Task 3 Reflection
The trace route program is useful to help the user locate the IP address of certain networks or the location of actual sites. This technique allows us to easily access locations to match along with actual websites as well as access their originators and other useful and relevant information.
Task 4 Challenge
Some possible issues that could arise from use of programs such as traceroute is the ability for hackers to have access to your IP address and steal information. IP addressing also has a WhoIs function that can locate people that relate to websites. Email can also be traced and give away ample information. It is disputable that trace routing can be used in multiple purposes but it is risky considering the amount of technical details that it has the potential to reveal to the public.
