What is Oculus Tools?

Oculus Tools is a set of scripts that automates downloading, filtering, and encoding domain lists from various categories (general threats, fake news, gambling, adult content, social networks). The scripts fetch source files, remove duplicates and unnecessary entries, and then encode the final result into Base64 format, ready for use in blocking and traffic analysis systems.

The toolkit includes: download_lists.py (list downloading), prefilter_app (data cleanup), base64coder_app (encoding), and the control script make_base_opt.sh.

Primary use cases include domain blocking for IDS/IPS environments, DNS filtering, proxy servers, and analysis of unwanted network traffic.
