  • scapy library
  • ipwhois library

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/AIM1rage/Traceroute.git
  1. Install the required dependencies:
pip install scapy
pip install ipwhois

Usage

python traceroute.py [-h] [-src SRC] [-seq SEQ] [-ttl TTL] [-c C] [-d D] [-t T] [-s S] host

Perform a traceroute to a specified host.

Positional Arguments:

  • host - The IP address or domain name to trace the route to.

Optional Arguments:

  • -h, --help - Show the help message and exit.
  • -src - Source address (default: [your local address])
  • -seq SEQ - Additional sequence number (default: 42).
  • -ttl TTL - Maximum time-to-live value (default: 30).
  • -c C - Requests count (default: 3).
  • -d D - Delay between requests in seconds (default: 0).
