# URLhaus Malicious URL Blocklist

A blocklist of malicious URLs that are being used for malware distribution, based on the **Database dump (CSV)** of Abuse.ch [URLhaus](https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/).

Please refer to the appropriate section according to the program used:

- uBlock Origin (uBO) / NanoAdblocker -> [URL-based](#url-based) section (recommended)
- Pi-hole -> [Host-based](#host-based) section
- Dnsmasq DNS server -> [Dnsmasq](#dnsmasq) section

## URL-based

Filter is updated twice a day.

Import the following URL into uBO to subscribe:

**Note:** Lite version is ~95% smaller by excluding offline urls. The status of urls is determined by the upstream Abuse.ch. However, the test is not 100% accurate and some malicious urls that are otherwise accessible may be missed. If bandwidth (1.5MB/day) is not a constraint, I recommend the regular version.

*PS: While regular version contains roughly 65K filters, uBO can [easily handle](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338#issuecomment-452843669) half a million filters.*

## Compatibility

This filter is only tested with uBO. [FilterLists](https://filterlists.com/) shows it is compatible with the following software:

- [AdNauseam](https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/)
- [NanoAdblocker](https://github.com/NanoAdblocker/NanoCore)

Host/DNS-based software uses host-based blocklist instead, see below section.

## Host-based

If you're using host-based blockers like one of the following (but not limited to):

- [AdGuard Home](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome)
- [Blokada](https://github.com/blokadaorg/blokada/)
- [Google Hit Hider](https://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/google-hit-hider/)
- [hostsmgr](https://www.henrypp.org/product/hostsmgr)
- [Personal Blocklist](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/personal-blocklist/)
- [personalDNSfilter](https://zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsfilter)
- [Pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net/)
- [Samsung Knox](https://www.samsungknox.com/)
- [uMatrix](https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix)

Note that host-based software does not block malware URLs hosted by well-known domains (e.g. amazonaws.com, docs.google.com, dropbox.com).

## Issues

Report any false positive by creating an [issue](https://gitlab.com/curben/urlhaus-filter/issues) or [merge request](https://gitlab.com/curben/urlhaus-filter/merge_requests)

This filter **only** accepts malware URLs from [URLhaus](https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/).

Please report new malware URL to the upstream maintainer through https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/api/#submit.

This repo is not endorsed by Abuse.ch.

## 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/urlhaus-filter.git`
