# fakeroute ### Make your machine appears to be anywhere on the internet in a traceroute ## Install Instructions tar -xf fakeroute-0.2.tar.gz cd fakeroute-0.2 ./configure make make install ## Usage To use fakeroute, you must define a route file with your fake route. The file should be a newline separated list of dotted quad IP addresses with your IP address last. For example, 10.0.0.34 could have a route.conf that looks like: 216.102.187.130 165.87.161.74 4.24.4.146 4.0.1.122 198.137.241.43 198.116.142.34 63.199.8.242 ...be careful not to include any leading or trailing blank newlines. Optionally, you could include any IP address last that you wish to be the destination of the remote traceroute. The above route will stop at: "adsl-63-199-8-242.carcionelaw.com" as if it were the traceroute destination: traceroute to localhost (127.0.0.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 core4-g3-0.snfc21.pbi.net (216.102.187.130) 0.324 ms 0.247 ms 0.162 ms 2 sfra1sr3-so-1-1-1-0.ca.us.prserv.net (165.87.161.74) 0.164 ms 0.265 ms 0.159 ms 3 p3-0.washdc3-br2.bbnplanet.net (4.24.4.146) 0.166 ms 0.219 ms 0.156 ms 4 p5-0.vienna1-nbr2.bbnplanet.net (4.0.1.122) 0.162 ms 0.243 ms 0.170 ms 5 wh243.eop.gov (198.137.241.43) 0.162 ms 0.255 ms 0.159 ms 6 foundation.hq.nasa.gov (198.116.142.34) 0.168 ms 0.281 ms 0.164 ms 7 adsl-63-199-8-242.carcionelaw.com (63.199.8.242) 0.182 ms 0.240 ms 0.156 ms To run, simply execute `fakeroute -f `. Note that fakeroute needs to bind raw sockets, so either as root or with the `CAP_NET_RAW` capability. To test your configuration, just traceroute to localhost. ## Bugs Currently, fakeroute only works for UDP-based (ie: default unix) traceroute. It does not work for unix traceroute with the -I option, or windows tracert. Hopefully support for ICMP-based traceroute will come in a later version. ## Copyright Copyright © 2023, Matt Rosenfeld, Michele Guerini Rocco All rights reserved.
