{ The { hosts (i) _7 } file is a computer file used in an operating system to map hostnames to IP addresses.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ The hosts file contains lines of text consisting of { an IP address in the first text field followed by one or more host names (i) _74 }.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ Comments in the hosts file are indicated by { a hash character (#) in the first position of such lines (i) _58 }.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ The location of the hosts file on Windows systems is { %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (i) _41 }.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ The { hosts (i) _7 } file may be used to define any hostname or domain name for use by the local system.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ The hosts file represents { an attack vector (i) _18 } for malicious software.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ The Domain Name System (DNS) is a { hierarchical distributed naming system (i) _40 } for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ The Domain Name System { distributes (i) _13 } the responsibility of assigning domain names and mapping those names to IP addresses. { Authoritative (i) _15 } name servers are assigned to be responsible for their particular domains, and in turn can assign other { authoritative (i) _15 } name servers for their sub-domains.
 * type="{}" coef="3"}

{ A domain name consists of one or more parts, technically called { labels (i) _8 }, that are concatenated and delimited by { dots (.) (i) _10 }.
 * type="{}" coef="2"}

{ The hierarchy of domains within a domain name descends from { right (i) _7 } to { left (i) _6 }.
 * type="{}" coef="2"}

{ Each label in a domain name may contain up to { 63 _4 } characters. The full domain name may not exceed a total length of { 253 _5 } characters.
 * type="{}" coef="2"}

{ Common DNS record types include { A (i) _3 } (address), { AAAA (i) _6 } (IPv6 address), { CNAME (i) _7 } (canonical or alias name), { MX (i) _4 } (mail exchange), { NS (i) _4 } (name server), { PTR (i) _5 } (pointer), { SOA (i) _5 } (start of authority), and { TXT (i) _5 } (text).
 * type="{}" coef="8"}

{ A { non-recursive (i) _15 } query is one in which the DNS server provides a record for a domain for which it is authoritative itself, or it provides a partial result without querying other servers.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ A { recursive (i) _11 } query is one for which the DNS server will fully answer the query (or give an error) by querying other name servers as needed.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ Caching DNS servers cache DNS queries and perform recursive queries to { improve efficiency, reduce DNS traffic across the Internet, and increase performance in end-user applications (i) _111 }.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ A reverse lookup is a query of the DNS for { domain names when the IP address is known (i) _43 } using the IPv4 domain { in-addr.arpa (i) _14 } or the IPv6 domain { ip6.arpa (i) _10 }, and reverse lookup IP addresses are specified in { reverse (i) _9 } order.
 * type="{}" coef="4"}

{ Link Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) is a protocol based on the Domain Name System (DNS) packet format that allows both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts to { perform name resolution for hosts on the same local link (i) _58 }.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ LLMNR responders listen on UDP port { 5355 _6 } on IPv4 address { 224.0.0.252 (MAC address 01-00-5E-00-00-FC) (i) _45 } and IPv6 address { FF02::1:3 (MAC address 33-33-00-01-00-03) (i) _43 }.
 * type="{}" coef="3"}

{ NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT) is a networking protocol that allows { legacy computer applications relying on the NetBIOS API to be used on modern TCP/IP networks (i) _94 }.
 * type="{}" coef="1"}

{ NetBIOS provides three distinct services: { Name service for name registration and resolution on port 137 (i) _63 }, { Datagram distribution service for connectionless communication on port 138 (i) _76 }, and { Session service for connection-oriented communication on port 139 (i) _67 }.
 * type="{}" coef="3"}

{ NetBIOS is a legacy protocol used to support computers and applications that predate { Windows 2000 (i) _14 } and do not support { host names (i) _12 }.
 * type="{}" coef="2"}
