scapy traceroute



Traceroute often used to discover path to destination when packets hops from router to router.  It sends a short live packet out and then waits for ICMP response. Repeating and incrementing TTL each time until a destination is reached.

Traceroute comes in different flavours :

a) Tcp trace route - Is becoming more popular because TCP are not block by network administrator. Sometimes when UDP used, it ends up to firewall and stops there. If TCP is used, it would make a step further.

b) Intrace - Still reading up on this.

c) Traceroute - normally traceroute uses UDP on Linux and ICMP on Windows.

gemini cli getting file not defined error

llama cpp running it in google colab

Image
There are 2 options to do this in Google  colab.  Option 1 (Easiest)  With this option, we can just install the relevant package and then run the model.  First we need to install the required packages using the following command:-  ! pip install -U llama-cpp-python Next,  we will try to get the model using the following command # !pip install llama-cpp-python from llama_cpp import Llama llm = Llama.from_pretrained(   repo_id= "unsloth/Qwen3-0.6B-GGUF" ,   filename= "Qwen3-0.6B-IQ4_NL.gguf" , ) We can see the model being downloaded:- And then we will run the following command to test this model llm.create_chat_completion(   messages = [     {       "role" : "user" ,       "content" : "What is the capital of France?"     }   ] ) And the output will look something like this:-  Option 2 llama.cpp is a powerful inference engine and if you wanted to get it running in google colab, you co...
