466 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
467
468 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
469
470 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
471 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
472 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
473 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
474 first block N times).
475
476 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
477 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

562 types.
563
564 - Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
565

595 (cslater@imatek.com).
596
597 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
598
599 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
600 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
601
602 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
603 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
604
605 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
606

642 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
643
644 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning

651
652 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
653
654 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
655 "released" one in late 1995.
656
657 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
658
659 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
660
661 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
662 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
663 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
664
665 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
666 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
667
668 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
669 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
670
671 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
672 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
673
674 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
675
676 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
677
678 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
679
680 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
681
682 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
683
684 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
685 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
686
687 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
688 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
689 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
690 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
691 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
692 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
693 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
694
695 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
696 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
697
698 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
699 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
700 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
701
702 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
703 (brad@fcr.com).
704
705 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
706 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
707
708 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
709 packaged separately).
710
711 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
712
713 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
714 what we expect.
715
716 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
717 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
718
719 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
720 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
721
722 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
723 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
724
725 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
726 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
727 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
728 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
729 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
730 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
731 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
732 with "not ip proto 4".)
733
734 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
735 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
736
737 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
738
739 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
740 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
741 Add && and || operators
742
743 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
744
745 - Fix bug with -c flag.
746
747 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
748
749 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
750 truncate checks.
751
752 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
753 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
754
755 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
756
757 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
758 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
759 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
760
761 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
762 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
763 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
764
765 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
766 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
767
768 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
769
770 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
771
772 - Internal release (never publically exported).
773
774 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
775
776 - Various byte ordering fixes.
777
778 - Add truncation checks.
779
780 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
781
782 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
783
784 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
785
786 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
787 for broadcast nets.
788
789 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
790 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
791
792 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
793
794 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
795
796 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
797
798 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
799 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
800
801 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
802
803 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
804
805 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
806
807 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
808
809 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
810 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
811
812 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
813 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
814 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
815 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
816
817 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
818 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
819 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
820 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
821
822 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
823 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
824 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
825
826 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
827 Jeff Mogul).
828
829 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
830
831 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
832 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
833 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
834 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
835
836 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
837
838 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
839
840 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
841
842 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
843 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
844
845 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
846 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
847
848 - IP options are now printed.
849
850 - RIP packets are now printed.
851
852 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
853 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
854 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
855 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
856
857 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
858 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
859 entry).
860
861 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
862 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
863 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
864 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
865 packets.
866
867 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
868 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
869 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
870 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
871 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
872 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
873 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
874 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
875
876 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
877
878 - Initial public release.
