tcptraceroute is a traceroute implementation using TCP packets.
|
|
|
|
The more traditional traceroute(8) sends out either UDP or ICMP ECHO packets
|
|
with a TTL of one, and increments the TTL until the destination has been
|
|
reached. By printing the gateways that generate ICMP time exceeded messages
|
|
along the way, it is able to determine the path packets are taking to reach the
|
|
destination.
|
|
|
|
The problem is that with the widespread use of firewalls on the modern Internet,
|
|
many of the packets that traceroute(8) sends out end up being filtered, making
|
|
it impossible to completely trace the path to the destination. However, in many
|
|
cases, these firewalls will permit inbound TCP packets to specific ports that
|
|
hosts sitting behind the firewall are listening for connections on. By sending
|
|
out TCP SYN packets instead of UDP or ICMP ECHO packets, tcptraceroute is able
|
|
to bypass the most common firewall filters.
