702 formats.
703

760 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
761 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
762 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
763 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
764 first block N times).
765
766 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
767 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

795 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
796
797 - Added some more packet truncation checks.

948
949 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
950
951 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
952 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
953 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
954
955 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
956 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
957
958 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer

975 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
976
977 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
978 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
979 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
980 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
981 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
982 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
983 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
984
985 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
986 (mogul@pa.dec.com).

990 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
991
992 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
993 (brad@fcr.com).
994
995 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
996 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
997
998 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
999 packaged separately).
1000
1001 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1002
1003 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1004 what we expect.
1005
1006 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1007 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1008
1009 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1010 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1011
1012 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1013 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1014
1015 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1016 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1017 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1018 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1019 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1020 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1021 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1022 with "not ip proto 4".)
1023
1024 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1025 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1026
1027 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1028
1029 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1030 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1031 Add && and || operators
1032
1033 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
1034
1035 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1036
1037 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1038
1039 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1040 truncate checks.
1041
1042 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1043 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1044
1045 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1046
1047 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1048 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1049 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1050
1051 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1052 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1053 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1054
1055 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
1056 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
1057
1058 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
1059
1060 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
1061
1062 - Internal release (never publically exported).
1063
1064 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
1065
1066 - Various byte ordering fixes.
1067
1068 - Add truncation checks.
1069
1070 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
1071
1072 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
1073
1074 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
1075
1076 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
1077 for broadcast nets.
1078
1079 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1080 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1081
1082 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1083
1084 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1085
1086 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1087
1088 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1089 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1090
1091 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1092
1093 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1094
1095 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1096
1097 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1098
1099 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1100 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1101
1102 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1103 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1104 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1105 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1106
1107 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1108 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1109 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1110 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1111
1112 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1113 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1114 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1115
1116 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1117 Jeff Mogul).
1118
1119 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1120
1121 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1122 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
1123 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1124 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1125
1126 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1127
1128 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1129
1130 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1131
1132 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1133 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1134
1135 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1136 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1137
1138 - IP options are now printed.
1139
1140 - RIP packets are now printed.
1141
1142 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1143 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1144 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1145 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1146
1147 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1148 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1149 entry).
1150
1151 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1152 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1153 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1154 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1155 packets.
1156
1157 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1158 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1159 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1160 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1161 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1162 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1163 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1164 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
1165
1166 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
1167
1168 - Initial public release.
