Default Blocking ALL Window$ Update servers


Anyone got the list of IP addresses and domain names?

I don't want my Win 10 being AUTOMATICALLY updated to bring troubles.

If you unplug the network cable, you will be *very very* safe.

Or switch ALL over to Linux? But then Fedora and Ubuntu also feature
update services.

NO, I don't wanna use any special tool. I don't wanna play game of trust.

We just need a list containing all IP addresses and domain names of
Window$ Update servers.

Or which cable, if it is the power cable then you have ultimate security ;-)

Fine. Then *don't* ask this question again.

Do you think blocking IP addresses is a game of
MahJong or something ? Blocking is hackery too, and
a hackery with no certain outcome. Only... frustration
when your subterfuge fails.

*******

It's actually illegal to reverse engineer Windows
and you can be charged under DMCA. This is why
"researchers" who work in official institutions
cannot provide us with complete lists of resources
needed to "break" windows. Because they could be
charged under DMCA. This is one reason, why no
researcher will provide us with information
about Skype any more. "Legal chill". They were
out on a limb when they analyzed the first
version of Skype (before Microsoft bought it).
Some Skype researchers actually had a separate
web page, listing the advice they got from a
lawyer.

So while you're having fun and games out here,
there is a reason why authoritative research
doesn't exist, and only dribs and drabs are
available. If you do a "professional" job of
reverse engineering the OS, and publish from
a static web page, they *could* come after you.

I think early on, when someone in s social
networking site, delivered a list of resources
for Windows 10, he "disappeared", and at the time,
I suspected some lawyers with DMCA threats played
a part. (They may have sent a take-down to the
platform he was publishing on.) The dude didn't
disappear because his mom had pizza pockets
in the microwave.

So good luck with figuring out that IP
list *on your own*.

Paul,

I don't see the original post (probably filtered out) so I'll just drop in
here to add my two cents. You can use the following FQDN's but I seriously
doubt this is complete but these are posted on the MS TechNet site and
current as of Apr 2015

MS has WSUS servers all over the world. You could try using WireShark to
trap URL's by manually triggering an update from several systems to catch a
few. Then in your firewall blocks those and see what Win10 does - it spits
out another IP after it fails to contact the first server.

With all the WSUS servers and mechanisms within Win10 to overcome
permanently blocking updates - you're in for a long day. Here's a post on
MS Partner support forum that may help as well as a hot link within that
post:

You can only be charged under DMCA if you live in the United States.

Microsoft has a series of canned IP addresses with no reverse
lookup. They're used in case the user blocks the regular ones.

For example, my Win10 box contacted the "vortex" server while
I was running Wireshark. The Wireshark trace didn't list a symbolic
address. Using nslookup, I didn't get a symbolic address either.
Which means my computer did not contact a local DNS server, to
obtain the numeric IP address in question.

Using a web server offering DNS translations, I could see it
was the vortex server.

If a network operation doesn't require consulting a HOSTS
file, I don't see how loading the file up with stuff
will help.

That's what the guy in some forum was pointing out.

Once a piece of software resorts to such techniques,
now they don't even need to keep a list, or
keep an obfuscated list, or keep en encrypted IP
list. Tney can use algorithmically generated IP addresses,
just the way that malware uses to contact C&C servers.
Where the domains are registered hours before they're
needed, to keep contact with the C&C working. A simple
math equation, generates an infinite list of IPs.

Is this a military requirement? Requested by US Senates?

I would like to prevent my own Win 10 from reaching Micro$oft without

YOU already gave your "approval and consent" to updating when you
accepted your Microsoft license terms.

"Updates. The software periodically checks for system and app updates,
