This script is a simple wrapper around downloading and installing Pollock’s [hosts file](http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/).

Dan Pollock maintains a list of servers to block based on community reports. This list is then simply formatted as a [hosts file](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file).

A hosts file maps hostnames (i.e. domains) to IPs. It does the same job as a DNS, but the lookup is made entirely locally.
We use this feature to map all the domains we want to blacklist to the IP address [`0.0.0.0`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0).

This feature is used to map all the domains to blacklist to the [`0.0.0.0` IP meta-address](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0).
