Adobe Installer

[TanMan]

OK. That was very weird. It was too hard to sift through all the traffic using Wireshark since it can't filter by process name (it doesn't track that). So I ended up using procmon and filtering for the CCMaker procname and the operation beginning with TCP. From that I found that no Adobe servers were hit at all. Only AWS and Cloudfront. It appears to get the download locations from an AWS site, then it downloads from wherever that site says. I tried it multiple times, and the download sites changed every time, always between AWS and Cloudfront, except for the first one, which was always at AWS (3.224.138.148, ec2-3-224-138-148.compute-1.amazonaws.com).

The weird thing is that none of the IP addresses or host names in my trace were in my HOSTS file. So I have no idea why it was interfering with CCMaker. I did see that my HOSTS file had grown over the years and had a lot of crap in it, so I created a new one with only the things I need now. With this new HOSTS file, CCMaker works just fine.

If anyone's interested, here's my latest procmon logfile (as a csv):
