1430 formats.
1431
1432 - Extend OSF ip header workaround to versions 1 and 2.

1480
1481 - Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
1482
1483 - Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
1484 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
1485
1486 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
1487
1488 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
1489 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
1490 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
1491 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
1492 first block N times).
1493
1494 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
1495 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
1496

1523 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1524
1525 - Added some more packet truncation checks.
1526

1614
1615 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
1616
1617 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
1618 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
1619
1620 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
1621 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
1622
1623 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
1624
1625 - Add support for Kerberos 4 thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).

1654
1655 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
1656 2.3.
1657
1658 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
1659 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
1660 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
1661
1662 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
1663 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
1664 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).

1669
1670 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
1671
1672 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
1673 "released" one in late 1995.
1674
1675 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
1676
1677 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1678
1679 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
1680 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
1681 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1682
1683 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
1684 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1685
1686 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
1687 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
1688
1689 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
1690 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).

1698 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
1699
1700 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
1701
1702 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
1703 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1704
1705 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
1706 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
1707 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
1708 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
1709 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
1710 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
1711 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
1712
1713 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
1714 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1715
1716 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
1717 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
1718 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
1719
1720 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
1721 (brad@fcr.com).
1722
1723 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
1724 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
1725
1726 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
1727 packaged separately).
1728
1729 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1730
1731 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1732 what we expect.
1733
1734 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1735 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1736
1737 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1738 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1739
1740 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1741 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1742
1743 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1744 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1745 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1746 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1747 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1748 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1749 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1750 with "not ip proto 4".)
1751
1752 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1753 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1754
1755 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1756
1757 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1758 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1759 Add && and || operators
1760
1761 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
1762
1763 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1764
1765 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1766
1767 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1768 truncate checks.
1769
1770 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1771 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1772
1773 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1774
1775 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1776 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1777 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1778
1779 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1780 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1781 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1782
1783 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.

1805 for broadcast nets.
1806
1807 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1808 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1809
1810 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1811
1812 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1813
1814 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1815
1816 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1817 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1818
1819 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1820
1821 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1822
1823 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1824
1825 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1826
1827 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1828 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1829
1830 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1831 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1832 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1833 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1834
1835 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1836 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1837 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1838 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1839
1840 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1841 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1842 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1843
1844 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1845 Jeff Mogul).
1846
1847 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1848
1849 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1850 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. tcpdump has been tested under
1851 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1852 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1853
1854 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1855
1856 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1857
1858 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1859
1860 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1861 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1862
1863 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1864 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1865
1866 - IP options are now printed.
1867
1868 - RIP packets are now printed.
1869
1870 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1871 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1872 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1873 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1874
1875 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1876 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1877 entry).
1878
1879 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1880 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1881 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1882 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1883 packets.
1884
1885 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1886 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1887 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1888 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1889 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1890 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1891 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1892 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
