My half baked idea.

Hey guys, this is kind of a run off of some less complicated scams but I figured I'd bounce the idea off you.

Say I was to create a website with a subdomain (co.fakeweb.com). I then set up the website to look almost exact to co.91.com. I then ping the fake website and retreive the IP address of it. From there I go about creating a "hack" that does not work. Instead it edit's the reciever's hosts file and sets it to redirect co.91.com to co.fakeweb.com.

On fakeweb I set the site up to have a "Promotional Event" en which they're giving away a valuable item for free, all the player has to do is log on to claim it.

Do you think this would be effective?
Is it possible to program a program to write to the hosts file (I know you can write to other files, but maybe system32 files are harder to get to. .I dunno)?

(This is a run off of SHTEPH's Site scam, credits go to him on that.)

Well I was just thinking this would get the more cautious players to give into the scam. and if it were to be attached to a working hack then it could get spread, generating more "income". I'd love to see your source code, if you could upload it or send it to my email that'd be great.
