This repository is a curated DNS blocklist project providing domain lists for categories like ads, malware, phishing, tracking, and more. It is primarily a data resource, but includes a sophisticated Python-based build pipeline, automated issue triage, upstream monitoring, and CI/CD workflows. The codebase is config-driven, with reusable modules for domain normalization, validation, format conversion, and merging. The project outputs lists in multiple formats (hosts, AdGuard, dnsmasq, plain domains) and is designed for integration with Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, and similar tools. While the domain lists are the primary artifact, the supporting infrastructure demonstrates strong data engineering practices, including automated testing, structured logging, and exception handling. The repository has a large issue backlog but active maintenance with frequent commits and automated workflows.
This repository is a curated, versioned collection of domain names and URLs used by mobile location tracking libraries, analytics SDKs, adware, spyware, stalkerware, malware, and other telemetry-gathering software. The primary output is three text files in standardized ad-blocking formats (plain hostnames, AdBlock Plus syntax, uBlock Origin syntax) plus a separate Windows telemetry list. The data is sourced from reverse engineering Android APKs (referenced by file hash), public security research reports, passive DNS data, and investigative journalism. The repo serves both as a domain blocklist for privacy-focused users and as a reference for threat intelligence analysts. It is not a software application or an automated data pipeline; it is a manually curated dataset maintained through ongoing research and community contributions.
