I am fairly new to Backtrack so please comment, teach me, ask questions, or whatever you prefer in the comments section below. I am going to try to go down the list of every single Backtrack 4 tool and write a complete description including instructions on how to use the tools. This first article is on 0trace (0trace.sh) which allows you to perform a traceroute from within an established TCP connection such as HTTP which will be demonstrated below.

MPPE stands for Microsoft Point to Point Encryption. MPPE is used to encrypt data traveling over a PPTP, or Point to Point Tunneling Protocol, connection.
When setting up a PPTPÂ connection using DD-WRT firmware on your router there is a blank field to configure MPPE Encryption options in the VPN/PPTP setup. By default the text “mppe required” is typed into this field. You can add a couple other options which include no40, no56, and stateful or stateless. Descriptions of these options are listed below.
