Rules
This project provides an iOS app ad-blocking ruleset, consisting of network traffic filter lists and proxy-based content filters. It functions as a collection of rewrite rules and scripts designed to intercept and modify network requests to remove advertisements from mobile applications.
The system utilizes HTTP response modification scripts to alter the bodies of network responses. Beyond ad blocking, these scripts enable in-app content translation, such as providing translated song lyrics within music applications.
The ruleset employs a pattern-matching engine using regular expressions and wildcards to identify targeted network requests. It operates via a local proxy to intercept traffic, apply rewrite-based filtering, and redirect or block specific endpoints.
Features
- Application Advertisement Blocking - Provides rule-sets designed to filter and remove advertising content from mobile applications.
- Mobile App Ad Blocking - Provides a comprehensive ruleset for removing advertisements from native iOS applications via network traffic interception.
- URL-Based Rewriting - Intercepts network traffic and modifies requested URLs based on a list of rewrite rules.
- Local Content Rewriting Proxies - Uses a local proxy to intercept and rewrite network requests to remove unwanted content from apps.
- Intercepting Proxies - Implements an intercepting proxy to modify HTTP traffic in real-time for mobile applications.
- Response Body Modification - Executes custom scripts to alter the bodies of HTTP network responses before they reach the application.
- Network Traffic Filters - Ships curated lists of URL patterns and regular expressions to identify and block advertising endpoints.
- Traffic Interception - Routes network requests through a local proxy to intercept and evaluate application traffic.
- Traffic Rule Sets - Provides curated collections of network routing and blocking rules for mobile application traffic.
- Network Traffic Filters - Intercepts and modifies network requests for specific apps to block ads and redirect traffic.
- URL Rewrite Rules - Matches outgoing requests against predefined patterns to block or redirect specific application endpoints.
- Lyric Translations - Modifies network responses using scripts to provide translated song lyrics within music applications.
- URL Pattern Matching - Uses regular expressions and wildcards to identify specific network requests for blocking or modification.
- In-App Content Translations - Modifies network responses via custom scripts to provide translated text and lyrics within music applications.
- Request Interception Middleware - Intercepts the network flow at the proxy level to apply modifications based on matching rules.
