hosts analysis

I've analysed the data a bit and yeah, here are my results.

The list contains hosts 832887.

234143 of them are different domains (something.tld; something.co.uk).

The 2500 most often listed domains (of course including their subdomains) are 522340 out of 832887 hosts.

Here this data in 500 steps:

1. 500	342546

2. 500	88893

3. 500	47702

4. 500	26532

5. 500	16667

So what I think is, we need an app filtering by domain. That could be even more effective and fast than hosts solution because it could filter by domain and wouldn't have to have every subdomain listed.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aospid:
1. Extract the hosts file (in the M.O.A.B zip) to the /sdcard.

2. Install AdAway.

3. Start AdAway.

4. Select 'Hosts Sources' in the settings menu. Uncheck all of the sources.

5. Select 'Preferences' in the settings menu.

6. Select 'Target hosts file'.

7. Input path to the hosts file i.e /sdcard/hosts

8. Apply Blocking.

Hello BSDgeek_Jake and All,

Congrats and Thank You for providing such a useful app!

Would you advise toward or against using this host file on a desktop computer, or should it only be used with our mobile devices?

After installing in on my desktop I decided to remove it, made my system crawl.

I'll stick with the desktop's browser ad-blocker for now.

Seems to be working good on the mobil device!

THANKS!

This work is derived from my Linux notebook and Linux desktop. I have been using it since 1999 and till date it is successfully blocking massively and majority of Harmful Internet Stuffs. My work is also included in few of the OEM firmwares as extra to HIPS (Host based Intrusion Prevention System) and shipping successfully from 2008.

Dear BSDgeek_Jake,

It would be great if you could spare some time & explain- how do you find the links to the ads once a user submits you an app. After all, xda is about discovery & knowledge sharing.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
:) Thats y I m here to help U.

Decompile the apk and go to smali structure of the application. Under com and android you will find the AD services and various application related folder names, use common-sense which might be the AD folder ;) and search the smali code for AD source. It can be IP, hostname, symlinks.

Enjoy disassembly ;)

optimized hosts 07.05

Hi,

Did not see any experiments earlier with this, so I tok the liberty to optimize the latest hosts file, shaved 2.36mb,

I have not tested this method on linux before, so for the adventurous replace the zipped file with the cwm one,

if it does not work reflash the original version.

Also the hosts file is crawling slowly towards 10mb, there should be a dedicated server handling the request, or the device will get :silly: slow..

Ok, sorry.. attachment removed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Whats the purpose of your hosts file? This will not work as it has no line ending and indentation is not preserved according to unix/linux. most of the machines/gadgets will simply ignore or crash.

Request you to remove the attachment from the post before any users are affected. Thanks.

INFO: size of my hosts file will always stays under 10MB (cleanup is always happening) and i assume that atleast 800Mhz or more of CPU power is available. Android phones are capable of handling this size and type... rest is depedant on How the user has configured his/her ROM, APP and UI.

Thanks Buddy. ;)

shure, not all ads will blocked, you test on the special ads site?

sorry about my poor english.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ΦDroid:
Sounds like you have "Reduce data usage" on. In Chrome, Go to Settings -> Reduce data usage and turn it off.

When this is enabled, all of your incoming internet traffic (including ads) is routed through Google's servers, where it is compressed and redirected to you. Because of this, all of your traffic comes from Google's servers, not the ad servers. The hosts file is not capable of picking through the zip file for content from the ad servers, thus it is not blocked.

If you already have this disabled, the problem could be that the hosts file is not up to date. The OP cannot possibly keep up with all of the ad server addresses so some are bound to be missed. The hosts file would need to be updated every day to keep up.

BTW, I am almost certain that AB+ cannot interfere in any way with the function of a hosts file.

Edit: I also ran into your problem today and it was not caused by either possible cause mentioned above. Im guessing what happened is that I updated my ROM, which removed this hosts file, and forgot to reflash it. After doing some browsing I noticed the ads and remembered that I forgot the hosts file. I rebooted and flashed it, but some ads were already cached. To remove them from the cache, I simply opened Chrome, navigated to Settings -> Privacy -> CLEAR BROWSING DATA -> Then CHECKED only "Clear the cache" and "Clear cookies, site data." After wiping those I suggest restarting Chrome.

The Cookies and site data wipe may not be necessary but it did no harm. Now ads are gone again.

There is probably a similar procedure for the native browser.
