Yes, I would assume it traces to the IP of the server that started the process.

I think it actually traces the process back the the gateway currently running the process no matter how many Ip changes that gateway makes.

The tracer, if successful, will give the IP of the gateway that started the process. The process that is to be traced has to be active, or else the trace will fail. Regardless of any IP Changes on the starter of the process, the trace, when successful will lead to the current IP of the starter of the process.

Is there a timer between attempts like the VI or can you run four or five traces on one process to try and find the IP?

You can run several traces on the same process, it all depends on the available hardware and it costs 20 AP to complete a trace.

Will it still give results on a completed or killed process?  If so then you have taken away the only defense against it unless you allow IP Cloaker to guard against it.

Yes, it appears there are no defenses against the process tracer.  Maybe another use for the rarely used IP cloaker is in order.

Give a % chance based on the tracer version versus the cloaker version for the tracer to beat out, otherwise the IP is not found...

Then you have to decide whether or not you want to have it inform that the user is using a cloaker or just say it failed.  I would say inform they are using a cloaker.

I agree with making a little more defense against said process tracer but instead of the IP cloaker which is for hiding your tracks hoping from Gateway to Gateway I would say using the equally rarely used Scan Blocker would be a better choice for a defense against the tracer.

I agree with Ginjitsu. Scan blocker is the right choice for this ... However it should not completely block the possibility, only lower the %.
