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

554 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
555 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).

576 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
577 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
579 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
580 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
581 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
582 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
583 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
584 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
585 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
587 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul

601 packaged separately).
603 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
605 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
608 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
609 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
611 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
614 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
615 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
617 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
618 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
619 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
620 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
621 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
622 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
623 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
624 with "not ip proto 4".)
626 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
627 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
629 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
631 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
632 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
633 Add && and || operators
635 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
637 - Fix bug with -c flag.
639 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
641 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
644 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
645 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
647 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
649 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
650 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
651 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
653 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
654 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
655 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
657 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
658 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
660 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
662 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
664 - Internal release (never publically exported).
666 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
668 - Various byte ordering fixes.
670 - Add truncation checks.
672 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
674 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
676 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
678 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
681 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
682 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
684 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
686 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
688 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
690 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
691 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
693 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
695 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
697 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
699 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
701 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
702 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
704 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
705 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
706 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
707 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
709 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
710 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
711 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
712 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
714 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
715 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
716 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
718 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
721 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
723 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
724 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
725 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
726 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
728 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
730 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
732 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
734 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
735 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
737 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
738 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
740 - IP options are now printed.
742 - RIP packets are now printed.
744 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
745 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
746 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
747 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
749 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
750 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
753 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
754 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
755 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
756 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
759 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
760 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
761 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
762 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
763 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
764 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
765 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
766 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
768 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
770 - Initial public release.
