# Unified hosts file with fakenews, gambling, porn, social extensions
|
||||
|
||||
This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
|
||||
into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts files are provided.
|
||||
|
||||
* Last updated: **March 23 2018**.
|
||||
* Here's the [raw hosts file with fakenews, gambling, porn, social extensions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-gambling-porn-social/hosts) containing 68,995 entries.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### List of all hosts file variants
|
||||
|
||||
The **Non GitHub mirror** is the link to use for some hosts file managers like
|
||||
[Hostsman for Windows](http://www.abelhadigital.com/hostsman) that don't work
|
||||
with Github download links.

|

|
||||
## Extensions
|
||||
The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder tree. See the `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 2.7:
|
||||
|
||||
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Command line options:
|
||||
|
||||
`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
|
||||
|
||||
`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
|
||||
|
||||
* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
|
||||
* No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
|
||||
to include any you want.
|
||||
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
|
||||
flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
|
||||
over them.
|
||||
|
||||
`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
|
||||
of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional
|
||||
category-specific hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example:
|
||||
`--extensions porn` or `-e social porn`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache.
|
||||
Only active when `--replace` is also active.
|
||||
|
||||
`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
|
||||
target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments
|
||||
that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `false` since some
|
||||
router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file
|
||||
in a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
|
||||
|
||||
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
|
||||
section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is
|
||||
useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
|
||||
|
||||
`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, *Compress* the hosts file
|
||||
ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
|
||||
domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
|
||||
the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/`
|
||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents
|
||||
of this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I prevent domains from being included?
|
||||
|
||||
The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
|
||||
`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged
|
||||
into the final hosts file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
|
||||
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
|
||||
leaves your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
|
||||
and other irritants.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
|
||||
lines to your hosts file will do it:
|
||||
|
||||
# block doubleClick's servers
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Location of your hosts file
|
||||
To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
|
||||
editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating hosts file on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux and Mac OS X, you can simply run the Python script, but on Windows, more
|
||||
work is required due to compatibility issues in implementing some of the functionality
|
||||
for Windows. It is preferable to run the batch file as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
updateHostsWindows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file MUST be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in
|
||||
the repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
|
||||
replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
|
||||
saying that in order for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows XP**: Start -> Run -> `cmd`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 8**: Start -> Swipe Up -> All Apps -> Windows System -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 10**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further recommended solutions from third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reloading hosts file
|
||||
Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
|
||||
manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.
|
||||
|
||||
| The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on `chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts file. See: https://superuser.com/questions/723703
|
||||
:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
|
||||
:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
|
||||
sc stop "Dnscache"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart`
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Others**: Consult [this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Release management
|
||||
|
||||
This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release
|
||||
tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
|
||||
This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and
|
||||
[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals of this unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The goals of this repo are to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
|
||||
|
||||
2. provide easy extensions,
|
||||
|
||||
3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
|
||||
|
||||
4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
|
||||
|
||||
A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A
|
||||
hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
|
||||
additions and removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
|
||||
curation is expected.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
|
||||
is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
|
||||
and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
|
||||
devices under a variety of operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

## Extensions
|
||||
The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder tree. See the `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 2.7:
|
||||
|
||||
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Command line options:
|
||||
|
||||
`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
|
||||
|
||||
`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
|
||||
|
||||
* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
|
||||
* No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
|
||||
to include any you want.
|
||||
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
|
||||
flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
|
||||
over them.
|
||||
|
||||
`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
|
||||
of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional
|
||||
category-specific hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example:
|
||||
`--extensions porn` or `-e social porn`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache.
|
||||
Only active when `--replace` is also active.
|
||||
|
||||
`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
|
||||
target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments
|
||||
that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `false` since some
|
||||
router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file
|
||||
in a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
|
||||
|
||||
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
|
||||
section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is
|
||||
useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
|
||||
|
||||
`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, *Compress* the hosts file
|
||||
ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
|
||||
domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
|
||||
the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/`
|
||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents
|
||||
of this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I prevent domains from being included?
