3D TraceRoute is an all-in-one networking tool which has traceroute, whois, ping, nslookup, server header analyser, portscanner, telnet client and hell lot of tools coupled together in a single package.
This is a free portable tool and can run on almost any Windows operating systems (Pro commercial version with enhanced is also available)
Here I’ve documented few of the main features of the free version of this tool; download and experiment with 3D traceroute to get the complete picture of it.
Note: This article is targeted for the readers who have basic understanding or experience with using various networking tools.
Main Window:
To trace the route to the sever, we just have to enter the target’s URL and click on the Trace Button. The 3D Trace View is continuosly refreshed and is displayed on the main window. We have options to zoom, rotate and move around the display as per our requirement.

Whois Details Window :
We can view the query options in the ‘Query’ navigation present in the left handside bar. Just click on the query to obtain the whois details of the server.
Whois Details Window
HTTP Spy :
One cool feature in this app is HTTP Spy which allows us to quickly obtain the details like name and version of the Server in which this target application is hosted. This is obtained by analysing the Response headers of the Request message sent by the server.

Email Header Analysis :
To trace down the source or details of the email message we have received we should see the raw email message and manually go through it. For example in Gmail we have an Option ‘show original’ to view the raw message. 3D TraceRoute has a email header analyzer which process the raw data and displays the IP address of the sender and whether it has been listed as Spam before.
