I apologize if I'm wrong here, as I'm not very proficient with unix tools. I may miss some sed and regex magic...

But what I see is that you grep all the lines that mention localhost. That is fine. But ipv4 record can consist of more than that such as

Code:

112.112.112.112 im.malicious.com localhost.localdomain localhost

And currently you would insert that into the newly created host-file.

I think you need first to drop any lines that contain any other IP than 127.0.0.1 and ::1.

And also 127.0.0.1 must not be in the form #127.0.0.1 in the end of line like this (on one line although visible here on two):

Code:

112.112.112.112 im.malicious.com localhost.localdomain localhost #127.0.0.1

Code:

112.112.112.112 im.malicious.com #localhost.localdomain #localhost #127.0.0.1

EDIT: added second example line. I haven't checked yet what would happen, though.
