A few new functions introduced with this version as I have been doing more work around websites and internet based services. A interesting note that I found while writing the Trace Route function, the standard method to complete the TTL ICMP echo is using the standard winsocket RAW method, however, I found that the default settings of the Windows firewall would block this traffic and would require the user to allow this traffic for the function to work correctly. This was unexpected especially as this is not required for the MS command line tracert utility and there are no default rules to allow this traffic. After a bit of playing around, I used the IcmpSendEcho API, and these packets bypass the firewall completely and there is no way to block them. I wonder how many other MS APIs bypass the firewall completely and means you can’t block this traffic!
