486 - Fix some signed problems in the nfs printer. As reported by David
487 Sacerdote (davids@silence.secnet.com)
488
489 - Detect group wheel and use it as the default since BSD/OS' install
490 can't hack numeric groups. Reported by David Sacerdote.
491
492 - AIX needs special loader options. Thanks to Jonathan I. Kamens
493 (jik@cam.ov.com)

542 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
543 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
544 first block N times).
545
546 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
547 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

632 types.
633
634 - Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
635
636 - Added T/TCP options printing. As suggested by Richard Stevens

665 (cslater@imatek.com).
666
667 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
668
669 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
670 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
671
672 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
673 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).

675 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
676
677 - Add suport for Kerberos 4 thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).

706
707 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
708 2.3.
709
710 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
711 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
712 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
713
714 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
715 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
716 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
717
718 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
719

721
722 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
723
724 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
725 "released" one in late 1995.
726
727 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
728
729 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
730
731 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
732 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
733 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
734
735 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
736 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
737
738 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
739 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
740
741 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
742 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
743
744 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
745
746 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
747
748 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
749
750 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
751
752 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
753
754 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
755 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
756
757 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
758 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
759 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
760 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
761 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
762 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
763 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
764
765 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
766 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
767
768 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
769 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
770 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
771
772 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
773 (brad@fcr.com).
774
775 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
776 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
777
778 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
779 packaged separately).
780
781 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
782
783 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
784 what we expect.
785
786 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
787 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
788
789 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
790 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
791
792 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
793 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
794
795 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
796 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
797 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
798 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
799 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
800 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
801 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
802 with "not ip proto 4".)
803
804 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
805 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
806
807 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
808
809 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
810 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
811 Add && and || operators
812
813 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
814
815 - Fix bug with -c flag.
816
817 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
818
819 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
820 truncate checks.
821
822 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
823 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
824
825 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
826
827 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
828 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
829 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
830
831 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
832 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
833 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
834
835 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
836 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
837
838 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
839
840 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
841
842 - Internal release (never publically exported).
843
844 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
845
846 - Various byte ordering fixes.
847
848 - Add truncation checks.
849
850 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
851
852 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
853
854 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
855
856 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
857 for broadcast nets.
858
859 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
860 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
861
862 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
863
864 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
865
866 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
867
868 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
869 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
870
871 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
872
873 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
874
875 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
876
877 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
878
879 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
880 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
881
882 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
883 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
884 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
885 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
886
887 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
888 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
889 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
890 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
891
892 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
893 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
894 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
895
896 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
897 Jeff Mogul).
898
899 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
900
901 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
902 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
903 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
904 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
905
906 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
907
908 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
909
910 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
911
912 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
913 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
914
915 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
916 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
917
918 - IP options are now printed.
919
920 - RIP packets are now printed.
921
922 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
923 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
924 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
925 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
926
927 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
928 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
929 entry).
930
931 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
932 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
933 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
934 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
935 packets.
936
937 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
938 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
939 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
940 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
941 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
942 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
943 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
944 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
945
946 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
947
948 - Initial public release.
