How to get a pcap file with traceroute icmp type 30


I'm writing a program to analyze network traffic.

Therefore I want to check the ICMP Type 30 (traceroute). I can't find a pcap file for this case. If I traceroute some website with cmd (traceroute stackoverflow.com), I get only ICMP type 0, 3, 8 and 11.

How can I get a pcap file with traceroute type 30?


Solution

  • ICMP Type 30 is deprecated.

    Traceroute programs send either ICMP echo requests (type 8) or UDP packets. The packets are sent with low TTL values, triggering routers to respond with ICMP type 11 (Time Exceeded) packets.
