for CB.

royalmice

@sven

I can understand that it will edit will edit the host file if i have enabled to simulate any services.
But when it is like below screenshot where  the option to simulate is not checked, then GSA CB should NOT edit the host file

If
on=1   - then edit host file

If like below image
on=0   - then skip edit host file

Sven

Well "api.captchax.com" is one of the simulated services. If you turn that option off, then CB has to remove it, else it is not according to settings.

royalmice

@sven Please just answer me this : I dont  check anything to be simulated so WHY does it still have to edit the host file.

I have captcha x checked in GSA SER and sending to an external service via host file redirect. I dont want GSA CB to edit every time i restart it.

why cant you just add a rule like:  if [host modify] \ on=0   - then skip edit host file

mashafeeq

if as sven said 

that the gsa cb didnt exit then

ctrl+alt+del

then go to process

then select gsa cb process and click end process

it will exit from it totally

then go edit the host file manually

then open gsa cb

royalmice

I dont want to edit the darn host file everytime i restart or update gsa cb.

Sven

Well  I just can't and don't want to change the way CB works on the modification. However I got a solution for you in pm.

royalmice

Sven, Thank you very much the PM solution works perfect.
