Traceroute.pl versions earlier than 5.0 have XSS vulnerability. It has been fixed. Now needs to be downloaded and the new version installed I have written a script (node-contacts.pl) to read the list of landmarks created by reflector.cgi then use an updated version of dbprac.pl to get contacts and dataserver from the database.
