AntiRoute prevents and logs UDP-based route tracking.
Programs like traceroute utilize the IP protocol's TTL (`time to live') field to elicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to a host, or an ICMP PORT_UNREACH from the host itself.
This is of course impossible if the target ports are open. AntiRoute listens on ports used in UDP-based route tracking and determines the IP address, source port and distance (in hops) of the host from which the trace is being performed.
Tested on:
* Linux 2.2.13
* SunOS 5.6
* Digital UNIX 4.0
* FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE http://www.lovric.net/software/antiroute
