Here's what it looks like: $ traceroute cv6.poinsignon.org traceroute to cv6.poinsignon.org (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::ff), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets 1 gateway 0.795 ms 0.789 ms [...] 8 hello (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::1) 1.431 ms 1.202 ms 9 My.name.is.Louis.Poinsignon (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::2) 1.649 ms 1.274 ms 10 I.am.a.network.and.systems.Engineer (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::3) 1.695 ms 2.090 ms 11 This.is.my.resume.over.traceroute (2001:b…

> Cloudflare.NetworkEngineer Ah, that explains a lot. Not that anyone else couldn't do such a thing, but I feel like even amongst more "hacker" types it takes a relatively specialized background to pull a trick like this (at least statistically; I'm sure there are outliers).

Not sure how he did it, but my first guess would be just a bunch of virtual interfaces on a linux box with a->b->c->d->e->etc routing, and something like the tc command[1] to add enough latency to each one that traceroute sees them all. If he's scripted it to do all the virtual nic creation and dns ptr entries, it would be interesting to see. [1] https://bencane.com/2012/07/16/tc-adding-simulated-network-l...
