DNS cache?
Are you on FF or Chrome?

Check that your hosts file isn't protected.
Clear your cache.

If you’re using BHW for entertainment purposes, you’re using it wrong imo

There is nothing wrong with spending a lot of time here, as long as you learn and make money from what you've learned.

You should not have http/https there because the hosts file is a DNS resolution file and does not take account of the protocol (http/https/ftp etc.)

Try this:

Code:

127.0.0.1 blackhatworld.com
127.0.0.1 www.blackhatworld.com

Also, try running the following from the command prompt after changing your hosts file:

ipconfig /flushdns
