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

Image
 While trying to run gemini cli on my windows linux subsystem, i bump into this error here - "/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@google/gemini-cli/node_modules/undici/lib/web/webidl/index.js:512 webidl.is.File = webidl.util.MakeTypeAssertion(File)"  "ReferenceError: File is not defined" In Node.js, there’s no built-in File (until very recent Node 20+ with experimental WHATWG APIs). So, unless polyfilled, File is undefined, leading to the ReferenceError. And to resolve this, I had to upgrade to node 22 (might work for node 20) and then I was able to run it.

vllm : Failed to infer device type

Trying to run vllm without gpu will typicaly lands you into this issue. To resolve this issue: we can use set these both. Setting one does not work for me. So i had to configure both settings below:- 1.  environment variable CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES = "" 2. in the command line, change to use device cpu and remove  tensor-parallel-size. For example, python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --port 8080 --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 --device cpu --trust-remote-code --max-model-len 4096" References https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/getting_started/troubleshooting.html#failed-to-infer-device-type
