View Full Version : Hosts file entries
Hello all. I'm curious as to if there is a URL that leads to a plaintext file that is a copy of all the black listed domains, that is updated frequently. The reason why I would like to find this URL that has the same entries as SpybotS&D, is because I want to write a python program for *nix hosts that will protect end users from these malicious domain names by periodically checking this URL and making changes accordingly to the /etc/hosts file.
Thank you for any info. :euro:

Hm, I do not think there is a site that would have (doubtful because I'm referring to Spybot's Immunization function;contains sites in HOSTS file) all the sites listed in Spybot's HOSTS File. Not even in plain text. I came to this conclusion because I do not think SaferNetworking would just place a copy of their created HOSTS file online.
There is however one place I know that creates good a HOSTS file because it is usually updated every several weeks.
MVPS Hosts has their files in plain text:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
Here is their main site:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

However, there much be some entries that might overlap if you use both Spybot and MVPS HOSTS file because (coincidence) that the two files have some same sites listed.
Ah thank you! Sorry for the late reply.
