# Traceroute

*Traceroute* tracks the route packets take across an IP network on their way to a given host. It utilizes the IP protocol's time to live (TTL) field and attempts to elicit an **ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED** response from each gateway along the path to the host.

## Example

![Example](assets/example.gif)

Before running the application, you must install [Golang 1.19+](https://go.dev/dl/) and and enter the following command:

```bash

$ go get ./...

```

**Example of usage:**

```bash

$ sudo go run cmd/main.go google.com

```

## Available commands

If you want to get the full list of available flags, you can get them by using the flag `--help`

```bash

$ go run cmd/main.go --help

usage: main []  []

Flags:

      --help         Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).

  -M, --first_ttl=1  Set the initial time-to-live value used in outgoing probe packets.

  -m, --max_ttl=30   Specifies the maximum number of hops (max time-to-live value) traceroute will probe.

  -w, --wait=50      Set the time (in ms) to wait for a response to a probe.

  -p, --port=33434   Port to connect.

  -n, --onlyip       Print hop addresses numerically rather than symbolically and numerically (saves a nameserver address-to-name lookup for each gateway

                     found on the path).

  -q, --nqueries=3   Set the number of probes per ttl to nqueries.

  -P, --proto="UDP"  Send packets of specified IP protocol. The currently supported protocols are: UDP (by default) and ICMP.

      --version      Show application version.

Args:

            The required parameter is the name of the destination host.

  []  Size of sending packet.
