Bad Apple but It's Traceroute
3 days ago
- The author created a traceroute-based display of the Bad Apple music video by injecting fake hops using nftables' numgen counter.
- The hack requires disabling the kernel's ICMPv6 rate limit and patching mtr to show only one address per hop.
- Video frames were resampled to 8 fps, scaled to 30x11 pixels, and converted to an nftables ruleset (over 1 MB) to generate appropriate ICMPv6 responses.
- This project is part of the tradition of displaying Bad Apple on unconventional 'displays', similar to running Doom on new hardware.
