How to Build a Traceroute Tool in Python (Sockets & ICMP)

In this video, I build a simple traceroute tool from scratch in Python using raw sockets and ICMP packets.

We’ll go step by step through:
• How traceroute actually works
• TTL (Time To Live) explained
• ICMP “Time Exceeded” messages
• Using Python sockets for low-level networking
• Sending and receiving packets manually
• Building a working traceroute clone

If you want to understand networking beyond tutorials and frameworks, this is a great hands-on project.

Code + concepts included throughout the video.
