any idea on what it means as malware?
- whatshisface 7y agoOr "Adult Content?"
- woofcat 7y agoAdult content I think would be an easier category to filter on. However I would love it if they released the list of their blocked domains.
- aidenn0 7y agoAdult content is notoriously hard to filter on since nobody can agree what qualifies, and pretty much any site with user-generated content has content that is objectionable to someone. Do you filter Wikipedia as "adult content"? Certainly one of these[1] images qualifies under most standards? 1: NSFW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Bad_image_list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Bad_image_list
- Cyberdog 7y agoThere are lots more examples than Wikipedia, although that's a good one. Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube are other examples where you can find adult content if you're looking for it, but if you block the whole site, you block a whole bunch of useful and in some cases educational content along with it. Now all that being said, this is a decent enough way to at least block the obvious stuff like Pornhub. For some, that might be good enough.
- aurbano 7y agoWell this was one rabbit hole I would've preferred not to have visited...!
- petronio 7y agoThank you for that link, reading through the filenames was quite humorous. Agreed, what is considered "adult content" varies significantly between people, and whether children should be able to access what is considered medical/anatomical reference is a frequent argument.
- rsync 7y agoI have never seen the wikipedia "bad image list" before - and I am confused ... after clicking on a few of these images, randomly, every single one (under File Usage) reports: No pages on the English Wikipedia use this file (pages on other projects are not listed). ... so why do these images persist in the wikipedia ?
- Symbiote 7y agoThe fourth one on the list is used on the page "Phallus". But I can't answer your question.
- styluss 7y agoThere are lists of such domains, like in Adblock
- kube-system 7y agoThere are well circulated lists of dns names that are known to host various types of malware, and I am assuming this implements one or more of those lists. They have stuff like: botnet C&C domains, domains that have been hijacked to run exploits, domains that port scan the entire web just to run exploits at random, domains that mail out malware in spam, etc.
- nanny 7y agoNot sure, I wish it had more info on this. I tried some sites from big malware lists and 1.1.1.2 blocked none of them.
