The lower level test helpers require the use of Scapy and so Scapy is currently being included into ooni-backend. This will facilitate the implementation of a reverse traceroute helper.

A draft specification for this test exists at https://github.com/irl/ooni-spec/blob/master/test-helpers/th-006-reverse-traceroute.md.

It makes sense to have this as a "web service" to ensure it works in as many environments as possible (where other TCP ports/protocols may get blocked). As such, this is blocked by modifications waiting for the SimpleHTTPChannel protocol used by the test helper. See #14355 (closed).

For reporting, it would be useful to use the same format as RIPE Atlas use for their traceroute data to allow for future collaboration between these projects. Documentation on that schema is available at:

https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/data_struct/#v4610_traceroute

Helper specification has now been merged into the ooni-spec repository:

@irl super quick!

You are correct, the specification is now merged.

It is extremely unlikely in current circumstances that I will ever see time to implement this. Disowning the bug.
