traceroute
traceroute
is a cross-platform python package for retrieving
traceroute information. Under the hood, it wraps the native
traceroute command of the operating system:
- windows -
tracert
- linux/mac -
traceroute
The benefit to this method is that traceroute
can
be used without root permissions, unlike the many python
traceroute implementations that use raw sockets, thus
necessitating root or admin privileges.