|
||||
|
||||
The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
|
||||
`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged
|
||||
into the final hosts file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
|
||||
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
|
||||
leaves your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
|
||||
and other irritants.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
|
||||
lines to your hosts file will do it:
|
||||
|
||||
# block doubleClick's servers
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Location of your hosts file
|
||||
To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
|
||||
editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating hosts file on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux and Mac OS X, you can simply run the Python script, but on Windows, more
|
||||
work is required due to compatibility issues in implementing some of the functionality
|
||||
for Windows. It is preferable to run the batch file as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
updateHostsWindows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file MUST be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in
|
||||
the repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
|
||||
replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
|
||||
saying that in order for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows XP**: Start -> Run -> `cmd`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 8**: Start -> Swipe Up -> All Apps -> Windows System -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 10**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further recommended solutions from third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reloading hosts file
|
||||
Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
|
||||
manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.
|
||||
|
||||
| The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on `chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts file. See: https://superuser.com/questions/723703
|
||||
:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
|
||||
:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
|
||||
sc stop "Dnscache"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart`
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Others**: Consult [this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Release management
|
||||
|
||||
This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release
|
||||
tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
|
||||
This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and
|
||||
[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals of this unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The goals of this repo are to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
|
||||
|
||||
2. provide easy extensions,
|
||||
|
||||
3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
|
||||
|
||||
4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
|
||||
|
||||
A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A
|
||||
hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
|
||||
additions and removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
|
||||
curation is expected.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
|
||||
is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
|
||||
and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
|
||||
devices under a variety of operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

# Unified hosts file with fakenews, gambling, social extensions
|
||||
|
||||
This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
|
||||
into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts files are provided.
|
||||
|
||||
* Last updated: **March 23 2018**.
|
||||
* Here's the [raw hosts file with fakenews, gambling, social extensions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-gambling-social/hosts) containing 59,457 entries.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Extensions
|
||||
The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder tree. See the `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 2.7:
|
||||
|
||||
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Command line options:
|
||||
|
||||
`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
|
||||
|
||||
`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
|
||||
|
||||
* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
|
||||
* No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
|
||||
to include any you want.
|
||||
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
|
||||
flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
|
||||
over them.
|
||||
|
||||
`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
|
||||
of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional
|
||||
category-specific hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example:
|
||||
`--extensions porn` or `-e social porn`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache.
|
||||
Only active when `--replace` is also active.
|
||||
|
||||
`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
|
||||
target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments
|
||||
that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `false` since some
|
||||
router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file
|
||||
in a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
|
||||
|
||||
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
|
||||
section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is
|
||||
useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
|
||||
|
||||
`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, *Compress* the hosts file
|
||||
ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
|
||||
domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
|
||||
the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/`
|
||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents
|
||||
of this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I prevent domains from being included?
|
||||
|
||||
The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
|
||||
`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged
|
||||
into the final hosts file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
|
||||
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
|
||||
leaves your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
|
||||
and other irritants.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
|
||||
lines to your hosts file will do it:
|
||||
|
||||
# block doubleClick's servers
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Location of your hosts file
|
||||
To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
|
||||
editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating hosts file on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux and Mac OS X, you can simply run the Python script, but on Windows, more
|
||||
work is required due to compatibility issues in implementing some of the functionality
|
||||
for Windows. It is preferable to run the batch file as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
updateHostsWindows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file MUST be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in
|
||||
the repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
|
||||
replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
|
||||
saying that in order for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows XP**: Start -> Run -> `cmd`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 8**: Start -> Swipe Up -> All Apps -> Windows System -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 10**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further recommended solutions from third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reloading hosts file
|
||||
Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
|
||||
manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.
