Real bad you're using somebody's work and allegating him to be sold out.

Really show some respect to a person's efforts.

He started his minimal hosts only after people raising issues of device slowdown.

Alas you can't keep 100% people happy 100% of time.

All this work takes efforts and all work is done free.

Rather than high jack the thread.... Why not start your own.

Really bad to put up alligations like this.

Hellow Mate,

Can you kindly PM me the latest host file you got?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PiggyFlooper:
Very nice of you to do that

Today I want to pass along an interesting tool that can go along with Moaab, it's called pixelserv. The one that I use is made by [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]

Instead of your (Chrome, stock) browser bringing up an error when loading a website that is blocked by hosts, it will serve up a blank page!

It's easy to start, just run a script -

archidroid_pixelserv 127.0.0.1

on LP and MM

archidroid_pixelserv 127.0.0.1 -n lo

Just copy the corresponding archidroid_pixelserv binary to /bin

Or you can place it in /xbin n run from there

This zip file includes pixelserv from Jelly Bean to Marshmallow:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patrickdrd:
facebook.com corrected, but I think fbcdn.net is needed too (I had to allow it in ublock settings on my laptop for facebook to work properly)

same for twitter, at least some of the following are needed:

abs.twimg.com

pbs.twimg.com

r.twimg.com

and scontent.cdninstagram.com is needed for instagram as well

so, more work to be done... ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Seguraf13:
Hello, thank you OP for the new update. Current problem however is that in the latest r3 release attempting to sign into FB messenger does not work. Also of note due to s.youtube and s2.youtube being blocked, watch history is not being synced but that can be edited out per user preference. As for the login issues, I am at a loss at what new addition to the pack could be blocking it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ketorock:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ketorock:
Hi

Thanks for this awesome work. Just one thing, if I place this hosts file everything is working fine but I can not access to Betfair site, neither use the app.

Do you think you can fix it?

Thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patrickdrd:
you can't use the web client either if moab blocks it ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sonwon:
I prefer blocking then over reading Facebook. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patrickdrd:
scontent.xx.fbcdn.net and www.linkedin.com need to be excluded in my opinion,

also, when is this gonna be uploaded to adblock.mahakala.is?

adaway says there's a hosts file from June there

For an adblocker without root i have best results with adguard. For root use both adguard and adfree.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Daniel5161:
Is the youtube issue fixed in the latest release?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shivadow:
As far as i know youtube ads can only be blocked by xposed. Adguard doesn't block them like it says it will but it works well otherwise.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Daniel5161:
Yeah i know, i use xposed to block ads. In the first release of moab it has a issue with YouTube. The watch- and search history was paused.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zep0th:
Having trouble moving it to system/etc since I'm running systemless root

AdAway seems to work fine with systemless root because of an update.

I strongly believe if an app was involved with this, I'd be much better since it can provide updates and whitelists like AdAway thus removing many problems.

Currently using AdAway and I really want to test this out but cannot :( help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] haris1976:
i can't find R3 in #post 1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Timmmmaaahh!:
Systemless root means the root method itself isn't touching any files in /system, it doesn't mean you can't or should have trouble with altering files in /system.

AdAway will function exactly the same on a system rooted systemless compared to a system rooted .. eh.. systemmore? systemful?

Just add "http://adblock.mahakala.is/" to your block lists in AdAway and apply it as mentioned in the OP.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Timmmmaaahh!:
I've sent you a PM with a flashable version, I'm not allowed to post it in the thread.

[MENTION=4877037]BSDgeek_Jake[/MENTION] With your permission I'd like to release and maintain MoaAB flashable in this thread. I do NOT make any changes to the host file you release, I'm only re-using your last flashable zip from R1, replace the old host file with the new one and update the date and version number in updater-script (see image below).

I'm asking this because I get regular requests via PM to share this file.

Thank you for your time and your invaluable efforts in creating the Mother of all Ad-Blockers.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PiggyFlooper:
Ahh, I see

pixelserv will serve up a blank page for all urls in hosts file, it was a feature in CrossBreeder, and ArchiDroid roms (archidroid_pixelserv, I offered it up in a non-flashable zip a few- 5 pages back, from ICS-MM) have it too. But it won't make the graphic go away. It won't work with browsers that use a proxy, such as Puffin browser

Is there any reason why this is not working in the puffin browser? This works perfectly on the stock browser but the puffin browser is showing all the ads
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vikraminside:
I see certain browsers use some kind of proxies. Lets take opera mini it uses some proxy for compression data. What I feel is if ip call is not direct from your mobile then hosts cannot block.

I tested on apps and successful and not on browsers yet. You use full browser like opera mobile or our xda member naked browser it will be of use. Your stock browser does not use proxy servet by default.

You can download the file from here and extract it and then manually copy replace the host file from system/etc folder and give permission as r-w-rr but for this you need root access.

I'm using ES file explorer and is rooted. ES file explorer do not allow me to replace the default host file with this one. How should I proceed?

In ES file explorer, I click properties but there is no option to change permission....

By the way, I do not have any recovery installed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vikraminside:
First go to /etc take backup of hosts to your download folder. Replace adblock hosts to /etc.

Long press file, in right menu click properties, change permissions.

-rw-r--r--

I see after cwm above

Edit:

If u r still unsure of hosts replace contents and save using text editor. You must.be properly rooted to root user to edit this. See busybox stuff all ok.

Had a few questions please.

I was trying to understand why the host file formatting looks so weird when viewed in notpad? I use MVPS host file for windows and was going to use the same file for android. I must be missing something, if I view in wordpad then it formats nicely, otherwise it doesn't.

If I have to deal with the odd formatting then what is proper way to add or remove entries? Is there a tool I am unaware of?

Last two questions if you will please, I am running an older GNexus, will a file this large cause slow down like it can on PCs with DNS services enabled? Lastly

A reminder to anyone that would like to whitelist a few domains:

Method 1: editing the host file

Extract the host file from OP to your computer

Edit the host file with Notepad++ (remove the lines you want to whitelist)

Save your edits and push the host file to your device and reboot

Method 2: installing an adblocker

Download and install AdAway

Add http://adblock.mahakala.is/ to your adblocking lists

Add your beloved domains to AdAway's whitelist

Apply adblocking and reboot

These are just 2 examples, there are plenty more ways to edit host files and plenty more adblocking tools.

another "nice" one found out today:

fpdownload.macromedia.com

I don't understand, what's malicious with those two sites?

or the point is to block the whole internet and let the user allow where he wants to connect to?

isn't that too much fuss about nothing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Timmmmaaahh!:
Hm.. You're going to use Facebook and Macromedia as prime examples of trustworthy resources? Especially Macromedia, a company that has been abandoned 12 years ago... As for the domain, just check the Scamadviser report and that says it all:

A Malware report has been detected for this website

Bad Reviews Detected - indicating a poor reputation

This website may be related to a number of high risk sites

Any app or website that still requires "fpdownload.macromedia.com" as a resource is a high level risk if you ask me.

I've applied the latest MoaAB host (R4) in its original state exactly one week ago and I have yet to encounter a service/website/app that stopped working for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patrickdrd:
ok but I'm using moab in ublock (desktop firefox) and today there was a flash update, so I had to go there
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Timmmmaaahh!:
That website forwards to this Adobe domain. Practically any page on Macromedia forwards to Adobe. The only place one should be getting Flash updates from is https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

I should try MoaAB on desktop as well, that'll probably wield different results compared to Android. Perhaps I could even inject it in my DD-WRT loaded router, blocking ads across all devices.. Lots to do :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] patrickdrd:
I'm using that site:

using it on desktop it a great idea IMO
