[wp-hackers] Running WordPress "offline"?

[Chloé Desoutter]

Hi,

Hack your VM so the WordPress.org, etc. domain names will resolve to
nothing. Another option is to prevent DNS resolution at all so it will
simply error out.

You want it to fail instantly instead of failing late (after finding out
your VM can't reach its DNS server...)

Yours sincerely
