- AdGuard browser extension -> [URL-based (AdGuard)](#url-based-adguard)
- Vivaldi -> [URL-based (Vivaldi)](#url-based-vivaldi)
- [Hosts](#hosts-based)
- [Dnsmasq](#dnsmasq)
- BIND -> BIND [zone](#bind) or [RPZ](#response-policy-zone)
- [Unbound](#unbound)
- [dnscrypt-proxy](#dnscrypt-proxy)
- Internet Explorer -> [Tracking Protection List (IE)](#tracking-protection-list-ie)

## Issues

This blocklist operates by blocking the **whole** website, instead of specific webpages; exceptions are made on popular websites (e.g. `https://docs.google.com/`), in which webpages are specified instead (e.g. `https://docs.google.com/phishing-page`). Phishing webpages are only listed in [URL-based](#url-based) filter, popular websites are excluded from other filters.

*Popular* websites are as listed in the [Umbrella Popularity List](https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/umbrella-static/index.html) (top 1M domains + subdomains), [Tranco List](https://tranco-list.eu/) (top 1M domains) and this [custom list](src/exclude.txt).

If you wish to exclude certain website(s) that you believe is sufficiently well-known, please create an [issue](https://gitlab.com/curben/phishing-filter/issues) or [merge request](https://gitlab.com/curben/phishing-filter/merge_requests).

This blocklist **only** accepts new phishing URLs from [PhishTank](https://www.phishtank.com/) and [OpenPhish](https://openphish.com/).

Please report new phishing URL to [PhishTank](https://www.phishtank.com/add_web_phish.php) or [OpenPhish](https://openphish.com/faq.html).

## Cloning

Since the filter is updated frequently, cloning the repo would become slower over time as the revision grows.

Use shallow clone to get the recent revisions only. Getting the last five revisions should be sufficient for a valid MR.

`git clone --depth 5 https://gitlab.com/curben/phishing-filter.git`
