Ooooh, I love an opportunity to learn. As someone who has used both blacklists and whitelists throughout the years extensively I’d like to know why one is superior over the other in your perspective.
Yeah, that’s why they both have their applications. If you want to just block some things and allow everything else, use a blacklist. If you want to block everything but some things, use a whitelist.
