Came across this while looking for some new tracert alternatives, also has WhoIS.
A Java based app with a windows executable (adding packet sniffer w/ pcap install) and a universal zip file. Currently at version 1.71. I ran the universal version and I didn't see the packet sniffer option listed.
From the home page:
Traceroute feature that allows to see on a World 3D map what path the data is taking to go from your computer to the target server.
Home page: https://visualtraceroute.net/
Release Notes/Changelog at bottom of this page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openvisualtrace/files
Limitations, Known issues :
- Systems that don't have a graphic card/drivers that supports required OpenGL features will not be able to use the 3D map
- System not correctly setup in term of network/privileges/OS will not be able to use the embedded trace route implementation and will default to the OS traceroute implementation
Installation and execution procedure, (Wind) if using the executable: http://visualtraceroute.net/installation
License: GNU GPL v3.0 --> https://visualtraceroute.net/license
Extraction: Just extract the zip file (35.5MB).
If you don't have Java installed but use jPortable just create a .bat file with the following --- Works for me when extracted into PortableApps directory.
Code: Select all
