972 cache variable name). Thanks to John Hawkinson.
973
974 - Add a local autoconf macro to check for types; the autoconf version
975 is broken (it uses grep instead of actually compiling a code fragment).

978 formats.
979
980 - Extend OSF ip header workaround to versions 1 and 2.

1027 Bill Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
1028
1029 - Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
1030
1031 - Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
1032 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
1033
1034 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
1035
1036 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
1037 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
1038 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
1039 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
1040 first block N times).
1041
1042 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
1043 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
1044

1071 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1072
1073 - Added some more packet truncation checks.
1074

1161 (cslater@imatek.com).
1162
1163 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
1164
1165 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
1166 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
1167
1168 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
1169 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
1170
1171 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
1172

1202
1203 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
1204 2.3.
1205
1206 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
1207 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
1208 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
1209
1210 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning

1217
1218 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
1219
1220 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
1221 "released" one in late 1995.
1222
1223 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
1224
1225 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1226
1227 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
1228 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
1229 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1230
1231 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
1232 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1233
1234 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
1235 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
1236
1237 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
1238 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
1239

1245
1246 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
1247
1248 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
1249
1250 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
1251 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1252
1253 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
1254 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
1255 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
1256 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
1257 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
1258 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
1259 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
1260
1261 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
1262 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1263
1264 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
1265 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
1266 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
1267
1268 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
1269 (brad@fcr.com).
1270
1271 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
1272 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
1273
1274 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
1275 packaged separately).
1276
1277 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1278
1279 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1280 what we expect.
1281
1282 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1283 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1284
1285 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1286 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1287
1288 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1289 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1290
1291 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1292 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1293 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1294 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1295 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1296 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1297 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1298 with "not ip proto 4".)
1299
1300 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1301 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1302
1303 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1304
1305 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1306 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1307 Add && and || operators
1308
1309 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
1310
1311 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1312
1313 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1314
1315 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1316 truncate checks.
1317
1318 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1319 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1320
1321 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1322
1323 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1324 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1325 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1326
1327 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1328 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1329 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1330
1331 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
1332 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
1333
1334 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
1335
1336 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
1337
1338 - Internal release (never publically exported).
1339
1340 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
1341
1342 - Various byte ordering fixes.
1343
1344 - Add truncation checks.
1345
1346 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
1347
1348 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
1349
1350 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
1351
1352 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
1353 for broadcast nets.
1354
1355 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1356 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1357
1358 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1359
1360 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1361
1362 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1363
1364 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1365 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1366
1367 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1368
1369 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1370
1371 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1372
1373 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1374
1375 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1376 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1377
1378 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1379 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1380 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1381 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1382
1383 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1384 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1385 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1386 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1387
1388 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1389 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1390 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1391
1392 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1393 Jeff Mogul).
1394
1395 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1396
1397 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1398 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
1399 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1400 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1401
1402 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1403
1404 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1405
1406 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1407
1408 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1409 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1410
1411 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1412 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1413
1414 - IP options are now printed.
1415
1416 - RIP packets are now printed.
1417
1418 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1419 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1420 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1421 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1422
1423 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1424 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1425 entry).
1426
1427 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1428 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1429 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1430 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1431 packets.
1432
1433 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1434 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1435 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1436 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1437 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1438 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1439 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1440 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
