## 2. Perform Network Tracerouting in Windows and Linux Machines The route is the path that the network packet traverses between the source and destination. Network tracerouting is a process of identifying the path and hosts lying between the source and destination. Network tracerouting provides critical information such as the IP address of the hosts lying between the source and destination, which enables you to map the network topology of the organization. ```sh tracert certifiedhacker.com ```

Run **tracert /?** command to view the different options for the command, as shown in the screenshot.

Run **tracert -h 5 [www.certifiedhacker.com](http://www.certifiedhacker.com)** command to perform the trace, but with only 5 maximum hops allowed. ``` tracert -h 5 certifiedhacker.com ``` Maximum five hops.

### **Linux Trace route** ``` traceroute ethicalhacker.com ```

## 3. Advanced Network tracing with path analyzer pro ``` https://path-analyzer-pro.software.informer.com/2.7/ ``` You can also use other traceroute tools such as **PingPlotter** (), **Traceroute NG** (), etc. to extract additional network information of the target organization. {% embed url="" %}
