Moderators mta Posted December 1, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2017 going back through these posts, there seems to be either a monthly update or every couple of months. I wonder what they use as a trigger event to decide it's time for a new release.

Hav0c Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hi Guys and Girls. With all this in Browser mining this dude is fighting an uphill battle. Atleast he is trying. Host file There is also an Adblock subscription for this one. Another subscription from Adblock in host file format MalwareDomainList Every line of code written by man can be undone by man .

Moderators Andavari Posted December 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2017 MVPS isn't quite enough! MalwareDomainList is listed in uBlock Origin as a 3rd party filter ("subscription"). I also use their HOSTS file (which isn't updated too often, but worth having):http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/hosts.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving it a whirl in uBlock Origin and the Windows HOSTS file format since some of the URL's in it (only 27 of them) are blocked by filters I already had in uBlock Origin - I don't know how many were already blocked in my HOSTS file though.

Moderators hazelnut Posted February 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2018 Already have it ticked in uBlock Origin, also as I use Opera that now has a built-in cryptocurrency-mining blocker.

Moderators Andavari Posted February 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't think you can draw the line or come to an end point, simply because things keep changing and adblocking software isn't what it used to be just 5-10 years ago because of the new subscriptions that can block malicious activity instead of just annoyances like an animated ad banner.

"almost" like an one host stop file now Somewhat late reply, but nice find. I have been looking for such a thing myself. I don't see hphost being used, however I see they use adaway host, which includes the hphost ad/tracking list only. For me, that is fine and preferably because hphost entire file is very large and it's malware list always seems to generate false positives for me.

If you want a system wide tool, I seen that hostman received some big updates last year and is now a much better tool. I am a maintainer for Winapp2.

You will not get around with the host file getting MASSIVE at one point in time. That why I installed a Pi running Pi-Hole with the following subscription for Network wide protection and not just device specific https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts https://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/justdomains http://sysctl.org/cameleon/hosts https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/blocklist.php?download=domainblocklist https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/list.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/list_optional.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/list_browser.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/hosts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/hosts_optional https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/hosts_browser https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/MiningServerIPList.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/list_browser_UBO.txt https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list/blob/master/hosts.txt It updates by itself and it's install and forget At time of writhing, Pi-Hole (with the above subscriptions) is blocking 126 139 Domains vs 93 933 network filters ＋ 43 961 cosmetic from uBlock Origin. I also run uBlock Origin in conjunction with the Pi for when if I go off my Network wih my laptop. The only sad thing that I noted is that uBlock Origin can only accommodate 7 subscriptions under the Custom section where by the Pi-hole seems to be a lot more.

I'm currently at 6 custom subscriptions, so close to maxing it out. It also doesn't help much where it will list some subscriptions as pre-built in ones, and then for whatever the hell reason immediately after they're first updated moves them (and even automatically renames some) and places them into the custom section, in Firefox on my system those were: * Anti-Adblock Killer | Reek * Malware domains (long-lived) * Nano Defender Integration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
