Some cool visual traceroute sites/mashups
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/10/02
It is always cool to see some mashups: apart from great examples, they also make for some good research material.
- Traceroute.V – CodeFromThe70s.org.
(next to JavaScript, it also requires Java. An explanation how it works reveals it is using a quite old IP->geolocation DB) - Email graphic traceroute.
(parses email headers to traceroute the SMTP route the email took) - Insert an url (example: www.parsec.it) and locate where the server is (webserver, mailserver,…) on Google Maps.
(Whereis translates an IP address or DNS address to a geolocation on Google maps) - Google Maps Hacks.
(uses the Whereis to map the output of a traceroute/tracert command into a Google map) - IP Address Lookup, Reverse IP Lookup and RBL Lookup.
(maps IP address or DNS address to Google maps) - Visual Trace Route Tool – Find, Track, and Map the Route to an IP Address.
(traces either from the server, or through a proxy)
