The aim of this project is to develop a similar program to ad blockers in web browsers. We have to program a proxy in C language which will analyze incoming traffic and removes suspicious contents that are advertisements. This project is developed in the context of the course about advanced networks and systems teached at TELECOM Nancy.
- build: Contains all object files generated by the compiler.
- include: All header files.
- src: Contains the application’s source files.
## Installation
git clone [email protected]:quentin-tardivon/system-adblock.git
make
./adblock
# If you want to specify the port to use
./adblock --port=3141
On linux, there is some restrictions with the chromium web browser, you have to use the following command line to tell the browser the proxy to use:
# chromium, not working if there is already the program running
chromium-browser --proxy-server="127.0.0.1:3141"
It's very boring to change every compilation, the proxy of your web browser, just run the following:
# execute ./adblock and 'curl 01net.com'
# DEBUG=1 enables to print more things during the execution
make test DEBUG=1

On firefox dev edition, there is some special characters at the end of some requests, don't know what it is!

Sockets communications are established. On small websites (example.com), the proxy works fine. But on big websites like 01net.com, Some contents miss in the web broswer. In consequence, a lot of requests which depends on HTML page (CSS, JS, ...) are not loaded. I think that the fix should be done in client.c: get_http_response(...)
