Did anyone save flashplayer32_xa_install.exe network traffic

Hi there, a few hours before adobe stopped distributing flash from its website, I saved its web installer Flash Web installer.zip

but I forgot to capture web traffic it sent to adobe, as it is using https everything is encrypted, so even if I download a sample of network traffic from here: https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/7d531b83569b35c77ec78af1f04c0f9eb181a1b79d0af7ba02c5689e8ac6d703/5cad9043028838a91130a7f9

it won't help me since https traffic is encrypted

So did anyone by any change used fiddler at some point and captured (decrypted https) traffic that Adobe Download Manager sent to adobe?

The flash player Adobe was distributing is an online installer, so it required an internet connection to run and it was a wrapper for the real installer that was kept online. This no longer works as even if you have a flash player installer file on your computer, it won't run any more, because Adobe deleted the required files from their website.

However I managed to download offline installers for flash player version 32.0.0.465 for windows, mac, linux, internet explorer (ActiveX), firefox and safari (NPAPI) and chrome (PPAPI). It's the latest version and no internet connection is required.

You can download them here.
