Traceroute: An attacker may attempt to conceal his or her identity by re-routing packets through a number of different hosts.
Traceroute provides information on each gateway an IP packet passes through to get to a destination. As input, the command needs the hostname or IP address of the destination system. It then sends these IP packets from the firewall to that address. As output, it lists the hostnames and IP addresses of each system the packets were handed off to and how long it took to send each packet back and forth.
This option is equivalent to entering the following UNIX command:
/usr/sbin/traceroute -m 50 -p 33500 ipaddress
