To whitelist sites, add a line for each website to the HOSTS file by putting the IP address of the website (see below), then a space, then the website name. Don't put "http://" in the name, or anything after the .com/.net/whatever TLD the website has.

#allowed sites

<IP Address> graph.facebook.com

<IP Address> mqtt-mini.facebook.com

#blah blah, more sites here

yup, that's too much staleness

hosts file should be updated, at least, weekly or twice a month.

but hey...if you can get the job done in your freetime.. do it! otherwise: please stop complaining. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Laicure:
oh hey

I literally complain 'cause I hate using outdated sh*t

and also, I maintain updated hosts files myself even if I am busy with my work and personal life, duh (hosts files in my signature)

so I guess you can't read too :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wiltron:
Can you tell me which entries you removed, so I can remove them as well? Mine is already customized for other white/blacklists, and I don't want to re-apply all those changes to your hosts file in a PM/DM.

Thanks!

sorry I just saw this, hmmm, what to do... the version I have is old, like 2013 old. I've since tested with Windows so that the MS Store will work, n still cutting out MS b.s. A hosts file alone isn't the way to go anymore. I've been extensively testing Adguard out for the past couple months. I'm gonna zip you up a sweet adblock(etc.) package n I'd love to know what you think of it. it's really geared towards android with most apps fully working, The in browser web surfing is immaculately clean. I hope you'll enjoy it. and if you do, I'll send ya updates now n again. so keep an eye out in your box, the mailman's coming.

I don't wanna clutter this thread, will you PM me if I forget

Thank you Jake for these stomping grounds

Not exactly true. Fifefox on pc+adblock plus can block it without trace. Not sure about firefox mobiles, cant really try on my old aging phone.

and this hostfile already try to block them, but probably the google ads uses another server now. from this hostfile

There's also at least one chrome extension that successfully blocks google ads. I wonder, though, whether it blocks the IPs, or just uses element hiding.

--posted from my phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mdfzhi:
Good point. Adblock plus on pc does uses element hiding via script rule, not ip based blocking. Its blocking is some way too tho, the elements that were blocked not just hide away, it wont be load at all.

Sent from your phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vikraminside:
This mod is systemwide. All apps not only browser on phone.

NoScript does it on firefox pc and more privacy than just advts. I dont see any app blocking advt in pc systemwide. Using ad aware proxy can solve this issue or all block ip added to Firewall or hosts file like this. A genric script block can solve only common advts calling.

All ADs will be blocked as long as no Proxy is used or no Encryption is used to deliver content (so called methods like Turbo, SpeedBoost, FastLink, etc ). Hardcoded ADs in the App might not be blocked but again based on the type of content delivery methods.

ADBlocking is a MOD which applies to System-Wide environment without system intrusion (thats the beauty of this MOD)

Please Read Post #1 for more info.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nguyenson_44:
Why???

The previous version of the host file to be 8.5 Mb, But now It's only 5.5Mb. Anyone can tell me WHY ? :confused::confused::confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Hi nguyenson,

It has been Revised and Optimized based on Updated Catalog (my research).

For All Curious Users who want to know the making of ADBlocking MOD:

my ADBlocking MOD is based on:

1. Updated Catalog of AD Servers from Trusted Sources.

2. Updated Catalog of Malware/Spyware/Bloatware from Trusted Sources.

3. Top Malware/Spyware/Bloatware Domain Listing from Trusted Sources

4. Top Ap~s (those who put intrus~on in user UI) in M~rketplac~.

5. Most used Mob~le Adv~rtisi~g Pl~tf~rms based on Numbers/Usage Counts.

6. and Various other Factors... (my research).

File size may vary release to release but ADBlocking Effectiveness is Always close to Evolving Perfection ;)

There is LOTs of Research and manual Efforts in the making of ADBlocking MOD.

I prefer standalone mod. Used adaway not so interesting, was able to see few advts. Also having multiple programs edit hosts system file?!!! Duplicate entries management, file corruption etc could lead to issues.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] idcrisis:
Thanks a lot for creating the Malware domain blocks ( as per your changelogs). Sorry I looked but couldn't find the separate malware block list that you mention. Is it somewhere quite apparent and I missed it?

I asked this as I'm creating an app for the Google marketplace to run a custom DNS server and to comply with their regulations, I'll only include your malware list ( of course with credits to you).

Thanks for your excellent work compiling this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Hi idcrisis,

Thanks for using my MOD.

Everything mentioned in the CHANGELOG is in the current Release. Everything is sorted, aligned and formatted so that my 'hosts' file is clean.

You are granted permission to use my MOD as is with proper credits.

Regards :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] idcrisis:
Thanks for your reply Jake. I was asking if there was a separate list of malware domains only ( not adware domains ). This is because Google Play will ban my app if I use any list which contains Adware blocks. But blocking malware should be a valid thing to do as it doesn't interfere with their ads.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Hi Idcrisis,

my program collects the info from various sources and then compiles to hosts file format including corrections and syntax formatting. Sources include open source and some commercial Catalog of IPS/IDS and Firewalls.

Everything is automated n prepackaged.

You can instruct user to Add my hosts file in Ur App through some function. Updated hosts file (Direct Link) for such App is already available. SEE Post #1.

I hope my Help was meaningful.

Let me know if U hv more query.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rl421403:
Hi, I was using this host file and when I checked it I found multiple entries for some hostnames. like

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Thanks for the feedback buddy.

Its corrected and update is already released. :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] idcrisis:
Hi Jake,

Thanks again for being so prompt in your replies. Let me rephrase, your excellent list seems to be a combined list that blocks Adware domains and Malware domains.

I was wondering if I could get a smaller list which contains only malware domains, ie domains that cause harm to your system, like spyware serving or phishing sites etc, but not adware domains ( that serve ads which although bothersome, but aren't really harmful).

This is to comply with Google Play's terms of service as if I use that list I won't be blocking ads ( recently Google started banning apps for blocking ads).

Cheers and thanks once again for your excellent work.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BSDgeek_Jake:
Hi idcrisis,

Unfortunately i have no resources left to maintain the minimized version (separate hosts and malware) of hosts file. In-fact, update process will break as i am releasing it frequently (security first.) and release tracking for two separate tree will take more time to compile and release.

I hope you understand. Regards.

Flash CWM from my Post #1 (there is always an update which will work) and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Check if All is set:

1. Use Root Explorer and jump to '/system/etc'

2. Permission on 'hosts' should be '0.0/root.root' and '444/r-r-r'

3. Remove any other ADBlock apps you might have installed

my ADBlocking CWM works (Tested) on 'GB/ICS/JB' Family irrespective of the Versions.