|
||||
|
||||
| The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on `chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts file. See: https://superuser.com/questions/723703
|
||||
:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
|
||||
:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
|
||||
sc stop "Dnscache"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart`
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Others**: Consult [this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Release management
|
||||
|
||||
This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release
|
||||
tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
|
||||
This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and
|
||||
[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals of this unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The goals of this repo are to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
|
||||
|
||||
2. provide easy extensions,
|
||||
|
||||
3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
|
||||
|
||||
4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
|
||||
|
||||
A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A
|
||||
hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
|
||||
additions and removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
|
||||
curation is expected.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
|
||||
is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
|
||||
and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile

## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

# Unified hosts file with fakenews, gambling extensions
|
||||
|
||||
This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
|
||||
into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts files are provided.
|
||||
|
||||
* Last updated: **March 23 2018**.
|
||||
* Here's the [raw hosts file with fakenews, gambling extensions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-gambling/hosts) containing 58,310 entries.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Extensions
|
||||
The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder tree. See the `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 2.7:
|
||||
|
||||
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Command line options:
|
||||
|
||||
`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
|
||||
|
||||
`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
|
||||
|
||||
* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
|
||||
* No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
|
||||
to include any you want.
|
||||
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
|
||||
flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
|
||||
over them.
|
||||
|
||||
`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
|
||||
of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional
|
||||
category-specific hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example:
|
||||
`--extensions porn` or `-e social porn`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache.
|
||||
Only active when `--replace` is also active.
|
||||
|
||||
`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
|
||||
target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments
|
||||
that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `false` since some
|
||||
router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file
|
||||
in a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
|
||||
|
||||
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
|
||||
section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is
|
||||
useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
|
||||
|
||||
`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, *Compress* the hosts file
|
||||
ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
|
||||
domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
|
||||
the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/`
|
||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents
|
||||
of this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I prevent domains from being included?
|
||||
|
||||
The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
|
||||
`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged
|
||||
into the final hosts file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
|
||||
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
|
||||
leaves your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
|
||||
and other irritants.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
|
||||
lines to your hosts file will do it:
|
||||
|
||||
# block doubleClick's servers
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Location of your hosts file
|
||||
To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
|
||||
editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating hosts file on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux and Mac OS X, you can simply run the Python script, but on Windows, more
|
||||
work is required due to compatibility issues in implementing some of the functionality
|
||||
for Windows. It is preferable to run the batch file as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
updateHostsWindows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file MUST be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in
|
||||
the repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
|
||||
replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
|
||||
saying that in order for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows XP**: Start -> Run -> `cmd`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 8**: Start -> Swipe Up -> All Apps -> Windows System -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 10**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further recommended solutions from third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reloading hosts file
|
||||
Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
|
||||
manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.
|
||||
|
||||
| The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on `chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts file. See: https://superuser.com/questions/723703
|
||||
:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
|
||||
:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
|
||||
sc stop "Dnscache"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart`
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Others**: Consult [this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Release management
|
||||
|
||||
This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release
|
||||
tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
|
||||
This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and
|
||||
[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals of this unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The goals of this repo are to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
|
||||
|
||||
2. provide easy extensions,
|
||||
|
||||
3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
|
||||
|
||||
4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
|
||||
|
||||
A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A
|
||||
hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
|
||||
additions and removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
|
||||
curation is expected.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
|
||||
is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
|
||||
and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
|
||||
devices under a variety of operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

# Unified hosts file with fakenews, porn, social extensions
|
||||
|
||||
This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
|
||||
into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts files are provided.
|
||||
|
||||
* Last updated: **March 23 2018**.
|
||||
* Here's the [raw hosts file with fakenews, porn, social extensions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-porn-social/hosts) containing 67,483 entries.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Extensions
|
||||
The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder tree. See the `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 2.7:
|
||||
|
||||
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Command line options:
|
||||
|
||||
`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
|
||||
|
||||
`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
|
||||
|
||||
* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
|
||||
* No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
|
||||
to include any you want.
|
||||
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
|
||||
flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
|
||||
over them.
|
||||
|
||||
`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
|
||||
of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional
|
||||
category-specific hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example:
|
||||
`--extensions porn` or `-e social porn`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache.
|
||||
Only active when `--replace` is also active.
