Known Meta Sites
- nexus7556 3y agoAnyone know why there are so many domains related to TrueMove-H and LINE?
- phaerus_iconix 3y agoBecause TrueMove is the number two cellular provider in Thailand, LINE is the number one chat app in Thailand, and Thailand is one of the countries with the highest FB usage rates last time I saw such data...
- netsharc 3y agoThese are hostnames. There's surely not a web server hosting a (web-)site on each of these hosts.
- dheera 3y agoIt seems like the purpose of such a list is a block list, for people who don't want any data being sent to Meta, whether via http or otherwise. I suppose you'd use this by blocking these domains on your firewall, DNS, or in /etc/hosts (resolving them to 0.0.0.0 or some foo).
- MikusR 3y agoAnd just like most of the blocklists, this list is made by somebody who does not know what they are doing.
- ycuser2 3y agoThanks for the block list.
- dheera 3y ago> www.wechat.com.fb.me > www.wechat.fb.me > www.weixin.qq.basic.facebook.org > www.weixin.qq.facebook.org Can anyone enlighten me why these exist and what they do? I never thought WeChat and FB had collaborated on any level.
- loeg 3y agoIt seems like DNS for fb.me returns the same address records for any subdomain. So anything you can conceive of .fb.me is valid -- e.g., dheera.fb.me. Ditto facebook.com.
- gareve 3y agomy guess is: scam sites acquired by meta to stop the scam
- p4bl0 3y agoNope, those are subdomain of their own.
- adolph 3y agoAn internal entrepreneur is a type of entrepreneur who operates inside the confines of an organisation such as a business unit or a government body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_entrepreneur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_entrepreneur
- notamy 3y ago> 0000.goto.serverhub.net.nz > 0000fuck.you.get.signal.fb.me ...huh? Absolutely fascinating domains.
- astrea 3y ago> 0000fuck.you.get.signal.fb.me Are these coming from some user-generated content? Sounds like someone’s joke Messenger group name
- MikusR 3y agoMissing from list: https://astrea.hello.from.aliens.fb.me/ https://astrea.hello.from.aliens.fb.me/ server just responds to any subdomain you ask it.
- loeg 3y agoEvery single one of these fb.me domains and subdomains resolves to the same IPv4 and IPv6 address for me (like, there is a wildcard -- it accepts any subdomain). I think this list is poorly curated.
- astrea 3y agoPossibly it would be better to simply have the root domain fb.me on the list
- yallpendantools 3y agoJust to add to the list of "fb.me" head-scratchers: > ako.pinaka.gwapo.sa.ph.corner.static.fbcdn4.com.line.naver.jp.fb.me > ako.pinaka.gwapo.sa.ph.corner.static.tlcdn4.com.line.naver.jp.fb.me Everything before "corner" is Filipino and translated it means "I [am] the most handsome in Ph(ilippines)". Hard to explain how this comes across culturally. It's not particularly edgy, more cringe, the kind you'd find in someone's Friendster wall (MySpace never really for big there). Really curious about `fb.me` now. Haven't seen a good-enough explanation in this thread and I can't be bothered to sleuth them up myself. I'm tending towards this list being not particularly well-curated.
- pndy 3y ago> Really curious about `fb.me` now. I wonder why theres SKorean Naver in the string
- 3y ago
- loeg 3y agoWhy include a bunch of facebook.com or fb.me subdomains? Surely that is redundant? Not exactly sure how this list was made or confirmed or why.
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoHosts file
- rrrrrrrrrrrrr 3y agoMaybe as a recon list for security researchers
- charcircuit 3y agoThe list is weird since it's not comprehensive. Even obvious domains whose WHOIS points at Meta and uses the facebook nameservers aren't there. There must be some weird dataset these are extracted from.
- MikusR 3y agoThat list appears to be made by crazy mastodon users when they heard that Threads is going to be fediverse compatible.
- wodenokoto 3y agoWhy does the list contain so many sub domains? Wouldn't it follow from facebook.com being meta owned that weird.subdomain.facebook.com is also meta owned?
- joshuaturner 3y agoHere's a list without subdomains: https://gist.github.com/joshuat/142d5e28e07689ef51ea4b4ecd58b408 https://gist.github.com/joshuat/142d5e28e07689ef51ea4b4ecd58...
- riedel 3y agoAnd here you go why this is not working: omelettedufromage.net with www.omelettedufromage.net being a CNAME to Facebook for whatever reason.
- diarrhea 3y agoAnyone can set CNAMES, it doesn’t mean Meta owns the domain.
- riedel 3y agoExactly, that is what I meant. The OP seemingly uses IP whois to identify meta (it is from a mastodon blocker). The condensed list removes subdomains to make it worse.
- wut42 3y agoFunnily registered at "metaregistrar.com", which is unrelated to Meta.
- treffer 3y agoFull enumeration is useful for security research. For blocking purposes it can sometimes be helpful to enumerate it. And on your question: it is most often the case that a subdomain is owned by the same entity, but it is not a given. The most common thing is a CNAME to some site of a vendor. But you can go all the way to full subdomain delegation (this is the same as going from com. to facebook.com.).
