I believe, but am willing to be shot down in flames if I'm wrong that
Traceroute uses different port numbers to ICMP. I've allowed ICMP through
firewalls before, then tried to traceroute and the trace has been dropped.
The destination port being dropped was logged as something like 34543 and
incremented by one for each hop (thats not the exact number but it's in that
order-5 figures).
If you try an extended trace the default port number (last requirement) is
around that mark too.
I know how a ping works (increasing TTL for each hop, but on a fixed port)
but not sure at all of trace route. Is there any way to fix the traceroute
port, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Been wondering about this for a while. Anybody care to put me out of my
misery. (Or do I take another side track and find out myself)
Cheers,
Gaz