|
||||
|
||||
`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
|
||||
target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments
|
||||
that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `false` since some
|
||||
router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file
|
||||
in a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
|
||||
|
||||
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
|
||||
section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is
|
||||
useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
|
||||
|
||||
`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, *Compress* the hosts file
|
||||
ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
|
||||
domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
|
||||
the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/`
|
||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents
|
||||
of this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I prevent domains from being included?
|
||||
|
||||
The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
|
||||
`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged
|
||||
into the final hosts file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
|
||||
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
|
||||
leaves your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
|
||||
and other irritants.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
|
||||
lines to your hosts file will do it:
|
||||
|
||||
# block doubleClick's servers
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Location of your hosts file
|
||||
To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
|
||||
editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating hosts file on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux and Mac OS X, you can simply run the Python script, but on Windows, more
|
||||
work is required due to compatibility issues in implementing some of the functionality
|
||||
for Windows. It is preferable to run the batch file as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
updateHostsWindows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file MUST be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in
|
||||
the repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
|
||||
replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
|
||||
saying that in order for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows XP**: Start -> Run -> `cmd`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 8**: Start -> Swipe Up -> All Apps -> Windows System -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 10**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further recommended solutions from third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reloading hosts file
|
||||
Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
|
||||
manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.
|
||||
|
||||
| The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on `chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts file. See: https://superuser.com/questions/723703
|
||||
:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
|
||||
:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
|
||||
sc stop "Dnscache"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart`
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Others**: Consult [this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Release management
|
||||
|
||||
This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release
|
||||
tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
|
||||
This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and
|
||||
[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals of this unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The goals of this repo are to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
|
||||
|
||||
2. provide easy extensions,
|
||||
|
||||
3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
|
||||
|
||||
4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
|
||||
|
||||
A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A
|
||||
hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
|
||||
additions and removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
|
||||
curation is expected.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
|
||||
is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
|
||||
and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
|
||||
devices under a variety of operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

|
||||
## Extensions
|
||||
The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder tree. See the `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 2.7:
|
||||
|
||||
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Command line options:
|
||||
|
||||
`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
|
||||
|
||||
`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
|
||||
|
||||
* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
|
||||
* No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
|
||||
to include any you want.
|
||||
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
|
||||
flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
|
||||
over them.
|
||||
|
||||
`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
|
||||
of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional
|
||||
category-specific hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example:
|
||||
`--extensions porn` or `-e social porn`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache.
|
||||
Only active when `--replace` is also active.
|
||||
|
||||
`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
|
||||
target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments
|
||||
that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `false` since some
|
||||
router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file
|
||||
in a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
|
||||
|
||||
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
|
||||
section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is
|
||||
useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
|
||||
|
||||
`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, *Compress* the hosts file
|
||||
ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
|
||||
domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
|
||||
the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/`
|
||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents
|
||||
of this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I prevent domains from being included?
|
||||
|
||||
The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
|
||||
`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged
|
||||
into the final hosts file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
|
||||
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
|
||||
leaves your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
|
||||
and other irritants.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
|
||||
lines to your hosts file will do it:
|
||||
|
||||
# block doubleClick's servers
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Location of your hosts file
|
||||
To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
|
||||
editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating hosts file on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux and Mac OS X, you can simply run the Python script, but on Windows, more
|
||||
work is required due to compatibility issues in implementing some of the functionality
|
||||
for Windows. It is preferable to run the batch file as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
updateHostsWindows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file MUST be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in
|
||||
the repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
|
||||
replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
|
||||
saying that in order for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows XP**: Start -> Run -> `cmd`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 8**: Start -> Swipe Up -> All Apps -> Windows System -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 10**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further recommended solutions from third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reloading hosts file
|
||||
Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
|
||||
manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.
