0trace Error In Backtrack 5: 0trace.sh Probe Rejected By Target
Previously I wrote a brief article on 0trace in Backtrack 4 which can be located here however in the process of writing an updated article for Backtrack 5 I noticed that 0trace was no longer working. Every single time I would attempt to run an accurate trace through a firewall the results would come back empty and display “Probe rejected by target.” At first I was thinking maybe companies have really tightened down their firewalls however that didn’t make any sense because of how 0trace works using a standard port such as port 80 to allow traffic to pass because the servers function is to serve web pages. Below I describe the error in more detail and how you can resolve it.
