+cat << EOF
+tcptraceroute is a traceroute implementation using TCP packets.
+
+The more traditional traceroute(8) sends out either UDP or ICMP ECHO packets
+with a TTL of one, and increments the TTL until the destination has been
+reached. By printing the gateways that generate ICMP time exceeded messages
+along the way, it is able to determine the path packets are taking to reach
+the destination.
+
+The problem is that with the widespread use of firewalls on the modern
+Internet, many of the packets that traceroute(8) sends out end up being
+filtered, making it impossible to completely trace the path to the
+destination. However, in many cases, these firewalls will permit inbound
+TCP packets to specific ports that hosts sitting behind the firewall are
+listening for connections on. By sending out TCP SYN packets instead of
+UDP or ICMP ECHO packets, tcptraceroute is able to bypass the most common
+firewall filters.
