In plain words
Asroute is a tool that visualizes the network paths taken by traceroute commands. It shows users the unique routes their data travels across the internet when connecting to different destinations. The tool is designed for anyone curious about how network traffic is routed, from casual learners to technical users wanting to understand internet infrastructure. It's available as an open-source project on GitHub.

Traceroute Visualizer2025 · kriztalz.sh · ▲98Hey everyone, I've made this website that I hope can help some people. The original inspiration comes from being tired of having a specific site (and finding it!!) that serves my needs for a single purpose. Straight forward tools, no fuss. The objective is to be fully in-browser, no login and if possible without contacting a remote server.

IP Guide – Info on IP addresses, Networks, and ASNs2023 · ip.guide · ▲363Hey all, wanted to share my recent weekend hack project. I wanted to improve upon the existing space for looking up information about IP addresses and ASNs. The backend is written in Rust and pulls BGP data every 8 hours from the RIPE RIS project to build up a routing table and also adds geolocation information. The frontend is using React and Tailwind. Would love any feedback or suggestions on what to improve.

Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time.
