tracert - Ultra Hacking Tool

We stumbled on this funny video at work where a young guy basically gave a tutorial about how to use the traceroute tool to "see how many people are on the website, their IP addresses and their connection speed". The funniest thing is, he's on a Windows machine and the traceroute tool is actually called tracert, which he pronounces "tracer-tee".

Needless to say, tracert became a regular office gag where would be run it in a couple terminals if someone left their computers unlocked. We were all hackers.

Check out the original video here. I'd like to hope the guy is a remarkably proficient troll. Seriously.
