• Version : 2.4
• Author : Penthium2
• Release date : 07-01-2016

Inspired by original hakerdefo script.

This script generates a powerful Hosts file for linux by merging 5 lists of advertisement references. More than 3 000 000 hosts Banned.

Usage :

Just run the script or add some options :

• --ats : activate blacklist of ad/tracking & malware sites listed in the StevenBlack & BlockListProject hosts file.
• --abu : activate blacklist of sites created to deceive listed in the BlockListProject hosts file.
• --cry : activate blacklist of crypto sites listed in BlockListProject hosts file (can break normal "good" crypto sites).
• --dru : activate blacklist of drug sites listed in BlockListProject hosts file (Illegal sites that deal with drugs).
• --fbk : activate blacklist of facebook sites (Blocking Facebook and Facebook related/owned services) listed in the BlockListProject hosts file.
• --fkn : activate blacklist of fake news sites listed in the StevenBlack hosts file.
• --frd : activate blacklist of fraud sites listed in the BlockListProject hosts file.
• --gmb : activate blacklist of gambling sites listed in the StevenBlack & BlockListProject hosts file.
• --prn : activate blacklist of porn sites listed in the StevenBlack & BlockListProject hosts file.
• --scl : activate blacklist of social sites listed in the StevenBlack hosts file.
• --all : activate blacklist of all sites listed in the StevenBlack & BlockListProject hosts file.

Adkill creates ~/.adkill directory then

• backs up original /etc/hosts file named : hosts-system
• creates a file with all Adblock references : hosts-block

Each time you run Adkill, its analyses your hosts file and just add new ad sources. So you can easily unblacklist an advertisement reference.

• If you run Adkill with root, the merging of original hosts file and new advertisement references is automatic.
• If you run Adkill with normal user, Adkill prompts you how to merge manualy the advertisement references in your hosts file.

Automation :

Copy Adkill in your /etc/cron.weekly directory.
