The http_server.py script doesn't really seem to be necessary, since Python 3.6 includes its own http server module.

Code:
python -m http.server 80

(Requires root on *nix and OSX though, much like the http_server.py script would)

That said, nice work though.

Why is this even posted here? And why is everyone excited?
Someone just changed the dns of their switch to point to a html file, big whoop.

It's the first or was the first public tool released, that automated/allowed this progress. No one said it was anything groundbreaking.

Instead of being negative how about trying to contribute something yourself instead of talking down on others like you know everything and are a perfect being. The community can't move foreword if everyone keeps everything to themselves, anything helps no matter how big or small. Would you rather this be another "omg my system crashed I found an exploit" thread?

For example this allowed us to figure out the limitations of the browser and exactly what it can and can't do.

But you're right we should all sit back and look at the glass as half empty like you and just let someone else do all this work years down the line in secret /s

You are wrong this is not the first public tool released. This has been around since the 1980's.
If you think this is an exploit of somekind or a hacking tool, you should post this on every hacking forum you can get in to and change the title "[Release Hijack all]"

...you're joking right?
It's not about the fact that we can redirect a fucking connection lol, It's about the fact that by doing so we can actually have a "browser" on this system, as it normally does not have.

Also, by definition, this is an exploit. It is utilizing something in a way that was not intended by the developer, but even then, no one is calling this an "exploit". AS the title says, we're hijacking the web applet, nothing more, nothing less. What's your problem?

This isnt a release of anything new or new knowledge to to help with further development.
The only way this could be considered legit was if the title was "Noob guide on how to change the switch dns".
Here http://code.activestate.com/recipes/491264-mini-fake-dns-server/ this guy released a switch browser hack 10 years ago, the comments are even the same ... he can see the future.

To be fair if it wasn't something then sites like wololo or hackinformer wouldn't have wrote news articles on this.

You're right though this was so simple it shouldn't be a thing and we should have kept it secret from the community /s

Honestly this just sounds like you're salty that you didn't think of doing this first. You're free to sit here and complain however. The rest of us will continue to be productive and actually try and contribute something to the community

You're so ignorant it's like trying to explain algebra to a 3 year old that doesn't even know how to count to 10 yet.
Have fun being productive.
Bye bye now.

You're the ignorant one here. No doubts about that. You come in here and start making a bunch of stupid claims, completely missing the point of the entire topic, talking about it being bullshit etc when there's a lot of interest in it. If you think we're too stupid for you, then by all means, don't be here! :)

Why don't you go do a survey and ask people "do you know 1+1?" and "do you know how to set up a DNS server to reroute a domain to another?" and show me the results?

I've got no problem if the topic was a tutorial to show people how to setup a dns server.
This topic pretends to be something different though.

For those who want to test multiple sites quickly and easily I have just added an html file to DNSwitch that redirects to dnswitch.redthetrainer.com This will allow you to test to your hearts content with minimal effort
