Tcproute is a tcp based traceroute console program for Windows. It uses the Pcap.Net .NET wrapper for WinPcap. Some code has been sourced from StackOverflow: here and here. I believe all the StackOverflow stuff defaults to CC-Attribution-Share-Alike, so feel free to use my modifications under that license.
I have tested tcproute under Windows XP and Windows 8. I'm assuming it will work on the intermediary versions provided the requirements are met - but with all the dependencies it may be hit and miss. Let me know. Additionally - it works fine under VMWare on my Mac, but screws up under my VirtualBox installation (in particular, it seems that VirtualBox's networking is rewriting my packets and losing the TTL settings. This might just be my setup rather than a general issue.) I also have reports that it misbehaves under KVM, but do not have an installation of that here to check.
Tcproute functions by trying to connect to a specified TCP port, starting with a packet TTL of 1 and incrementing upward until it successfully reaches the target.
Currently very beta. Feedback welcome!
