traceroute
Simple traceroute program made as exercise for computer networks course. Works atop of ICMP protocol and makes use of raw sockets - therefore requires root privileges.
It generally acts exactly the same way as standard traceroute command with -I flag. Mine version is somehow faster and better (obviously). No DNS lookup, though.
Code is written in pure C with heavy use of Unix specific libraries. Because of that I had to use ugly unix-style convention of creating meaningless abbreviations like recvmtr instead of recive_multiple_traceroute. Do not kill me for this.
Running
Program is very simple and works well with clang and gcc compilers. Just make to build it.
Basic execution:
sudo ./traceroute 8.8.8.8
sudo ./traceroute -t 5000 8.8.8.8
sudo ./traceroute -m 5 8.8.8.8
For more info check:
./traceroute --help
