Some observations… The URL’s should be fairly easy to filter against via a regex. Anyone have some working rules they could share?
Pls note than any rule shared via lists usually looses its teeth within a few hours .-)
The other thing is, the URL is almost always hosted by solarvps.com, in the CIDR block 65.181.64.0/18. Is there an easy way to do a domain lookup on the host portion of the URL and then filter it if it’s in this subnet?
Yes, there is: run a local A record blacklist with rbldnsd 65.181.64.0/18 and a rule like, for example: uridnssub YOUR_A_URIBL yourabl.example.net. A 127.0.0.2 body YOUR_A_URIBL eval:check_uridnsbl('YOUR_A_URIBL') describe YOUR_A_URIBL URL domain A rec listed by YOUR_A_URIBL score YOUR_A_URIBL 5.0 tflags YOUR_A_URIBL net a
