This is an input source of the Ultimate Hosts Blacklist project. Its objective is to test and provide a cleaned version the upstream list.
The .pyfunceble directory is the directory that PyFunceble consider as its
configuration directory.
In other words, it is where PyFunceble stores everything that has nothing to
do with the test results.
The output directory is the directory where the results of the execution of
PyFunceble is stored until a test is complete (all subjects tested).
The info.json file is interpreted by our launcher. It describes the
input source to work with, where to fetch it and when we fetch it.
The clean.list file contains all ACTIVE results of
PyFunceble.
The domains.list file contains the decoded version of the upstream list.
The ip.list file contains all ACTIVE IP tested by PyFunceble.
The volatile.list file contains the content of the clean.list file + the
list of subjects which were flagged by the SPECIAL rules of PyFunceble as
ACTIVE.
The whitelisted.list file contains the content of the clean.list file
without all our whitelisted subjects.
The Ultimate Hosts Blacklist project is undoubtedly one of the world's largest curated Unified Hosts file for protecting your network, computer, device, children, or family against over several hundred thousand malicious actors.
The Ultimate Hosts Blacklist differentiates itself from other similar projects
because of the usage of PyFunceble in order to distribute as much ACTIVE
subject as possible while continuously retesting all INACTIVE subjects.
PyFunceble is the tool written by Nissar Chababy AKA @funilrys and used by the Ultimate Hosts Blacklist project to check the availability or syntax of a domain, IP or URL. It delivers its status based on the result from WHOIS, DNS LOOKUP or even the HTTP status code.
