Is pattern-matching and code conversion the best way to find the locations of Internet-connected machines?
Probably not — I originally started the project when I noticed several machine names had “obvious” cities embedded in them. I tried to find a quick and dirty way to convert these machine names to locations, and this is what I came up with. The method I use turns out to be remarkably easy-to-use (for example “DFW” means Dallas, Texas, USA, regardless of which ISP uses it– so I don’t need a seperate set of entries for each ISP), but is probably non-optimal in other ways. I’d be interested in hearing about other ways to do this. 1.9. Whose traceroute servers do you use? I use publically available traceroute servers only. I started with the Boardwatch Traceroute Server Index (no longer available online), and omitted those servers that were down or would only traceroute to a specific IP address. I also omitted those servers that didn’t support the ISINDEX/GET protocol. Currently, my program only supports traceroute servers that can be accessed using a URL followed by a question mark follo
