4 Preparing dictionaries that list resources to block

Preparing a dictionary with a list of resources to block takes two steps. Firstly, one creates a text file with a list of resources. Secondly, one converts this file into an internal format by means of a special utility.

The conversion is carried out with two utilities:
  • url2dic - for URL, SNI CN
  • ip2bin - for IP

File format with a list of URLs to block:

Each line contains one URL (with no http:// prefix). For example:

1magehut.com/users.php?act=gallery&gal=81&page=4
3dmx.net

To convert into the internal format

cat my_url_list.txt|url2dic my_url_list.dic

To convert into the internal format with automatic conversion of domains and URL-letters written in the national alphabet in utf-8 encoding:

cat my_url_list.txt|url2norm|url2dic my_url_list.dic

File format with a list of names to block in SSL certificates:

Each line contains one name. For example:

*.facebook.com
www.vasexpertsdpi.com

To convert into the internal format:

cat my_cn_list.txt|url2dic my_cn_list.dic

File format with a list of public SNI (HTTPS domains)

Each line contains one SNI (without http:// prefix), it is allowed to use *, for example:

qiwi.ru
*.qiwi.ru

To convert into internal format

cat my_sni_list.txt|url2dic my_sni_list.bin

File format with a list of IP addresses to block:

Each line contains one IP then space then the port's number:

78.47.115.34 443
95.211.6.92 443

To convert into the internal format:

cat my_ip_list.txt|ip2bin my_ip_list.bin
