add gigya.com au CDN, used on abc.net.au

Open KathyReid opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

cdns.au1.gigya.com is used for tracking on *.abc.net.au See also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20bqzIoB-Fw (work on investigating abc.net.au)

You are speaking of preventing tracking from abc news and then link to youtube :confused:

The YouTube is a video of the research that is being done on ABC tracking ...

I mean, I'm happy to set up my own hosts list for pihole, but I'm following what the docs say for reporting additional domains 🤷🏾‍♀️

Any update on this PR or should I create my own custom blacklist?

KathyReid avatar Sep 19 '22 23:09 KathyReid

probably need to make your own blacklist. Gigya has been known to cause problems when blocked though I wish I could

I may end up adding it, though, since your bringing it up again. I didn't see mention of it in that youtube video you referenced, though. Have you blocked it w/o breakage?

For what it's worth, when I look at a domain such as this, sometimes I download the latest Cisco Umbrella (formerly OpenDNS) top 1 million daily DNS lookups. It's based on hits from their millions of millions of customers' devices worldwide. That way I get a glimpse of a lot of the subdomains they may use to communicate w/ devices.

http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/umbrella-static/index.html

Open the csv in Notepad++, click CTRL+M to do a search while adding bookmarks, search for gigya & then goto search > bookmark > cut bookmarked lines, and then paste them into a new document.

Then I may search on VirusTotal.com to see if the subdomain shows up there, click on the relations tab & see if, say, Android apps communicate with that subdomain. I just figured I'd pass along some of my methods :) It usually takes me down a rabbit hole, such as seeing their regional CDN's and whatnot.

... while I'm at it, I added those lists to an experimental list here https://github.com/jawz101/subdomain_blocklists

I'll watch it for a while and see if it catches any blocks on my network over time. If you have a pi-hole or other network-wide DNS-based ad blocker on your home network you can add that list and see if it catches any of them

jawz101 avatar Sep 20 '22 02:09 jawz101

Now I'm looking through an old issue. socialize.*.gigya.com causes breakage According to their documentation, it's used for webpages that let users log into a site w/ various social network logins

https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_CUSTOMER_DATA_CLOUD/8b8d6fffe113457094a17701f63e3d6a/4172d0a670b21014bbc5a10ce4041860.html?q=socialize

Now I'm just going through that list above and seeing what might cause breakage for some things and what might be related to analytics. It'll take a little time.

jawz101 avatar Sep 20 '22 02:09 jawz101

ok. I added a chunk of them to the list

jawz101 avatar Sep 20 '22 03:09 jawz101

I am already getting reports of breakages. https://github.com/AdAway/adaway.github.io/issues/351

I may remove them as I hear reports. Otherwise, they will remain.
