29 September 2007 Changes (HHH) ------------------------------- 1. Action: "network54.com" Added: GoodDomains[i++] = "network54.com"; Reason: http://www.network54.com/Forum/223428/ 2. Action: "cool" "free" "hot" "live" From: BadHostParts[i++] = "cool"; BadHostParts[i++] = "free[^d]"; BadHostWordStarts[i++] = "hot[^em]"; // PERSONAL RULE BadURL_WordEnds[i++] = "[^s]hot"; BadHostWordStarts[i++] = "live"; // PERSONAL RULE BadHostWordEnds[i++] = "live"; // PERSONAL RULE To: // BadHostParts[i++] = "cool"; // YOUR CHOICE // BadHostParts[i++] = "free[^d]"; // YOUR CHOICE // BadHostWordStarts[i++] = "hot[^em]"; // YOUR CHOICE // BadURL_WordEnds[i++] = "[^s]hot"; // YOUR CHOICE // BadHostWordStarts[i++] = "live"; // YOUR CHOICE // BadHostWordEnds[i++] = "live"; // YOUR CHOICE Reason: They just cause too many problems. Sure, there are a high number of hosts that are abusive. There is no right or wrong answer here. Just lots of problems. This will change the documents one more time but there is nothing I can do about it. 3. Action: PERSONAL RULE -> YOUR CHOICE en Français, RÈGLE PERSONNELLE -> VOTRE CHOIX From: BadURL_Parts[i++] = "[^aeilns]cul[^it]"; // PERSONAL RULE BadHostParts[i++] = "kazaa"; // PERSONAL P2P RULE BadHostWordStarts[i++] = "zoo"; // PERSONAL RULE To: BadURL_Parts[i++] = "[^aeilns]cul[^it]"; // YOUR CHOICE BadHostParts[i++] = "kazaa"; // P2P YOUR CHOICE BadHostWordStarts[i++] = "zoo"; // YOUR CHOICE Reason: Shifting to "YOUR CHOICE" to indicate something optional to them. 4. Action: useless rules that they can add themselves. Removed: GoodDomains[i++] = "citychurchlive.org"; // PERSONAL RULE GoodDomains[i++] = "topix.net"; // PERSONAL RULE Reason: removal of rules that blocked them means they are no longer needed. I am only going to leave ONE // PERSONAL RULE, seventeentraditions.com. I will leave that one as an example. 5. Action: NOT NEEDED Removed: GoodDomains[i++] = "indigipix.com"; // PERSONAL RULE Reason: The PAC rules are not blocking it any more. 6. Action: ONLY ONE PERSONAL RULE IS LEFT Removed: PERSONAL (en Français, PERSONNELLE) Reason: People can remove what ever they want to anyway. I want these key words left for THEIR rules to be preserved. It is just that the whole thing is optional. They can use it how ever they want to (all three of us) 7. Action: "regnow.com" Removed: BadDomains[i++] = ".regnow.com"; Reason: This somehow got in there by mistake. It would help if other people would give feedback. I suspect what should have been added was repairregnow.com which is gone as well anyway. 8. Action: webbweavers.com Added: GoodDomains[i++] = "webbweavers.com"; // "bbw" Reason: False Positive "bbw" 9. Action: stopscum.com Added: GoodDomains[i++] = "stopscum.com"; Reason: FALSE POSITIVE - "huge" Not the best of the antispy / antispam groups but they do what they can. 10. Action: "*.2o7.net" From: ALL THE IPs commented out To: UNCOMMENTED. Reason: I got tired of uncommenting them for myself. I will keep them up to date. It is other people's responsibility to not let things go stale. The only reason these companies change them is to keep the company proxy people on their toes changing their IP address blocks all the time in hopes that they will quit doing it. 29 September 2007 UNresolved False Positives (HHH) -------------------------------------------------- 1. Pattern: "tgp" Rules: BadURL_Parts[i++] = "tgp"; Reason: www.tomshardware.com/Design/graphics/\ tomshardware/logo_tgpfoot.gif www.vmware.com/files/images/promos/\ ws_promo_tgp.gif www.symantec.com/content/en/us/enterprise/\ images/promo/ent-vista_sec_mktgpromo.jpg ANY IDEAS WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT? 2. Pattern: "chest" Rules: BadURL_WordStarts[i++] = "chest"; BadURL_WordEnds[i++] = "chest"; Reason: Wed May 16 10:11:41: images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/en_US/images/global\ /features/gigrad_blueshirtchest_2007.jpg THE EASY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO ADD A GoodDomains ".bestbuy.com" RULE. THE PROBLEM IS: hope-chest drawer-chest, chest-of-jewels, treasure-chest, etc. Further, even the efficacy of the rule itself poses no reason to drop the rules from URL to HOST: 44 chest_Parts.txt 5 chest_Starts_and_Ends.txt 33 chest_Passed_All_Rules.txt 82 total 3. Pattern: "bbw" Rules: BadURL_Parts[i++] = "bbw"; Reason: Sat Jun 2 20:49:05: topics.nytimes.com/adx/bin/clientside\ /1dd00e15Q2F8!Q60VY6sQ2BQ3BXQ5B9L4LNTQ5BQ3BBwQ5BBQ5BXsN 4. Pattern: "rape" Rules: BadURL_WordStarts[i++] = "rape"; (PROBABLY OKAY) BadURL_WordEnds[i++] = "rape"; Reason: Fri Jun 8 05:59:23: creativecommons.org/apps/scrape I found the following words that end with "rape" that have 1, 2, or 3 letters in front of that: crape drape grape scrape serape That gives the [^cdeg] in front of the rule at a maximum and a [^c] at a minimum. but remember that grape can be gangrape. SEE 15 Jun 2007 CHANGES IF THIS IS RESOLVED 29 September 2007 RESOLVED False Positives (HHH) ------------------------------------------------ 1. Pattern: "gyn" Rules: BadURL_Parts[i++] = "gyn"; Reason: I didn't save it - it was on Windows (Peer Gynt) Solution: BadURL_Parts[i++] = "gyn[(e|o)]"; BadURL_Parts[i++] = "obgyn";