|
||||
|
||||
| The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on `chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts file. See: https://superuser.com/questions/723703
|
||||
:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
|
||||
:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
|
||||
sc stop "Dnscache"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart`
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Others**: Consult [this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Release management
|
||||
|
||||
This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release
|
||||
tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
|
||||
This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and
|
||||
[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals of this unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The goals of this repo are to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
|
||||
|
||||
2. provide easy extensions,
|
||||
|
||||
3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
|
||||
|
||||
4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
|
||||
|
||||
A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A
|
||||
hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
|
||||
additions and removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
|
||||
curation is expected.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
|
||||
is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
|
||||
and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
|
||||
devices under a variety of operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Extensions
|
||||
The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder tree. See the `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 2.7:
|
||||
|
||||
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Command line options:
|
||||
|
||||
`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
|
||||
|
||||
`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
|
||||
|
||||
* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
|
||||
* No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
|
||||
to include any you want.
|
||||
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
|
||||
flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
|
||||
over them.
|
||||
|
||||
`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
|
||||
of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional
|
||||
category-specific hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example:
|
||||
`--extensions porn` or `-e social porn`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache.
|
||||
Only active when `--replace` is also active.
|
||||
|
||||
`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
|
||||
target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments
|
||||
that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `false` since some
|
||||
router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file
|
||||
in a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
|
||||
|
||||
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
|
||||
section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is
|
||||
useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
|
||||
|
||||
`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, *Compress* the hosts file
|
||||
ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
|
||||
domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
|
||||
the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/`
|
||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents
|
||||
of this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I prevent domains from being included?
|
||||
|
||||
The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
|
||||
`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged
|
||||
into the final hosts file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
|
||||
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
|
||||
leaves your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
|
||||
and other irritants.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
|
||||
lines to your hosts file will do it:
|
||||
|
||||
# block doubleClick's servers
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Location of your hosts file
|
||||
To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
|
||||
editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating hosts file on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux and Mac OS X, you can simply run the Python script, but on Windows, more
|
||||
work is required due to compatibility issues in implementing some of the functionality
|
||||
for Windows. It is preferable to run the batch file as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
updateHostsWindows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file MUST be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in
|
||||
the repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
|
||||
replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
|
||||
saying that in order for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows XP**: Start -> Run -> `cmd`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 8**: Start -> Swipe Up -> All Apps -> Windows System -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 10**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further recommended solutions from third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reloading hosts file
|
||||
Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
|
||||
manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.
|
||||

### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
|
||||
:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
|
||||
sc stop "Dnscache"
|
||||
```

|
||||
## Release management
|
||||
|
||||
This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release
|
||||
tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
|
||||
This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and
|
||||
[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals of this unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The goals of this repo are to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
|
||||
|
||||
2. provide easy extensions,
|
||||
|
||||
3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
|
||||
|
||||
4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
|
||||
|
||||
A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A
|
||||
hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
|
||||
additions and removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
|
||||
curation is expected.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
|
||||
is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
|
||||
and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
|
||||
devices under a variety of operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

# Unified hosts file with fakenews extensions
|
||||
|
||||
This repository consolidates several reputable `hosts` files, and merges them
|
||||
into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed. A variety of tailored hosts files are provided.
|
||||
|
||||
* Last updated: **March 23 2018**.
|
||||
* Here's the [raw hosts file with fakenews extensions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews/hosts) containing 56,798 entries.

|

|
||||
|
||||
## Extensions
|
||||
The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder tree. See the `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using Python 2.7:
|
||||
|
||||
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--replace] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Command line options:
|
||||
|
||||
`--help`, or `-h`: display help.
|
||||
|
||||
`--auto`, or `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
|
||||
|
||||
* Hosts data sources, including extensions, are updated.
|
||||
* No extensions are included by default. Use the `--extensions` or `-e` flag
|
||||
to include any you want.
|
||||
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced unless you include the `--replace`
|
||||
flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`--backup`, or `-b`: Make a backup of existing hosts file(s) as you generate
|
||||
over them.
|
||||
|
||||
`--extensions <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`, or `-e <ext1> <ext2> <ext3>`: the names
|
||||
of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing additional
|
||||
category-specific hosts files to include in the amalgamation. Example:
|
||||
`--extensions porn` or `-e social porn`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--flush-dns-cache`, or `-f`: skip the prompt for flushing the DNS cache.
