Why this tool?
0trace is a reconnaissance tool to perform so-called hop enumeration within an established TCP connection. The goal is to allow traceroute-like functionality, yet in an alternative way. It can be used to bypass firewall rules. Tools like 0trace are typically used during pentesting assignments.
How it works
This tool works by leveraging an existing TCP session for a protocol like HTTP. As the network or firewall device already allowed the connection, this reuse of the connection is typically not detected.
Usage and audience
0trace is commonly used for bypassing firewall rules, bypassing security measures, or penetration testing. Target users for this tool are pentesters and security professionals.
