Hi,

I want to write a small tcp traceroute script. I works, but how
can I get the IP of the hop that send 'no route to host'?

Result:
python tmp/tcptraceroute.py a.b.c.d 80
ttl=01: (113, 'No route to host')
ttl=02: (113, 'No route to host')
ttl=03: (113, 'No route to host')
ttl=04: timed out
ttl=05: timed out
ttl=06: timed out
ttl=07: timed out
ttl=08: timed out
ttl=09: OK


#!/usr/bin/env python
# tcptraceroute.py
# This script is in the public domain

import os
import sys
import struct
import socket

def usage():
    print '''Usage: %s host port
Tries to connect to host at TCP port with increasing TTL (Time to live).
''' % os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])

def main():
    if not len(sys.argv)==3:
        usage()
        sys.exit(1)
    ttl=1
    host, port = sys.argv[1:]
    port=int(port)
    for ttl in range(1, 30):
        s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        s.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_IP, socket.IP_TTL, struct.pack('I', ttl))
        s.settimeout(2)
        try:
            s.connect((host, port))
        except (socket.error, socket.timeout), err:
            print 'ttl=%02d: %s' % (ttl, err)
            s.close()
            continue
        except KeyboardInterrupt:
            print 'ttl=%02d (KeyboardInterrupt)' % ttl
            break
        print 'ttl=%02d: OK' % (ttl)
        break

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()