|
||||
Only active when `--replace` is also active.
|
||||
|
||||
`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, or `-i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the
|
||||
target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
|
||||
|
||||
`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments
|
||||
that appear on the same line as domains. The default is `false` since some
|
||||
router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
`--noupdate`, or `-n`: skip fetching updates from hosts data sources.
|
||||
|
||||
`--output <subfolder>`, or `-o <subfolder>`: place the generated source file
|
||||
in a subfolder. If the subfolder does not exist, it will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
`--replace`, or `-r`: trigger replacing your active hosts
|
||||
|
||||
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard
|
||||
section at the top, containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is
|
||||
useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
|
||||
|
||||
`--compress`, or `-c`: `false` (default) or `true`, *Compress* the hosts file
|
||||
ignoring non-necessary lines (empty lines and comments) and putting multiple
|
||||
domains in each line. Reducing the number of lines of the hosts file improves
|
||||
the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/`
|
||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||
If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents
|
||||
of this file are prepended to the unified hosts file during the update
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
The `myhosts` file is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I prevent domains from being included?
|
||||
|
||||
The domains you list in the `whitelist` file are excluded from the final hosts
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` uses partial matching. Therefore if you whitelist
|
||||
`google-analytics.com`, that domain and all its subdomains won't be merged
|
||||
into the final hosts file.
|
||||
|
||||
The `whitelist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't be
|
||||
overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`.
|
||||
Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never
|
||||
leaves your computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Having a smart `hosts` file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware,
|
||||
and other irritants.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to nullify requests to some doubleclick.net servers, adding these
|
||||
lines to your hosts file will do it:
|
||||
|
||||
# block doubleClick's servers
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Location of your hosts file
|
||||
To modify your current `hosts` file, look for it in the following places and modify it with a text
|
||||
editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux**: `/etc/hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: `%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating hosts file on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux and Mac OS X, you can simply run the Python script, but on Windows, more
|
||||
work is required due to compatibility issues in implementing some of the functionality
|
||||
for Windows. It is preferable to run the batch file as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
updateHostsWindows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file MUST be run in command prompt with administrator privileges in
|
||||
the repository directory. In addition to updating the hosts file, it can also
|
||||
replace the existing hosts file, and reload the DNS cache. It goes without
|
||||
saying that in order for this to work, you must be connected to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
To open a command prompt as administrator in the repository's directory, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows XP**: Start -> Run -> `cmd`
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Vista, 7**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 8**: Start -> Swipe Up -> All Apps -> Windows System -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 10**: Start Button -> type `cmd` -> right-click Command Prompt ->
|
||||
"Run as Administrator"
|
||||
|
||||
You can also refer to the "Third-Party Hosts Managers" section for further recommended solutions from third parties.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reloading hosts file
|
||||
Your operating system will cache DNS lookups. You can either reboot or run the following commands to
|
||||
manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.
|
||||
|
||||
| The Google Chrome browser may require manually cleaning up its DNS Cache on `chrome://net-internals/#dns` page to thereafter see the changes in your hosts file. See: https://superuser.com/questions/723703
|
||||
:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ipconfig /flushdns
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|If you want to use a huge hosts file by merging [hphosts](https://www.hosts-file.net) (NOT INCLUDED HERE) you need to DISABLE and STOP `Dnscache` service before you replace hosts file in Windows Systems. You have been warned.|
|
||||
:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before flushing the DNS cache, open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sc config "Dnscache" start= disabled
|
||||
sc stop "Dnscache"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run with root privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
**Debian/Ubuntu** `sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart`
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux with systemd**: `sudo systemctl restart network.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fedora Linux**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Network Manager**: `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Arch Linux/Manjaro with Wicd**: `sudo systemctl restart wicd.service`
|
||||
|
||||
**Others**: Consult [this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29#Location_in_the_file_system).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
Open a Terminal and run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Release management
|
||||
|
||||
This repository uses [Release-It!](https://webpro.github.io/release-it/), an excellent CLI release
|
||||
tool for Github repos and npm packages, to automate creating [releases](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/releases).
