Mac: location of hosts file

The hosts file on Mac is located at: /private/etc/hosts
The easiest way to modify it is using pico, you need to have WRITE permissions to do so.

 ~ $ cd /private/etc/
 /private/etc $ pico hosts

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
