State owned telecom operator BSNL has been injecting banner ads and other service related messages on web browsers within its broadband network. It has followed in the footsteps of the other state owned telecom operator: MTNL, which was found to be inserting code into what users were browsing in June last year.

Ads are injected by BSNL, just as they were by MTNL, in the browser through a javascript code. BSNL appears to be pushing these ads via a private ad network named Abeer Media, according to users on github and broadband forum, although the company hasn’t revealed this data in response to an RTI. Ads are visible across all websites, and we found them popping up while browsing TechCrunch, Naukri.com, MediaNama, The Indian Express,etc.

All the while I was thinking how could these ads escape the adblock plugin. Now I know why.:mad: They just keep popping up randomly

Ads blockers work by blocking domains and ad blockers will only block global ads eg: google adsense . BSNL ads injection is done using IPs (Address 117.202.20.130 for me).
You can block the ip(s) on firewall.

Ads blockers work by blocking domains and ad blockers will only block global ads eg: google adsense . BSNL ads injection is done using IPs (Address 117.202.20.130 for me).
You can block the ip(s) on firewall.

*goanwap.com/bsnl_injection.jpg

The same Bsnl ad getting on digit. Can u explain in detail how can i block this ad
 

bentogoa

Right off the assembly line
Just block the IP in firewall, this will stop showing the ad but will not stop the code injection.

The ads are serving from your own IP. Even if you have static ip I don't think you can ban your own ip. Need to try it first though

It's not bsnl though. It's the ad service company that's getting the profit. BSNL is too dumb to know about it.

No it's not any other company. Any other company can't get direct access to BSNL servers without getting permission. Also, I read somewhere that when petition was filed against this practice. BSNL replies that this is normal behavior and other companies do it too. Can't seem to remember the link though. Will post it when I'll find it again.

Time Ruins Everything
I also reported in our bsnl thread recently. Reporting through pgportal worked for some people. We need massive outcry against this.

Temporary fix - use HTTPS Everywhere.

Also,

Block these IPs in your router's Firewall/IP filter settings:
61.0.245.90
61.0.234.194
If you still see an ad (you'll only see them on pages served over HTTP and not HTTPS) find out where it's coming from using the Network tab in Developer Tools or by right-clicking on the ad and selecting Inspect.
Look for the IP address in the src attribute of the image. The ad removes itself after a short while so take note of the IP and add it to your router's IP filter.
Also switch over to OpenDNS or Google DNS and don't use BSNL's DNS if you can help it. Make sure you set your router to use these DNS servers and also configure router DHCP settings to use these DNS.
Probably the most effective option:
If you still see ads, try blocking its entire inetnum range: 61.0.0.0 - 61.1.255.255 (i.e. Source IP: 61.0.0.0; Subnet Mask: 255.254.0.0)
If you're not sure how to find the inetnum range, look up any one of the ad's IP address on *bgp.he.net using this format:
*bgp.he.net/ip/IP_ADDRESS#_whois
Replace IP_ADDRESS with the IP of the ad server.
On that page, look for something like this: inetnum: 61.0.0.0 - 61.1.255.255
Some routers allow you to enter the start and end IP address (the inetnum range itself) while others ask you for a source IP and subnet mask when creating an IP filter. Use this tool to calculate the subnet mask for your inetnum range.
Just enter any one of the ad server IPs into the tool, click Lookup! and look through the IP range (network - broadcast) list and find your inetnum range here and note the Subnet Mask (netmask) specified for it.
Now open your router configuration page and look for a Firewall / IP Filter option.
Use the information you have (inetnum range or ip/netmask combo) to set up a IP range filter to deny any downstream packets from this range of Source IPs. Leave the destination address and subnet mask empty or 0.0.0.0. Set the protocol to Any or IP. Save your settings. Some routers may need a reboot after this.

Hi everyone
unfortunately you have reached the wrong conclusion. Please read this thread: BSNL is NOT injecting the ads into our HTTP connections!! It's a CDN server called tinypass. Block them! They are deliberately maligning BSNL! : IndiaSpeaks

BSNL IS NOT INJECTING ads. Please check the Browser call stack for that request. (I have included snapshots in that Reddit link and you will quite clearly see that from the Firefox Call Stack, it's quite clear that tinypass.min.js is the culprit! If you then examine the src code for TinyPass you will immediately notice that they have hard-coded the BSNL IP in their Javascript. (Please read that Reddit link: it explains with snapshots, what's going on). TinyPass is a CDN and their developer.tinypass.com is hosted on AirTel!

It looks to me like TinyPass is playing the role of the East India Company and typing up with a debt ridden Airtel to UNJUSTLY ruin BSNLs reputation! Please reconsider your evidence and recheck your facts.
Ciao
