1) windows has a hosts and resolve.conf file (don’t ask me where it is but I’ve seen it and it works)
2) what are likely the most risky applications tend to ignore the libc resolver and its configuration.
- joshuaissac 7y agoThe Windows hosts file is usually at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. Winsock was modelled after BSD, hence the resemblance in the filename. /etc/resolv.conf is available from Bash when WSL is enabled. It reflects the settings from the registry by default, but can be made to be independent of them.
