620 selective acknowledgment case.
622 - Fixed an endian bug in the ospf printer. Thanks to Jeffrey C Honig
625 - Fix rip printer to handle 4.4 BSD sockaddr struct which only uses one

638 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
641 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
642 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
643 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
645 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning

649 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
651 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
653 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
655 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
656 "released" one in late 1995.
658 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
660 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
662 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
663 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
664 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
666 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
667 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).

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