- hobs 3y agoBlocking ports? Not familiar with any ports advertisers use specifically, most are happy with 80/433.

- spacecadet 3y ago"But apparently, making up ports is addictive, because today, RFC 1700 and the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) have defined no less than 1,023 official "well-known ports," and many other unofficial ones to boot. And those are just a subset of a grand total of 65,535 ports." https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/... Do you know how your firewall works? I run physical ones. The OS on your Mac is basically wide open. An "ip" "domain" "url" can all change, you own the ports...
- fransje26 3y agoYou won't get tracked if you block ports 80/433/8443, that's a fact.
- randomname93857 3y agoSorry for deviating from OP subject -any pointers to a good (https/ssl) traffic analysis guide?
- spacecadet 3y agoWireshark/TShark/PShark I use T/P Shark to store everything in a local graph database and then perform cluster, outlier, etc on it. IPInfo API for additional details not in the packet. I have scripts that batch process IP addresses.
- bradley13 3y agoUm...that's what projects like PiHole are for. Why try to do this by yourself, when you can benefit from cooperative efforts?
- spacecadet 3y agoI run PiHole at various points in my network as well. Because I want to.
- spacecadet 3y agoSorry all, shit ton of traffic across a wide range of ports all going to marketing servers...
