by zitstif on Oct.08, 2015, under Code, Posts
When Kali Linux 2.0 came out I decided to upgrade my laptop to this version through the upgrade process (which took very long keep in mind.. it may have just been quicker to just reload the OS). Upon completion of the upgrade process I noticed the desktop GUI and windows didn’t look quite right. Additionally the theme wasn’t right either. Long story short I had to install these packages to fix the issue:
Or you can simply run this quick and dirty script (using sudo obviously):

I know this is out of the norm for what I usually post. But the salient reason for why I posted this is because I’m tired of blind belief of x or y ism, religion, or even blind belief of science.

I’ve compiled another HOSTS block list for those who want to block crap. If you’re not sure how to add the list to your hosts file, check out:

Enjoy less crap on the internet!
WARNING: I have tested adding this to my Windows 10 hosts and I have noticed svchost.exe (owned by NETWORK SERVICE) spikes up in CPU usage and DNS functionality stops responding momentarily until the mentioned process calms down in CPU usage. On my work computer running Windows 7 Professional in a domain environment the same service would spike up and seem to cause a DOS condition with DNS functionality and would not respond. USE WITH CAUTION AND TEST BEFORE DEPLOYING IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS.
#Update 10/9/2015
After testing and much consideration I do not recommend adding these hosts to your hosts list on Windows based systems unless they are higher end systems with cpu scores of like 8000 from https://www.cpubenchmark.net/
#Update 12/28/2015
This updated blacklist also causes issues with tennis.com comments section and Nexon account registration.
Windows Activation URL

#Update 10/7/2015 It appears that IE9 and IE10 will not work on these activation URLs but google-chrome and the like seem to work.
Are you ever tired of having to call Microsoft’s automated system to activate your Windows install? Use this URL instead, it’s ten times faster after you have your installation ID window up (accessible via slui.exe 4 in the run prompt):
#Update 7/30/2015
Should you have problems with that URL, try this one:
#Update 3/31/2016
New URL to use: http://bit.ly/1q60R3W
#update 6/8/2018
New URL to use: http://m.vivr.io/mUJ1zm3
#update 6/21/2018
Doesn’t seem to work anymore and you need to call their automated phone system and get a unique URL each time.
