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

638 - Port to GNU autoconf.
640 - Add support for printing DVMRP and PIM traffic thanks to
641 Havard Eidnes (Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no).

711 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
713 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
715 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
716 "released" one in late 1995.
718 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
720 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
722 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
723 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
724 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
726 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
727 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
729 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer

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