Traceroute
Trace-routing a machine provides information concerning the topology of the
network. It tells you whether you can reach a host and whether that host can
answer, and also the route that packets take to reach the host. This information
may allow an intruder to deduce trusted routers and other network information.
The scan engine determines the routing of packets through the target machine.
Risk: Low
Fix: Prevent or limit external tracerouting into internal networks via packet
filtering.
