cjdns-traceroute(1) -- trace cjdns packet routing

SYNOPSIS

cjdns-traceroute

DESCRIPTION

Because cjdns is end to end encrypted, the standard traceroute always shows a direct connection. Cjdns-traceroute queries cjdroute to discover what route would be used to send a packet to the destination IP. Note that just as with the standard traceroute, there is no guarantee that that precise route will actually be used with the next packet.

Cjdns-traceroute requires admin privilege. The cjdnsadmin lib will try to read /etc/cjdroute.conf for the admin password. This will normally succeed only for root. Otherwise, it tries ~/.cjdnsadmin

USAGE

FILES

~/.cjdnsadmin /etc/cjdroute.conf

BUGS

Cjdns-traceroute throws an ugly exception if you forget to pass an IP or have the wrong admin password.
