A script to check domains or IP accessibilities.

The main idea was to create a script that can check if domain or a list of domains are/is ACTIVE or INACTIVE. And, in between, create a hosts file based on the results.

tool

Usage: ./tool [ -d ] [ -h ]

       {[ -i ]} || {[ -p ]} || {[ -u ]}

  --debug                    -d              Activate the debug mode with the installation (Must be before -u or -i)

Hosts files

What is a hosts file?

A hosts file, named hosts (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.

In most operating systems, the hosts file is preferential to DNS. Therefore if a domain name is resolved by the hosts file, the request never leaves your computer.

Having a smart hosts file goes a long way towards blocking malware, adware, ransomware, porn and other nuisance websites.

A hosts file like this causes any lookups to any of the listed domains to resolve back to your localhost so it prevents any outgoing connections to the listed domains.

Recommendations

I'd personally recommend using Steven's hosts or Pi-Hole which are in my opinion the best out there.
