573 - Avoid solaris compiler warnings. Thanks to Bruce Barnett
574 (barnett@grymoire.crd.ge.com)
576 - Fix rip printer to not print one more route than is actually in the
577 packet. Thanks to Jean-Luc Richier (Jean-Luc.Richier@imag.fr) and
578 Bill Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
580 - Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.

583 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
585 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
587 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
588 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
589 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
590 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
591 first block N times).
593 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
594 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

738 - Fixed an endian bug in the ospf printer. Thanks to Jeffrey C Honig
741 - Fix rip printer to handle 4.4 BSD sockaddr struct which only uses one
742 octet for the sa_family member. Thanks to Yoshitaka Tokugawa

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

763 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
765 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
767 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
769 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
771 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
772 "released" one in late 1995.
774 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
776 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
778 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
779 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
780 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
782 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
783 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
785 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
786 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).

795 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
797 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
799 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
801 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
802 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
804 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
805 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
806 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
807 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
808 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
809 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
810 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
812 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
815 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
816 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
817 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
819 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
822 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
823 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
825 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
826 packaged separately).
828 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
830 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
833 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
834 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
836 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
839 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
840 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
842 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
843 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
844 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
845 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
846 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
847 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
848 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
849 with "not ip proto 4".)
851 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
852 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
854 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
856 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
857 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
858 Add && and || operators
860 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
862 - Fix bug with -c flag.
864 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
866 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
869 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
870 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
872 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
874 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
875 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
876 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
878 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
879 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
880 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
882 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
883 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
885 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
887 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
889 - Internal release (never publically exported).
891 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
893 - Various byte ordering fixes.
895 - Add truncation checks.
897 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
899 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
901 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
903 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
906 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
907 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
909 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
911 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
913 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
915 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
916 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
918 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
920 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
922 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
924 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
926 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
927 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
929 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
930 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
931 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
932 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
934 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
935 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
936 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
937 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
939 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
940 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
941 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
943 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
946 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
948 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
949 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
950 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
951 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
953 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
955 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
957 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
959 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
960 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
962 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
963 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
965 - IP options are now printed.
967 - RIP packets are now printed.
969 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
970 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
971 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
972 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
974 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
975 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
978 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
979 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
980 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
981 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
984 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
985 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
986 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
987 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
988 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
989 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
990 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
991 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
993 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
995 - Initial public release.
