# hosts
|
|
|
|
Curated hosts file with various domain blocks!
|
|
|
|
See ["**Source**"](https://git.flossboxin.org.in/vdbhb59/hosts#sources) below for credits and source list. Lot of hosts are based on my own digging and compatible with almost all kind of adblockers.
|
|
|
|
Use ["**this batch file**"](https://host.flossboxin.org.in/scripts/hosts_install_win.bat) as the latest shell script for Windows.
|
|
|
|
This readme is available in my [parallel world](https://host.flossboxin.org.in).
|
|
|
|
I have also added a number based ["**block list**"](https://git.flossboxin.org.in/vdbhb59/hosts/src/branch/main/number_spamlist.txt), maintained purely manually via various sources. These are genuine list and are already marked as scam/spam/blocks in various databases. There is a ["**json**"](https://git.flossboxin.org.in/vdbhb59/hosts/src/branch/main/number_spamlist.json) format available to use with apps which allow import. Example app ["**MyBlocked**"](https://host.flossboxin.org.in/assets/MyBlocked.apk).

|
|
|
* Daily builds of the hosts file is now implemented and can be directly found [here](https://hosts.flossboxin.org.in).
|
|
* Thanks to [Ushma](https://github.com/ushmashah8805) for the squashing, coding and nightly implementation. :)

# Install hblock
|
|
Thanks to [Héctor Molinero Fernández](https://github.com/hectorm/hblock/) for his scriptures.
|
|
**shasum -c = SHA1**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -o /tmp/hblock 'https://git.flossboxin.org.in/vdbhb59/hosts/raw/branch/main/hblock' \
|
|
&& echo '10d8cb00d093171135c458cbf3535ebcfb14c371 /tmp/hblock' | shasum -c \
|

|
|
&& sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/hblock

# Install systemd service and timer units
|
|
|
|
The following commands will schedule a daily update of the hosts file. See [systemd-timers](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd/Timers) for more information.
|
|
**shasum -c = SHA256**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -o '/tmp/hblock.#1' 'https://git.flossboxin.org.in/vdbhb59/hosts/raw/branch/main/hblock.{service,timer}' \
|
|
&& echo 'd6865ab7b524c8ee8b771d62844811888851d76cc626cf728fac90b4ba266d47 /tmp/hblock.service' | shasum -c \

# Modify default options with environment variables
|
|
|
|
To change the default options instead of modifying the original service it is possible to override its properties.
|
|
|
|
For example, to have multiple domains on the same line and enable regular expressions in the allow-list, create the file
|
|
`/etc/systemd/system/hblock.service.d/override.conf` with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Environment=HBLOCK_WRAP=20
|
|
Environment=HBLOCK_REGEX=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then reload the systemd configuration and start the service:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
sudo systemctl start hblock.service
|
|
```

# Check Shasum the actual way
|
|
(Thanks [Alexis La Porte](https://gist.github.com/aklap/3c66f1991909f448e5ff) for this.)
|
|
**Organic:**
|
|
In terminal run:
|
|
|
|
For sha2:
|
|
`shasum -a 256 filename/path`
|
|
|
|
For sha1:<br>
|
|
`shasum -a 1 filename/path`
|
|
|
|
Use your eyeballs and compare by sight the expected hash and the computed hash in the terminal. Eye strain might ensue.
|
|
|
|
**Artisanal & organic:**
|
|
Run the above commands. Copy the resulting shasum with Ctrl + C.
|
|
In browser or file use Ctrl + F with your copied shasum; if you find a match, congrats your file is fine! If no match, your file might have been altered or tampered with.
|
|
|
|
**Inorganic, man-made:**
|
|
Use shasum check command. Runs diff and prints results in terminal.
|
|
|
|
In terminal run:<br>
|
|
`echo 'your_expected_shasum_here_followed_by_a_space *name_of_file_to_check_after_asterisk' | shasum -c`
|
|

## Check hash algorithms: "MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512" via command prompt in Windows:
|
|
|
|
For default (sha1):
|
|
`certUtil -hashfile hosts`
|
|
|
|
Place the algorithm you wish to check after the filename:
|
|
`certUtil -hashfile hosts MD2`
|
|
|
|
`certutil -hashfile hosts SHA256`
|
|

## Supported Operating Systems
|
|
|
|
***Android:*** For non-rooted devices, these host files can be used with [`Virtual Hosts`](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.xfalcon.vhosts/), [`Tracker Control`](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/), [`DNS66`](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.jak_linux.dns66/), [`Blokada`](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.blokada.alarm/), [`Personal DNS Filter`](https://www.zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter/) or [`Nebulo`](https://nebulo.app/source).
|
|
The above softwares are free and open-source ad-blockers.
|
|
|
|
For rooted devices, one can replace the default **hosts** file with the file of choice from here, after renaming the choice file to "**hosts**". Permissions should be **rw-r--r--** / **644**.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, if one does not wish to add it manually, one can use this host file with [`AdAway`](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.adaway/), a free and open-source ad-blocker for Android.
|
|
|
|
***Linux:*** An open-source host file manager called [`hBlock`](https://git.flossboxin.org.in/vdbhb59/hosts/raw/branch/main/hblock).
|
|
|
|
***Mac OS:*** These host files can be used with [`gasmask`](https://github.com/2ndalpha/gasmask).
|
|
|
|
***Windows:*** Users for Windows would find it easy to use with [`Hostman`](http://www.abelhadigital.com/hostsman/), a software to manage host file.
|
|
|
|
In case the above is not working, you can try one of the following as well:
|
|
|
|
[`SwitchHosts`](https://oldj.github.io/SwitchHosts) or [`HostsFileEditor`](https://github.com/scottlerch/HostsFileEditor)
|
|
|
|
Use installer [`hostsinstaller`](https://host.flossboxin.org.in/scripts/hosts_install_win.bat) with administrative rights in Windows.
|
|
|
|
Use [`Optimizer for Windows`](https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer/releases) (use Hosts option > Advanced editor function), the finest Windows Optimizer with/without administrative rights in Windows.
