traceforward 0.0.2

Forward Networks traceroute utility

Traceforward

Forward Networks utility that enhances traceroute experience, extending original traceroute output with useful information from Forward.

The tool expects Forward Server data to be present in configuration file:

➜  cat ~/.traceforward/traceForwardConfig.ini
[FORWARD_SERVER]
url = <FORWARD_SERVER_URL>
username = <USERNAME>
password = <USERNAME>
network_id = <NETWORK_ID>

If this file is not present, for example during the first run, the tool will prompt for the information and create config folder and file.
