Mengapa dengan cara ini bisa mencegah banner? Sebenarnya sederhana saja. File host.sam merupakan file yang digunakan untuk melakukan mapping IP Address ke nama host. IP Address 127.0.0.1 merupakan IP Address dari komputer Anda. Dengan menambahkan baris di atas ke dalam file host.sam maka saat Anda surfing dan browser menemukan alamat dari salah satu server di atas (atau lebih tepatnya file yang terletak pada salah satu alamat server di atas) maka browser akan mencoba mencari file tersebut ke dalam komputer Anda (yang tentu saja tidak mungkin ketemu).
