traceroute

Multi-source traceroute with geolocation information. Demo: IP Address Lookup (under "Traceroute" tab)

Using output from traceroute.py to plot hops on Google Map

Installation

Save traceroute.py into a directory with its path stored in your PYTHONPATH environment variable.

Usage

Try the following from your Python interpreter:

>>> from traceroute import Traceroute
>>> traceroute = Traceroute("8.8.8.8")
>>> hops = traceroute.traceroute()
>>> hops

You can also run the script directly by passing in the --ip_address option:

$ python traceroute.py --help
Usage: traceroute.py --ip_address=IP_ADDRESS

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i IP_ADDRESS, --ip_address=IP_ADDRESS
                        IP address of destination host (default: 8.8.8.8)
  -j JSON_FILE, --json_file=JSON_FILE
                        List of sources in JSON file (default: sources.json)
  -c COUNTRY, --country=COUNTRY
                        Traceroute will be initiated from this country; choose
                        'LO' for localhost to run traceroute locally, 'AU' for
                        Australia, 'CH' for Switzerland, 'JP' for Japan, 'RU'
                        for Russia, 'UK' for United Kingdom or 'US' for United
                        States (default: US)
  -t TMP_DIR, --tmp_dir=TMP_DIR
                        Temporary directory to store downloaded traceroute
                        results (default: /tmp)
  -n, --no_geo          No geolocation data (default: False)
  -s TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT
