# Black Hole Zone Generator > A really simple set of tools to automate the generation of black hole Bind zones for known malicious hosts. DNS black holing is a simple and effective way of preventing malicious traffic on your network. Usually this is done by maintaining a list of entries in your systems `hosts` file but you can easily protect a whole network in a single place by offloading the responsibility to a single Bind server. ## Installation All that's needed is to run the included install script: ```sh ./install.sh ``` ## Usage The blackhole lists are created & updated by running the following: ```sh ./run.sh ``` This repo comes with a predefined set of host sources in `sources.csv`. This could easily be expanded with additional sources to suit your needs. ## Meta Distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 license.
