hosts/Microsoft

About

This is a fork from crazy-max project. Add them to your host list.

SpyMicroft is spy host list and Microsoft is extra and update hosts: crazy-max Windows hosts

I have added other hosts I've found using Wireshark and tcpdump as well as some common hosts we could see using Windows (Firefox, Nvidia and so on)

The purpose is zero automatic connections using Windows. For this goal I strongly recommend LTSC version.

Anyway, SmartScreen may send some information even we add those connections to our host list (go.microsoft.com mainly) Due to the fact Edge SmartScreeen cannot be disabled in Windows options (because it's not installed on LTSC) we have to install this browser from Microsoft web and when it's done we have to disable SmartScreen inside Edge preferences. Then, uncheck again all SmartScreen sections in Windows options. Finally, disable edgeupdate in services.msc.

Afterwards, execute regedit and change any go.microsoft.com for about.blank.

Finally, install opensource Simplewall firewall and deny any connection to Microsoft.
