1423
1424 v3.1a1 Wed May 3 19:21:11 PDT 1995
1425
1426 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
1427 2.3.
1428
1429 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
1430 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
1431 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
1432
1433 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
1434 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
1435 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
1436
1437 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
1438

1440
1441 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
1442
1443 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
1444 "released" one in late 1995.
1445
1446 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
1447
1448 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1449
1450 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
1451 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
1452 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1453
1454 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
1455 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1456
1457 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
1458 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
1459
1460 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
1461 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
1462
1463 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
1464
1465 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
1466
1467 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
1468
1469 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
1470
1471 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
1472
1473 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
1474 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1475
1476 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
1477 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
1478 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
1479 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
1480 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
1481 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
1482 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
1483
1484 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
1485 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1486
1487 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
1488 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
1489 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
1490
1491 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
1492 (brad@fcr.com).
1493
1494 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
1495 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
1496
1497 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
1498 packaged separately).
1499
1500 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1501
1502 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1503 what we expect.
1504
1505 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1506 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1507
1508 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1509 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1510
1511 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1512 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1513
1514 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1515 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1516 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1517 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1518 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1519 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1520 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1521 with "not ip proto 4".)
1522
1523 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1524 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1525
1526 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1527
1528 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1529 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1530 Add && and || operators
1531
1532 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
1533
1534 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1535
1536 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1537
1538 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1539 truncate checks.
1540
1541 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1542 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1543
1544 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1545
1546 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1547 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1548 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1549
1550 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1551 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1552 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1553
1554 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
1555 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
1556
1557 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
1558
1559 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
1560
1561 - Internal release (never publicly exported).
1562
1563 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
1564
1565 - Various byte ordering fixes.
1566
1567 - Add truncation checks.
1568
1569 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
1570
1571 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
1572
1573 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
1574
1575 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
1576 for broadcast nets.
1577
1578 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1579 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1580
1581 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1582
1583 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1584
1585 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1586
1587 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1588 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1589
1590 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1591
1592 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1593
1594 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1595
1596 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1597
1598 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1599 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1600
1601 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1602 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1603 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1604 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1605
1606 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1607 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1608 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1609 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1610
1611 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1612 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1613 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1614
1615 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1616 Jeff Mogul).
1617
1618 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1619
1620 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1621 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
1622 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1623 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1624
1625 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1626
1627 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1628
1629 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1630
1631 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1632 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1633
1634 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1635 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1636
1637 - IP options are now printed.
1638
1639 - RIP packets are now printed.
1640
1641 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1642 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1643 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1644 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1645
1646 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1647 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1648 entry).
1649
1650 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1651 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1652 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1653 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1654 packets.
1655
1656 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1657 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1658 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1659 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1660 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1661 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1662 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1663 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
1664
1665 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
1666
1667 - Initial public release.
