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. 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 |

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. Paul |
