A little while ago matt posted a link about this traceroute app. the link has expired, but the company is still there and, presumably, still sells the product. yet, there is a free version available. very cool visual packet/hop/latency program, lets you zoom in on the maps but i suspect they provide less detail than the neotrace pay version.
Speaking of graphical net tools, Webtracer, still beta software, shows a 3-D, node-and-line version of the structure of a given site. The program, something between net-art and utilities, is only for Windows, but it can still make some curious images.
Note: be careful what url you enter in the program --it will scan for links and retrieve for further scanning even .zip's!

Neoworx used to make a neat program called HackTracer or similar which used the same technology as Neotrace, but I think they've changed the name. I had it installed on my machine and must say it's very entertaining to see a screen pop up saying that someone is portscanning, then another pop-up tracing the source of the scan on a graphical map. Sci-Fi meets reality?
