NeoTrace is a diagnostic and investigative tool. It traces the network path across the Internet from the host system to a target system anywhere on the Internet. Automatic retrieval of data includes registration details for the owner of each computer on the route (address, phone, email address) and the network each node IP is registered to. Easy to read views of the data include a world map showing the locations of nodes along the route, a graph showing the relative response time of each node along the path, a simple listing and an abstract representation of the path and node types along the route. NeoTrace has been popular with home enthusiasts for diagnosing connection problems. Many Internet Service Providers recommend NeoTrace to their customers and also use it themselves. By providing their users with NeoTrace many organizations have found they are able to decrease the number of help desk calls they handle related to connection problems. It is also used by law enforcement professionals worldwide, including US Customs and NATO, and is taught in courses at the FBI Academy and in Internet Investigator training for officers in the state of California. It has been shown on national TV in conjunction with stories on law enforcement efforts to track down pedophiles and other criminals. NeoTrace is the quickest way to get an overview of a connection and through its combination of ease of use and powerful and automatic data retrieval it is a favored tool of both novices and seasoned professionals.
