Thanks. Actually that is exactly what I intended to do, but it's impossible to compare "something" to "nothing". As I wrote, the ISP is somehow blocking certain ICMP replies (not all of them) and I cannot compare if there is nothing to compare to. In other words, Wireshark did not capture anythin

Yes - I should have mentioned that you can also get a desktop (which I didn't need, but nice to know it's available). ALSO - even if you only use the console, you can also access a GUI file manager in your browser. The instructions on how to activate it were a bit cryptic, but once I figured it ou

Thanks again. As I wrote earlier in reply to Guy Keren, I know that the Python/Scapy code to emulate traceroute does NOT work like the real traceroute, but that is the assignment I give to my students based on the curriculum, so comparing this code to the real traceroute does not really help in th

the fact that traceroute works in this case while your python code doesn't work in this case, suggests there is some at least one scenario that your code doesn't handle, even though it could. your refusal to look at the code of traceroute, and instead insisting of "blaming the middle-man" a

Thanks. I see your point, but in this case it does not help me for the following reasons: 1 - my purpose is to teach how to emmulate traceroute using Python and Scapy, so looking at the "real" traceroute code written in C is not really relevant. 2 - The fact that Python code that worked until rece

That is certainly a possibility, but since the packets and the replies are between me and various routers on the way to the destination (and not directed at 019), I don't see the point.

Thanks. 1 - I will send it dirr=ectly to you - not to the list. 2 - No - that is not the problem since it works when I connect via a hotspot (i.e. a different ISP). When I use my "regular" 019 connection, I get: sudo python tmp1.py www.google.com 1 10.0.0.138 0.047 2 10.64.0.250 0.038 3 10.64.0.
