Re: [SCRIPT] - Ad-Blocking - Hosts file method

the only way to be secure is to trust the provider then xD

Re: [SCRIPT] - Ad-Blocking - Hosts file method

No, after cutting out the comments behind #-characters you can freely grep away any lines containing anything else than 0.0.0.0. :)

Code:

cat hosts.txt | grep -v ^# | cut -d "#" -f 1 | grep 0.0.0.0 | grep -v localhost >> /etc/hosts.tmp && cat /etc/hosts.base /etc/hosts.tmp >> /etc/hosts && rm /etc/hosts.tmp && sed 's/^ *//; s/ *$//; /$/d' /etc/hosts

I tested with this hosts.txt:

Code:

0.0.0.0 im.not.malicious

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

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

111.111.111.114 colocalhosted #127.0.0.1 #colocalhosted

111.111.111.115 evil.com  #127.0.0.1

# [ZEDO]

0.0.0.0 zedo.com #[WebBug]

0.0.0.0 ads.zedo.com

0.0.0.0 c1.zedo.com

0.0.0.0 c2.zedo.com #[Tracking.Cookie]

0.0.0.0 c3.zedo.com

Which then resulted in as this hosts-file:

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

::1 localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

0.0.0.0 im.not.malicious

0.0.0.0 zedo.com 

0.0.0.0 ads.zedo.com

0.0.0.0 c1.zedo.com

0.0.0.0 c2.zedo.com 

0.0.0.0 c3.zedo.com

Nice trick, I didn't think about it, updating first post right now (but with a shorter version :D).

Re: [SCRIPT] - Ad-Blocking - Hosts file method
