TPB Is again mining crypto-currency in background
#21
Finding out what to block is not difficult.

Open any TPB site source code and find this
   <script src="//thepiratebay.org/static/js/tpb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

By opening tpb.js you can see some obfuscated code beginning with var _0x3044=['\x6f\x70\x65\x6e','\x67\x65\x74'
Visit a decryptor such as http://ddecode.com/hexdecoder/
and decrypt everyting from var to the end of the file. In the Decoded result you can find these authcaptcha:

wss://ocean2.authcaptcha.com','wss://rock2.authcaptcha.com','wss://stone2.authcaptcha.com','wss://sass2.authcaptcha.com'
and further 'wss://sea2.authcaptcha.com'

All you need to do is to add them to your c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts like so:

127.0.0.1  ocean2.authcaptcha.com
127.0.0.1  rock2.authcaptcha.com
127.0.0.1  stone2.authcaptcha.com
127.0.0.1  sass2.authcaptcha.com
127.0.0.1  sea2.authcaptcha.com

There is also an adblock-nocoin-list cointaining these authcaptcha
https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-noc.../hosts.txt

And remember authcaptcha is a bad thing.

Even thoug I use adblock, sometimes I need to disable it for some reason. So it is a good idea to add the next ones to the hosts file too as you can find them in each TPB site source code:

127.0.0.1 protect-your-privacy.net
127.0.0.1 syndication.exoclick.com
127.0.0.1 exoclick.com
127.0.0.1 main.exoclick.com
127.0.0.1 static-ssl.exoclick.com
127.0.0.1 2468.go2cloud.org
127.0.0.1 anonymous-net.com
127.0.0.1 ads.exosrv.com
127.0.0.1 s3.amazonaws.com
127.0.0.1 traffic.adxprtz.com


I hope this helps.
