Beware of Script Kiddies

Someone learns about the tracert command and sees who is connected to Google.

btw. For people who don't have a tech background, what tracert actually is, is 'trace route' .

It's actually showing the route that data takes from your pc to the domain/server you enter.

Those IPs it's showing are the various servers it going through (DNS servers etc.) and the time is just how long it took to get to each one, therefore showing you where the slowest parts of the route the data takes to get to a given server.

The ones that show no time are ones that are disallowing the request, purely a security thing on their end (I think that's why anyway).

Just for those that see us ridiculing this nimrod and wondering why we are

well, the data doesn't go through a dns server for sure
dns is done as the first step to resolve the domain name to ip address before any data even can be transmited
but yea, correct apart from that

Really? Because I would say it's the more local and local DNS Servers... The main DNS server points it at the address it has, which may be a high level handler, which then takes the request and passes it to the next one down the line which knows the more refined collection of servers, which then takes it and so on until it gets to an actual machine which handles the data request.
