Little Snitch or Radio Silence are your best bet. You can use these apps to monitor the outgoing traffic from your Mac when you launch Lightroom and selectively block specific communications or the whole Lightroom application from external communication for future use.

Once installed, Little Snitch monitors your internet traffic and every time it detects an outbound connection, for example, Adobe Reader trying to access the internet, it pops up a window and ask.

In this day and age, running a computer without some kind of an outgoing firewall is like driving your car with your eyes closed.

There are so many malfeasors – from phishers to corporate spies – trying to track you and place you and grab you every time you check your email or you browse the web, that everyone needs a firewall.

If it doesn't find Little Snitch, the malware then tries to connect to a remote host in China in order to obtain other installation files and configurations. F-Secure notes that 'the remote host.

You can test this on OS X by installing Little Snitch and scrolling through your messages. A few of the outgoing calls are for innocent images, mainly they are for tracking tags and tracking images.

Little Snitch is free for 3 hour periods at a time so it can be installed to test and find out what domains you’d like to be blocking.

For long term blocking of nasty sites OS X, your solutions are threefold:

buy an outgoing firewall, i.e. Little Snitch. A bit pricey at $30 a license but it’s Little Snitch or go hungry
configure your hosts file to block most of the major offenders (people do keep lists)
use GlimmerBlocker control panel to block the baddies via internal proxy (works on all browsers)

Of the three, GlimmerBlocker was the best and the simplest. Until after a year and a half GlimmerBlocker decided to seize up and prevent me from editing WordPress sites. Apparently it’s database got full or something. I lost eight hours trying to troubleshoot this mystery when I desperately needed to work so GlimmerBlocker is banned now. A pity as GlimmerBlocker is free.

A hosts file is also great. By adding bad sites to the hosts file and redirecting them to localhost (127.0.0.1) you stop them dead in their tracks.

One of the more complete lists of domains to block via hosts is kept online here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt

To edit your hosts file on OS X, the quickest way is to use Terminal to give TextEdit root access to the hosts file.

Open a terminal window and type the following: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts
Hit return and enter your admin password when prompted and again hit return.
Your Hosts file should automatically open in TextEdit.
Copy the hosts from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt or ssomewhere else (mvps wastes a lot of space on the x-rated zone for those of us not into: alternative suggestions to mvps welcome)
Paste it into your text hosts file.
Save.
Test that hosts is working by browsing to one of the domains listed in mvps.
Continue to edit and save at your leisure (at each save the hosts file is updated and live: well done Apple).

Unfortunately both LittleSnitch and the hosts file suffer from the same fatal flaw. They don’t allow wildcards. So for instance, one of the worst bits of spyware around is Infusionsoft. Every time you get an email from a subscriber of infusionsoft they want to know if you opened it. Therefore every image is specific to you. But each user has his or her own subdomain, i.e. empowered.infusionsoft.com.

If you block infusionsoft.com in hosts with 127.0.0.1 infusionsoft.com, you will only block the homepage. You would have to block 127.0.0.1 empowered.infusionsoft.com for each and every Infusionsoft subscriber who sends you email.

Little Snitch automates this process and allows you to make the block application specific. I use Apple Mail exclusively as my email client (looks great, full feature set and very fast, btw) so Little Snitch and I pick off these offenders one by one.

What I really want though are wildcards in Little Snitch so that I can ban all infusionsoft.com subdomains with a single *.infusionsoft.com within Apple Mail. The same applies for edgesuite.net within Apple Mail (Edgesuite is for corporate email spies like Apple and eBay, Infusionsoft is for slippery marketers like Rich Schefren and friends like Mike Filsaime).

When is the Objective Development team going to get off their backsides and improve Little Snitch by adding wildcards? There is a three page thread in their forum which goes back to 2004 asking for subdomain blocking in Little Snitch. What’s particularly galling is that ObDev have not even bothered to answer our concerns.

Until Objective Development add a subdomains/wild card feature to Little Snitch, you may want to hold off on the purchase. Managing outgoing requests one subdomain at a time is very tedious work.

In the meantime, if you’d like to block certain domains or you have doubts about a certain piece of software, there is a free solution. You can turn Little Snitch on for three hours while you deal with spam email or install new software, take note of the domains you’d like to block and then add those domains to your hosts file.

“License Expired. Licensing for this product has expired.” – Adobe CS4, 2009

Use Little Snitch To Block Adobe Host Files

In ‘Defeating the Adobe CS4 ‘License Expired’ dialog in OS X’ we explained how to reset the registration and serial number of the CS4 Suite.

In this post we describe how to shut CS4 up. If your Adobe apps are allowed to communicate with or ping the Adobe mother ship, or activate.abobe.com, any new serial numbers you enter will ultimately be rejected. So we must block the CS4 apps making outbound network connections to the Internet.

We will describe two methods in OS X for preventing CS4 pinging the Adobe activation servers.

The first is to use Little Snitch, an app for OS X that creates rules for blocking the outbound communication of apps and services. The drawback here is that Little Snitch is commercial software, although Pirate Bay might disagree, and that it is a heavy handed means of shutting only a couple of applications up.

The second method for blocking the chatter between CS4 apps and the Adobe activation servers on your mac is to edit the hosts file (/etc/hosts). There are several apps that can be used to edit the hosts file. At this time I recommend using the updated TextEdit approach (Oct 6 2009). See TextEdit instructions below and also comment #249:

– HostsWidget

– Gas Mask 0.4

-Terminal. You can use a Terminal text editor like emacs, vi, nano and pico or you can add individual entries to the hosts file by issu
