It's a pretty simple process, I personally hate it when ad's slow down my surfing experience, so here's the step-by-step hack to making those pesky ad's go away!!
1.You need to be able to transfer files to your iPhone, so you can either install OpenSSH application using Cydia or use iPhone software like iPhoneBrowser (for Windows), or Winscp (for windows also).
2.Then go to Settings -> Wi-Fi, click on arrow next to the Wi-Fi server you are currently using on your iPhone and write down the IP address.
3.If you are not using iPhone software like iPhoneBrowser to transfer files from your computer to your iPhone and vice versa, then you will need and FTP client with SFTP (secure SSH connection over FTP). Windows users can try FileZilla while Mac users can use Cyderduck.
4.Download the replacement host file from this link. (Please note that the host file downloaded from this link will also disable Apple's kill-switch mechanism to deactivate iPhone apps). Note: If you want to use the Categories App, then please remove the 127.0.0.1 mm.admob.com line from the downloaded replacement host file, otherwise mentioned by reader, Zai, it will not work. If you don't want to disable Apple's kill-switch mechanism then remove this line as well 127.0.0.1 iphone-services.apple.com from the replacement host file.
5.Open your FTP client, set it to connect over an SFTP connection, and then put your iPhone's IP address (the one your had written down in step 2) in the "host" section. The username and password (unless you changed them) are root and alpine, respectively. The connection may take a few minutes at first, and you may be asked to accept a host key; say yes to any prompts. In case the connection fails try again.
6.Take a backup of the host file on your iPhone before you override the host file. You will find it in /etc folder at your iPhone's root directory.
7.After taking the backup, replace the host file on your iPhone with the replacement host file you had downloaded in step 4.
8.Close your FTP client and restart your iPhone.
