This is the whitelisting tool provided by the Ultimate Hosts Blacklist project. The script is mainly used to whitelist subject (domains, IP, URL) into our infrastructure but it can also easily be used outside our infrastructure.
The ultimate hosts blacklist whitelist (UHBW) tool allows you:
- to append your own whitelist as complementary to our whitelist.
uhb_whitelist -f inputfile -o outputfile -w whitelistfile
- to anti-whitelist (reverse) only particular domains while still using our core list.
uhb_whitelist -f inputfile -o outputfile --anti-whitelist antiwhitelistfile
- to whitelist and anti-whitelist while still using our core list.
uhb_whitelist -f inputfile -o outputfile --anti-whitelist antiwhitelistfile -w whitelistfile
- to override our core whitelist whilst still applying your own personal whitelist and anti-whitelist.
uhb_whitelist -f inputfile -o outputfile --anti-whitelist antiwhitelistfile -w whitelistfile -wc
- to have a whitelist tool ready to use as a Python module.
$ pip3 install --user ultimate-hosts-blacklist-whitelist
The hosted whitelist can be found at whitelist This white-list is maintained by the team of good peoples behind the whitelist project.
UHBW allows you to link one or more file(s) to the system which will be used as complementary to the hosted whitelist, which is downloaded and used by default.
If you already have tried to use a whitelist, you'll probably know, that in generally you can only add one domain or URL per line in a file, for which you want to whitelist.
With UHBW you can do this, but in addition to that tedious way, UHBW allows you
to use Regex, RZD and ALL
The ALL marker will tell the system to escape and regex check against
what follows.
$- As we automatically append
$to the end of each line, you should not use this character.
- As we automatically append
\\- As we automatically escape any given expression, you should not explicitly
escape your regular expression when declaring an
ALLmarker.
- As we automatically escape any given expression, you should not explicitly
escape your regular expression when declaring an
The REG marker will tell the system to explicitly check for the given
regex which follows the marker.
The RZD marker will tell the system to explicitly check for the given
string plus all possible TDL.
Don't like some of our rule(s)? UHBW allows you to specify a file, which contain a list of rule(s) you don't want to be applied.
Simply use the --anti-whitelist flag to provide one or more anti whitelist
files and UHBW will obey your wishes!
If you have your own whitelist, with the following lines:
facebook.com ALL .gov REG face RZD example
UHBW will do as follows:
- Remove every line which match
facebook.comandwww.facebook.com - In complementary convert all lines with
ALLorREGto the right format. - Remove every line which match
example.* - Check every line against the regular expression. More about this in next chapter.
- Print the results on screen or save to output file
-o $output.file.
The generated regular expression will from this example be:
(\.gov$)|(face)|(example(.*))
Note
The example group is much longer, as we construct the list of TDL
based on the Root Zone Database, of IANA and the Public Suffix List
project.**
Which means UHBW actually will whitelist:
- all elements/lines which ends with
.gov - all elements/lines which contain the word
face - all possible TDL combination which starts with
example
Your input files of domains / urls should be one domain / url per line and should also preferably be sorted.
sort -u inputfile -o inputfile
The script can be called by uhb-whitelist, uhb_whitelist or
ultimate-hosts-blacklist-whitelist.
usage: ultimate-hosts-blacklist-whitelist [-h]
[-a ANTI_WHITELIST [ANTI_WHITELIST ...]]
[--all ALL [ALL ...]] [-d] [-df]
[-f FILE] [--hierachical-sorting]
[-o OUTPUT] [-m] [--no-complement]
[-p PROCESSES] [--reg REG [REG ...]]
[--rzd RZD [RZD ...]]
[--standard-sorting] [-v]
[-w WHITELIST [WHITELIST ...]] [-wc]
UHBW is a tool to clean up lists or hosts files with the hosted and/or your
own whitelist.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a ANTI_WHITELIST [ANTI_WHITELIST ...], --anti-whitelist ANTI_WHITELIST [ANTI_WHITELIST ...]
Read the given file override rules from the UHBW
hosted whitelist which is used by default. (See also
`-wc`)
--all ALL [ALL ...] Read the given file(s) and append its rules to the
whitelisting schema. Note: The rules injected
through this argument will be automatically prefixed
with the `ALL` marker.
-d, --debug Activate the debug mode. This mode will write the
whole processes to stdout.
-df, --debug-into-file
Activate the logging into a file called
`uhb_whitelist_debug` at the current location.
-f FILE, --file FILE The file to whitelist/clean.
--hierachical-sorting
Process a hierarchical sorting when outputing into a
file.
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Save the result to the given filename or path. (Can
not be the same as input file `-f`)
-m, --multiprocessing
Activate the usage of multiple core processes.
--no-complement Forbid us the generation of complements while parsing
the whitelist list. Complements are `www.example.org`
if `example.org` is given and vice-versa.
-p PROCESSES, --processes PROCESSES
The number of (maximal) processes core to use.
--reg REG [REG ...] Read the given file(s) and append its rules to the
whitelisting schema. Note: The rules injected
through this argument will be automatically prefixed
with the `REG` marker.
--rzd RZD [RZD ...] Read the given file(s) and append its rules to the
whitelisting schema. Note: The rules injected
through this argument will be automatically prefixed
with the `RZD` marker.
--standard-sorting Process a sorting when outputing into a file.
-v, --version Show the version end exist.
-w WHITELIST [WHITELIST ...], --whitelist WHITELIST [WHITELIST ...]
Read the given file(s) and append its rules to the
whitelisting schema. Note: The rules injected
through this argument won't be changed. We follow what
you give us. That means that if you give any of our
supported rules, they will still be appended to the
whitelisting schema.
-wc, --without-core Disable the usage of the Ultimate Hosts Blacklist
whitelist hosted list.