|
||||
This is why the [package.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/package.json) and
|
||||
[.release-it.json](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/.release-it.json) files are bundled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals of this unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The goals of this repo are to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. automatically combine high-quality lists of hosts,
|
||||
|
||||
2. provide easy extensions,
|
||||
|
||||
3. de-dupe the resultant combined list,
|
||||
|
||||
4. and keep the resultant file reasonably sized.
|
||||
|
||||
A high-quality source is defined here as one that is actively curated. A
|
||||
hosts source should be frequently updated by its maintainers with both
|
||||
additions and removals. The larger the hosts file, the higher the level of
|
||||
curation is expected.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the (huge) hosts file from [hosts-file.net](https://hosts-file.net)
|
||||
is **not** included here because it is very large (780,000+ entries)
|
||||
and doesn't currently display a corresponding high level of curation activity.
|
||||
|
||||
It is expected that this unified hosts file will serve both desktop and mobile
|
||||
devices under a variety of operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this

|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||

||||

|
||||

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.

|

|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

## Third-Party Hosts Managers
|
||||
|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||
|
||||
* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

allows multiple hosts on a single line.

## How do I control which sources are unified?

|
||||
`update.info` file.

|
||||
`update.info` controls where this extension finds its updates.

|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|
||||

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

||||

|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file

|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore if a domain name is
|
||||
resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.

# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore if a domain name is
|
||||
resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.

# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

manually flush your DNS cache once the new hosts file is in place.

## Third-Party Hosts Managers

|
||||
* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Applications
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads and malware via local BIND9 DNS server](https://github.com/mueller-ma/block-ads-via-dns "Block ads and malware via local DNS server") (for Debian, Raspbian & Ubuntu): Set up a local DNS server with a `/etc/bind/named.conf.blocked` file, sourced from here.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Blocking ads and malwares with unbound](https://deadc0de.re/articles/unbound-blocking-ads.html "Blocking ads and malwares with unbound") – [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/ "Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.") is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
|
||||

* [DNSMasq conversion script](https://gist.github.com/erlepereira/c11f4f7a3f60cd2071e79018e895fc8a#file-dnsmasq-antimalware) This github gist has a short shell script (bash, will work on any 'nix) and uses 'wget' & 'awk' present in most distros, to fetch a specified hosts file and convert it the format required by dnsmasq. Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the `extensions/` folder tree.
|
||||
See the `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension which are included in this repo, for example.

folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,

|

`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|

||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore if a domain name is
|
||||
resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.

# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts

|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.

||||
|

## How do I control which sources are unified?

Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder, and specify its update url in
|

`update.info` file.

||||
folder, and specify the `url` key in its `update.json` file.

|
||||
`update.info` controls where this extension finds its updates.

|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?

||||

||||
unified hosts file during the update process.

subdomains won't be merged into the final hosts file.

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|
||||
used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore if a domain name is
|
||||
resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.

## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

* [Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server](https://scripttiger.github.io/dualserver "Block ads, malware, and deploy parental controls via local DualServer DNS/DHCP server") (for BSD, Windows & Linux): Set up a blacklist for everyone on your network using the power of the unified hosts reformatted for DualServer. And if you're on Windows, this project also maintains an update script to make updating DualServer's blacklist even easier.

Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this

|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.

||||

||||

||||

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.

# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

|

folders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

`--keepdomaincomments`, or `-k`: `false` (default) or `true`, keep the comments

router-based implementations can't handle comments in-line with hosts.

the performances under Windows (with DNS Client service enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
`--minimise`, or `-m`: `false` (default) or `true`, like `--compress`, but puts
|
||||
each domain on a separate line. This is necessary because many implementations
|
||||
of URL blockers that rely on `hosts` files do not conform to the standard which
|
||||
allows multiple hosts on a single line.
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I control which sources are unified?
|
||||
|

Add one or more *additional* sources, each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder, and specify its update url in
|

`update.info` file.

