Is it possible to do a traceroute in the browser?

Question

I\'m looking for a way to do a traceroute client-side, i.e. in a browser.

As far as I know, it\'s not possible to send ICMP, UDP or TCP packets with arbitrary TTL values

Answer 1

You don't need to create an applet and sign it! It's possible to use java from javascript. I made a script for doing a traceroute with ActiveX or Java.

I don't see any security warnings on OS X. Try it on Windows and Linux and tell me what happens :-)

UPD: seems like it only works in Firefox
