We stumbled on this funny video at work where a young guy basically gave a tutorial about how to use
the traceroute
tool to "see how many people are on the website, their IP addresses and their connection
speed". The funniest thing is, he's on a Windows machine and the traceroute tool is actually called
tracert
, which he pronounces "tracer-tee".
Needless to say, tracert
became a regular office gag where would be run it in a couple terminals if
someone left their computers unlocked. We were all hackers.
Check out the original video here. I'd like to hope the guy is a remarkably proficient troll. Seriously.