|
||||
`update.info` controls where this extension finds its updates.

||||
Add one or more *optional* extensions, which originate from subfolders of the
|
||||
`extensions/` folder. Again the url in `update.json` controls where this
|
||||
extension finds its updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.
|
||||
|
||||
* NOTE: The `blacklist` is not tracked by git, so any changes you make won't
|
||||
be overridden when you `git pull` this repo from `origin` in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I include my own custom domain mappings?
|
||||
|

If you have custom hosts records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of this file are prepended to the

unified hosts file during the update process.

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

||||

||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|

|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore if a domain name is
|
||||
resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.

# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.

* Added ability to exclude domains. This commit closes #1. I always hated that Hulu would freak out when I generated a new hosts file. It checks to make sure that it can access its ad servers before it will start streaming. I'm assuming people have other sites similar to this, so the script now can be extended with common and custom domains to exclude.

* Added new source malwaredomainlist.com. This source does not add much in the way of ad-blocking, but it a trusted source of malware domains.

||||
* New merge without duplicates -- these were commented-out previously

## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

||||
|
||||
Create an *optional* `blacklist` file. The contents of this file (containing a
|
||||
listing of additional domains in `hosts` file format) are appended to the
|
||||
unified hosts file during the update process. A sample `blacklist` is
|
||||
included, and may be modified as you desire.

||||

||||

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

||||

## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file
|

|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore if a domain name is
|
||||
resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.

127.0.0.1 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
127.0.0.1 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
127.0.0.1 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
127.0.0.1 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
127.0.0.1 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ae.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.ar.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.at.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.au.doubleclick.net
|
||||
0.0.0.0 ad.be.doubleclick.net
|
||||
# etc...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

## Generate your own unified hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate a unified hosts file
|
||||
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt you Whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
|
||||
`hosts` file that's already there.
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
|
||||
|
||||
pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).
|
||||
|
||||
To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
|
||||
|
||||
python testUpdateHostsFile.py
|
||||
|
||||
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is Python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible,
|
||||
will generate a unified hosts file based on the sources in the local `data/`
|
||||
subfolder. The script will prompt you whether it should fetch updated
|
||||
versions (from locations defined by the `update.json` text file in each
|
||||
source's folder). Otherwise, it will use the `hosts` file that's already there.

## How can I contribute hosts records?
|
||||
|
||||
If you discover sketchy domains you feel should be included here, here are some ways to contribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: contact one of our hosts sources
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to get new domains included is to submit an issue to any of the data providers whose home pages are [listed here](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts#sources-of-hosts-data-unified-in-this-variant). This is best because once you submit new domains, they will be curated and updated by the dedicated folks who maintain these sources.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: add your domains to Steven Black's personal data file
|
||||
|
||||
Fork this hosts this repo and add your links to [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, submit a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: this is less desireable than Option 1 because the ongoing curation falls on us and what you've just done is created more work for us.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: create your own hosts list as a repo on Github
|
||||
|
||||
If you're able to curate your own collection of sketchy domains, then curate your own hosts list. Then signal the existance of your remo as [a new issue](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues) and we may include your new repo into the collection of sources we pull whenever we create new versions.

||||

||||
|
||||
## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating
|
||||
systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
|
||||
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
Traditionally most host files use `127.0.0.1`, the *loopback address*, to establish an IP connection to the local machine.
|
||||
|
||||
We prefer to use `0.0.0.0`, which is defined as a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown,
|
||||
or non applicable target.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `0.0.0.0` is empirically faster, possibly because there's no wait for a timeout resolution. It also does not
|
||||
interfere with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not use just `0` instead of `0.0.0.0`?
|
||||
We tried that. Using `0` doesn't work universally.

* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

Supports ipv4 and ipv6. Designed to be used as either a shell script, or can be dropped into /etc/cron.weekly (or wherever suits). Script is short and easily edited, also has a short document attached with notes on dnsmasq setup.
