# Software description:
# The Pi-hole is an advertising-aware DNS/Web server. If an ad domain is queried,
# a small Web page or GIF is delivered in place of the advertisement.
# You can also replace ads with any image you want since it is just a simple
# Webpage taking place of the ads.
# Note: Not much of a vulnerability, implies you already have access
# to the box to begin with. Still best to use good coding practices,
# and avoid such things.
