Pi-hole Block Lists

Published 2019-01-09

I was really curious which blocking lists Pi-hole uses. It took me forever to find them. Turns out they are in basic-install.sh (for now, at least). Here’s the relevant excerpt:

appendToListsFile() {
    case $1 in
        StevenBlack  )  echo "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts" >> "${adlistFile}";;
        MalwareDom   )  echo "https://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/justdomains" >> "${adlistFile}";;
        Cameleon     )  echo "http://sysctl.org/cameleon/hosts" >> "${adlistFile}";;
        ZeusTracker  )  echo "https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/blocklist.php?download=domainblocklist" >> "${adlistFile}";;
        DisconTrack  )  echo "https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt" >> "${adlistFile}";;
        DisconAd     )  echo "https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt" >> "${adlistFile}";;
        HostsFile    )  echo "https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt" >> "${adlistFile}";;
    esac
}
