To do this, type the IP address you wish to assign, followed by two tabs and the hostname.
In our example, we’ll pretend that the computer we’re using is a device that we want to use exclusively for work, not allowing ourselves to get distracted by Facebook on our work machine. In addition to testing newly developed websites and web hosting migrations, another reason to edit the hosts file is to block access to specific websites. To edit the file, you’ll add your own lines after broadcasthost. It also contains default IP values for localhost and broadcasthost. For each line, any text after the pound sign is ignored by the computer, making it a good way to add notes and descriptions to your files. If you want to make a copy of stroke into a directory and then add it to your environment variable’s PATH you can then use it without needing to change your working directory.Any line that starts with a # sign is a comment and is not read by the /etc/hosts file. So if you want to port scan for port 80 the following would achieve such a lofty goal:īecause the name has to resolve, you’re actually able to check whether a DNS error occurs and whether you can communicate over port 80 to the host in one command. You should also stroke others ( Clarence Carter be damned!). For example, if you want to port scan port 80 on your own system you could use the following:īut you shouldn’t just stroke yourself (sorry, couldn’t help it). Once you are in the /Applications/Utilities/Network Utility.app/Contents/Resources, you will need to provide stroke with an IP address (or name), followed by the first port to scan and then the last (or the same number twice if your range is only one IP address. To use stroke, you will need to cd into the Network Utility application bundle and then cd into Contents and then Resources. Stroke is the command line back-end to the Port Scan tab of Network Utility. Enter one of the best named tools in Mac OS X, stroke. Since Network Utility is distributed with every copy of Mac OS X it stands to reason that every copy of Mac OS X has the ability to scan a port without using a GUI tool. Network Utility has a port scanner – it’s built in and really easy to use. It’s not nmap, but then it’s not meant to be.
