(Sorry, meant to write Traceroute Power in the subject line)
I was a little thrown off by the wording when a friend brought it to my attention, I always just assumed it was for tracing anything interacting with the Matrix (Comlinks, Agents, Pilots, etc.) But then he pointed out interacting with the Matrix also means "Being caught on Video Surveillance" and with that logic asked if he could use Traceroute to find people who had walked in front of a security camera anywhere in the world?
(Ex. He has some data on there Johnson, and wants to see where he goes or where he lives..... So he wants to see what routes the Johnson usually takes to guess where his home is by seeing what Video Cameras on the street he walks across)
As a side question, does this vague term also mean physically interacting with things connected to the Matrix without using a Comlink? (ex. You shut down a node via destroying the Drone that the node was hosted in, Someone is recording your voice with some spy gadget that's hooked up to a comlink, etc.)
