`traceroute`

Pack: hackertarget · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/hackertarget/mcp

“Traceroute to [host]” / “what route does traffic take to [X]” / “how many hops to [address]” — traceroute via HackerTarget, listing the routers between HackerTarget’s probe host and the target. The path is measured from their network, not yours. REQUIRES AN API KEY: HackerTarget gates this endpoint, and the keyless tier answers “error valid key required” (verified 2026-09-16).
