514 (barnett@grymoire.crd.ge.com)
515
516 - Fix rip printer to not print one more route than is actually in the
517 packet. Thanks to Jean-Luc Richier (Jean-Luc.Richier@imag.fr) and
518 Bill Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
519
520 - Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
521
522 - Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
523 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
524
525 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
526
527 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
528 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
529 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
530 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
531 first block N times).
532
533 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
534 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
535

562 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
563
564 - Added some more packet truncation checks.

619 types.
620
621 - Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
622
623 - Added T/TCP options printing. As suggested by Richard Stevens

627 accesses.
628
629 v3.1 Thu Jun 13 20:59:32 PDT 1996
630
631 - Changed u_int32/int32 to u_int32_t/int32_t to be consistent with bsd
632 and bind (as suggested by Charles Hannum).

652 (cslater@imatek.com).
653
654 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
655
656 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
657 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
658
659 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
660 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
661
662 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
663
664 - Add suport for Kerberos 4 thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).

695 2.3.
696
697 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
698 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
699 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
700
701 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
702 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
703 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
704
705 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
706

708
709 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
710
711 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
712 "released" one in late 1995.
713
714 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
715
716 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
717
718 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
719 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
720 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
721
722 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
723 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
724
725 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
726 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
727
728 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
729 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
730
731 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
732
733 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
734
735 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
736
737 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
738
739 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
740
741 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
742 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
743
744 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
745 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
746 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
747 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
748 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
749 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
750 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
751
752 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
753 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
754
755 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
756 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
757 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
758
759 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
760 (brad@fcr.com).
761
762 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
763 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
764
765 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
766 packaged separately).
767
768 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
769
770 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
771 what we expect.
772
773 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
774 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
775
776 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
777 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
778
779 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
780 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
781
782 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
783 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
784 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
785 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
786 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
787 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
788 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
789 with "not ip proto 4".)
790
791 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
792 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
793
794 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
795
796 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
797 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
798 Add && and || operators
799
800 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
801
802 - Fix bug with -c flag.
803
804 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
805
806 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
807 truncate checks.
808
809 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
810 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
811
812 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
813
814 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
815 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
816 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
817
818 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
819 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
820 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
821
822 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
823 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
824
825 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
826
827 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
828
829 - Internal release (never publically exported).
830
831 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
832
833 - Various byte ordering fixes.
834
835 - Add truncation checks.
836
837 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
838
839 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
840
841 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
842
843 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
844 for broadcast nets.
845
846 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
847 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
848
849 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
850
851 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
852
853 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
854
855 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
856 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
857
858 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
859
860 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
861
862 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
863
864 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
865
866 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
867 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
868
869 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
870 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
871 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
872 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
873
874 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
875 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
876 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
877 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
878
879 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
880 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
881 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
882
883 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
884 Jeff Mogul).
885
886 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
887
888 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
889 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
890 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
891 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
892
893 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
894
895 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
896
897 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
898
899 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
900 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
901
902 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
903 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
904
905 - IP options are now printed.
906
907 - RIP packets are now printed.
908
909 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
910 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
911 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
912 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
913
914 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
915 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
916 entry).
917
918 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
919 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
920 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
921 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
922 packets.
923
924 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
925 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
926 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
927 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
928 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
929 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
930 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
931 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
932
933 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
934
935 - Initial public release.
