aperçu
Middlebox detection tool
historique
Tracebox is a network-diagnostics CLI for detecting middleboxes on an Internet path. Its README describes it as traceroute-like, but focused on identifying packet modifications by comparing probes with ICMP replies.
Tracebox comes from the research and measurement side of networking. The project page explains that it detects middleboxes by using ICMP replies to identify changes in packets, relying on the common behavior of devices that return more of the original datagram than the minimum described by RFC 792.
The GitHub repository was created in 2013, with public release metadata from v0.3 in May 2015 through v0.4.4 in January 2018. The source tree includes C and C++ implementation code, Lua support, manual pages, and documentation.
Tracebox's own README documents Homebrew installation for macOS, Linux builds from autotools dependencies, an OpenWRT package feed, and an Android build script for rooted phones. The OpenWRT section is explicitly marked unmaintained, which fits a project that was useful to network researchers and operators but did not become a constantly refreshed mainstream CLI.
Users run `tracebox` or `luatracebox` to probe a path and inspect hop-by-hop packet modifications. The README documents JSON output via `-j`, verbose modification details, hop data, ICMP extensions, additions, deletions, and modifications, making it scriptable for measurement workflows.
In package-manager culture, Tracebox is a classic specialist network tool: packaged in Homebrew and Nix, rooted in Unix build conventions, and interesting because it extends the familiar traceroute mental model into middlebox detection and JSON-producing measurement.
