Hi,
I am connected to a school PC through ssh and I need to do a traceroute to a site... The problem is that when I do traceroute google.com (or any other site) I get something like this:
Code:
traceroute: Warning: google.com has multiple addresses; using 72.14.207.99
traceroute to google.com (72.14.207.99), 30 hops max, 52 byte packets
traceroute: sendto: Operation not permitted
1 traceroute: wrote google.com 52 chars, ret=-1
*traceroute: sendto: Operation not permitted
traceroute: wrote google.com 52 chars, ret=-1
And it goes on like this. I did some search and found out that I need to change the rules in IPTABLES or something (noob here). Whatever I tried with iptables it says this:
Code:
iptables v1.3.6: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
Obviously I can't do anything about this and I'm supposed to do a traceroute and it supposedly should work.
Can anyone help me out?
