I’m sure I’d used it before, maybe it was left behind by a library upgrade. I can’t install it now because of an obsolete repo. It’s time to wipe and replace my linux system. My Macbook has traceroute, bad.horse worked fine, and we just viewed Dr. Horrible again.

Well, if it's a desktop distro it's not always installed (like kubuntu)   just do 
sudo apt-get install traceroute

or 
yum install traceroute

(or whatever package system your distro uses :)

I just tried it. It's very much alive and well. Quite humorous. Perhaps your isp is proxying / caching you in some capacity ??

Looks like someone took it down, but dead.horse resolves to a service provider (CariNet, Inc) hosted on cox's network now.  They're just not allowing it.  Interesting, yesterday it was egressing to hurricane electric, to atlantic metro's DC in NY.

Something tells me someone didn't like the attention and moved it (or killed it).

Lol. That's awesome.

This didn't work for me at all from my home box--something in Cox's network is eating all the packets after hop 11.  And from my VPS, I had to do "traceroute -m 43 bad.horse" to see all of it, because there are a lot of hops.  But yeah... someone went to some effort to do that, and it's kind of nifty. (https://signed.bad.horse/ has an SSL error on
firefox 38.2.1, though, which is annoying....)
