Investigate nanoapp.io requests and privacy policy #22

Closed lightswitch05 closed 5 years ago

lightswitch05 commented 5 years ago

I've seen ambient-weather-amb.nanoapp.io. Looks like that is a domain operated by Nanobox. So far its unclear the purpose for the domain, but does have a dashboard that looks similar to New Relic - which is commonly blocked. I've asked on their slack channel for more details and I'm still waiting for a response

@lightswitch05 can you research *.atwola.com domains.This is the AOL's advertisement/telemetry domains. Spotted one on yahoo today us.y.atwola.com and it's not on any lists and i'm pretty sure there are many more that still needs to be added.Thank you.

lightswitch05 commented 5 years ago

@dnmTX sure - I've also seen us.y.atwola.com on my pihole, but not sure where it came from. I do have pixel.ingest.at.atwola.com in my list already. Any idea which specific pages you saw us.y.atwola.com on so I can make sure nothing breaks?

lightswitch05 commented 5 years ago

@dnmTX nevermind, I see that 'atwola.com' is already in Steven Black's list - but it doesn't have all the subdomains in it. Since the root domain is already in the list, I'm happy to add the rest without needing to research it.

dnmTX commented 5 years ago

That's where i found it: capture It's all ads/telemetry....Nasty stuff.....No worries about breaking anything 👍

lightswitch05 commented 5 years ago

I got a response, seems not to be ads or tracking related

dnmTX commented 5 years ago

@lightswitch05 can you add: beap.adss.yahoo.com beap1.cb.g01.yahoodns.net ir2.beap.gemini.yahoo.com ir2-beap.cb.g01.yahoodns.net it's the same as beap.gemini.yahoo.com which is already added,not sure whoever did it didn't add the rest.

From yahoo's source code: capture

NSLOOKUP: capture1

P.S. metrika.yandex.ru is blocked in my AdBlocker's spyware filter.Looks like it's a good idea to do some more research.

I added ‘beap.gemini.yahoo.com’ the other day. I didn’t see those others, but I’m happy to add them. Feel free to open new tickets in the future, it makes it easier for me to keep track of things
