TrACESroute is just another traceroute program. TrACESroute use RAW SOCKET, so it must be run under root account, and because of that, traceroute usually has attached suid bit.
I'll seize the opportunity to point to a traceroute reimlementation I wrote that does not require any s bit. It uses the same Linux 2.4 kernel features as tracepath from ANK's iputils package, but it walks and talks pretty much the same as the original, i.e. I've tried to make it as compatible wrt command line and output format as possible. Oh, and it's a bit faster than the BSD traceroute because it sends out several queries in parallel. You can find this thing at http://verein.lst.de/~okir/traceroute.
