518 first block N times).
520 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
521 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

696 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
698 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
699 "released" one in late 1995.
701 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
703 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
705 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
706 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
707 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
709 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
710 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
712 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
713 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).

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