Issues

This blocklist operates by blocking the whole website, popular websites are excluded from the filters.

Popular websites are as listed in the Umbrella Popularity List (top 1M domains + subdomains), Tranco List (top 1M domains) and this custom list.

If you wish to exclude certain website(s) that you believe is sufficiently well-known, please create an issue or merge request.

This blocklist only accepts new malicious URLs from malware-discoverer.

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/pup-filter.git
