Updating /etc/hosts from Someone Who Cares

Someone Who Cares offers very nice rules for /etc/hosts, but sends data over HTTP and doesn't provide checksums or signatures. This program parses through the hosts file to ensure that the rules are safe. You may freely use and modify this code under the CC0 1.0 Universal License.

Usage

To grab the hosts file, just run:

swc-hosts [TYPE]

Where TYPE is either ipv4 or ipv6.

For somehow less exciting documentation, you can find the rustdoc here.