- renegat0x0 3y agoI do not see https://transparency.fb.com/ https://transparency.fb.com/ in it
- oven9342 3y agoMaybe due to its transparent
- aragonite 3y agoDoes paulfisher.net actually belong to Facebook/Meta? Did it ever? It seems to (at least formerly) belong to Paul Fisher Estate Jewellers... [1] [1] https://www.google.com/books/edition/Forever_Lasting_New_York/F1GIBwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22office%40paulfisher.net%22&pg=PA97&printsec=frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Forever_Lasting_New_Yor...
- wut42 3y agoThe list is just a list of domains that CNAME to facebook.com (`www.paulfisher.net is an alias for facebook.com.`), this does not mean ownership by Meta.
- oktwtf 3y agoI got excited thinking rocksdb.org was geology related... it was not.
- hatenberg 3y agoMeta has an ASN - more useful than trying to deal with ever changing subdomain names
- satyanash 3y agoJust because these hostnames point to FB IP addresses does not mean they're owned and operated by FB. > 0-1.fb.me > 0-7.fb.me > ... This lists a bunch of subdomains, ideally only the second-level domain names that can be owned by FB should be listed. Because anything under that is obviously FB.
- weinzierl 3y agoAs long as companies operate their software on domains all over the place they are actively hurting security. How do you explain to normal people that fbsbx.com is a totally legit facebook site they have nothing to worry about, while fbsby.com and fbsbz.com might be dangerous. We put so much effort into keeping up domain trust and all this hard work is for nothing as long as this goes on.
- ehPReth 3y agoI have the exact same note with my government. They moved everything to one unified government.example site, all departments on it etc. Quite nice. Then, over the years, little ‘marketing’/‘awareness’/‘speciality’ sites like governmentdrivesafe.example or governmentvaccines.example, or even governmentgetabusehelp.example (it’s actually a similar initialsm, but it’s a place with resources for people to get help), etc started popping up. So many of these and all that work they did to have one ‘front’ or trusted place to visit is gone? Anyone can register a government<something>.example (they chose a public TLD)… just baffles me honestly. New content from department still appears on their “flagship” site, but also these one offs pop up as well. They also have, and use, a url shortening service on their main domain (e.g. government.example/{taxes,vehicles,covid} redirects to the longer link on government.example) but instead some departments opt to register domains instead. At least in FB’s case those might not be for their user’s use (the obscure fb<xyz>.example domains>)? Has anyone else seen something like this in their local area?
- frontalier 3y agoit's .ch right?
- Moru 3y agoThe worst part is when they buy a custom domain and then abandons it after a few years. And then someone buys the domain to host a scam instead.
- vasco 3y agoMost of these a user wouldn't ever see even as a URL temporarily in a redirect, most of these you'd only see if you're inspecting traffic. In fact you can see they purchased a bunch of typos of instagram for example, presumably to reduce user exposure to scams on similar domains.
- stephenr 3y ago> 0.freebasic.com.delz.freevpn.co.redirector.gvt1.com.web.fbcdn.facebook.org I'm getting strong Come Fly With Me vibes
- n_plus_1_acc 3y agoIt has many whatsapp-related domains, but not whatsapp.com. Also, I've never heard of workplace.
- cglong 3y agoI got to play around with Workplace a bit. It's 80% the same as Facebook and Messenger, but with a few changes to make it more appropriate for intra-office collaboration.
- fmajid 3y agoWorkplace is essentially Facebook for business. It’s used internally at Meta, but also some large enterprise customers like Wal-Mart. Much better collaboration software than Slack et al in my experience.
- ethagnawl 3y ago> Also, I've never heard of workplace. Count your blessings. It's like a version of FB that was forked in 2010 and is used by corps as an internal social network / project management system. The UX is atrocious, it's extremely difficult to find anything and the permissions are a mess. I worked on a project that used it and was regularly tagged in threads I couldn't access or messaged by people whose names I couldn't see.
- sokz 3y ago> www.jav-hq.com (very nsfw) Is this confirmed to be owned by Meta?
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 3y agoDirect link to file, no Javascript: https://gitlab.com/J4YC33/metablock/-/raw/main/Meta.txt https://gitlab.com/J4YC33/metablock/-/raw/main/Meta.txt
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 3y agohttps://gitlab.com/J4YC33/metablock/-/blob/main/Meta.txt https://gitlab.com/J4YC33/metablock/-/blob/main/Meta.txt requires Javascript, GraphQL and an additional HTTP POST request.
- dzeimis 3y agofuck.you.get.signal.fb.me sounds weirdly specific...
- wut42 3y agoEverything under "fb.me" resolves to facebook.com, like `hello.dzeimis.fb.me is an alias for www.facebook.com`. I wonder how the list was captured.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- MasterYoda 3y agoWhy do they use so many different domains?
