https://veryhost.googlecode.com/files/windwos.txt interesting, is small and divided as ads, Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Flickr, Wikipedia, could be used as white-listing

Inmortal domains: http://malwaredomains.lehigh.edu/files/immortal_domains.txt http://malwaredomains.lehigh.edu/files/justdomains just domains, but if you look at https://mirror.cedia.org.ec/malwaredomains/ you will see a lot of files... here are information about source of data, and dates, etc... http://malwaredomains.lehigh.edu/files/domains.txt mirror: https://mirror.cedia.org.ec/malwaredomains/ mirror: http://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/

Ok, these seems to work well, others seems to had false positives or are too big...

Some of these domains are already included. Windows 10 "privacy tools" have caused issues for me, the store app wasn't able to update for example.

[braian87b]

@07416 Yes, happened same to me, but this three seems to be secure to be appended, I had no problems so far...

HostsFile.org
SecureMecca.com
hpHosts-*

as I mentioned in code earlier I removed these below ones because I want to be compatible with some 32mb OpenWrt boxes of some friends and I dont wan't to use more than 4Mb of that RAM. (With more RAM this shouldn't be a problem):

rm -rf data/hpHosts-fraud    # 2.9 Mb
rm -rf data/hpHosts-phishing # 3.8 Mb
rm -rf data/hpHosts-malware  # 3.8 Mb

But as I mentioned here https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues/161 would be great to add white lists of secure domains to people that wants to allow microsoft domains (for updates, etc) or google domains (to allow google analytics or google adwords, etc) or others. In that manner if some source adds those domains would be protected... I am currently out of time busy with others projects, but in a future will try to add this feature (last time I have done the same that does this script, this script didn't exist at that time, and I use a bash script as example and modified to allow multiple whitelists.

[Atavic]

Good idea about caring about OpenWRT.

[braian87b]

@Atavic What I do is to run this scripts on a remote server and copy the hosts file to a /var/www/vhosts/domain/subdomain location, in that way I could download the hosts file easily from a OpenWrt device running a hotplug script (on wan-up) or cron schedule with a simple wget call to /tmp/block.hosts

Great Idea, I just write add a page on the Docs:

AutoUpdate-on-OpenWRT-based-box-(also-works-on-LEDE)

[Atavic]

My opinions, as someone who prefers to risk some false positive than leave some holes opened...

http://sysctl.org/cameleon has around 21K entries, mostly trackers and ads. Mecuremecca is long-lived and well known. Veryhost is gone 404 and dealt with Censorship.

For the rest, hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers and Mahakala list are pretty hardcore and that's a plus to me.

https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/ is short and deals with a very sensitive risk.

http://spam404bl.com/ is very volatile.

[mmcnl]

Does anyone know a way to include automatic updates from a source that just lists domains, one-per-line (ie they are not prefixed by 0.0.0.0)? For example, http://malwaredomains.lehigh.edu/files/justdomains

[StevenBlack]

@mmcnl I hope to have this feature implemented soon.

[Jezza-x3]

@mmcnl You should be able to just copy/paste it into notepad or the likes and replace "0.0.0.0" with "" (nothing).
