1474 formats.
1475
1476 - Extend OSF ip header workaround to versions 1 and 2.

1524
1525 - Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
1526
1527 - Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
1528 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
1529
1530 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
1531
1532 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
1533 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
1534 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
1535 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
1536 first block N times).
1537
1538 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
1539 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
1540

1567 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1568
1569 - Added some more packet truncation checks.

1624 types.
1625
1626 - Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
1627
1628 - Added T/TCP options printing. As suggested by Richard Stevens
1629 (rstevens@noao.edu)
1630
1631 - Use autoconf to detect architectures that can't handle misaligned
1632 accesses.
1633
1634 v3.1 Thu Jun 13 20:59:32 PDT 1996
1635
1636 - Changed u_int32/int32 to u_int32_t/int32_t to be consistent with bsd
1637 and bind (as suggested by Charles Hannum).
1638
1639 - Port to GNU autoconf.
1640
1641 - Add support for printing DVMRP and PIM traffic thanks to

1657 (cslater@imatek.com).
1658
1659 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
1660
1661 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
1662 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
1663
1664 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
1665 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
1666
1667 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
1668
1669 - Add support for Kerberos 4 thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).
1670
1671 - Fixed the Fix EXTRACT_SHORT() and EXTRACT_LONG() macros (which were
1672 wrong on little endian machines).
1673
1674 - Fixed alignment bug in ipx_decode(). Thanks to Matt Crawford
1675 (crawdad@fnal.gov).
1676

1698
1699 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
1700 2.3.
1701
1702 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
1703 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
1704 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
1705
1706 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
1707 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
1708 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
1709
1710 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
1711
1712 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1713
1714 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
1715
1716 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
1717 "released" one in late 1995.
1718
1719 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
1720
1721 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1722
1723 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
1724 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
1725 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1726
1727 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
1728 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1729
1730 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
1731 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
1732
1733 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
1734 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
1735

1741
1742 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
1743
1744 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
1745
1746 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
1747 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1748
1749 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
1750 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
1751 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
1752 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
1753 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
1754 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
1755 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
1756
1757 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
1758 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1759
1760 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
1761 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
1762 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
1763
1764 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
1765 (brad@fcr.com).
1766
1767 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
1768 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
1769
1770 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
1771 packaged separately).
1772
1773 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1774
1775 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1776 what we expect.
1777
1778 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1779 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1780
1781 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1782 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1783
1784 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1785 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1786
1787 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1788 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1789 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1790 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1791 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1792 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1793 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1794 with "not ip proto 4".)
1795
1796 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1797 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1798
1799 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1800
1801 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1802 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1803 Add && and || operators
1804
1805 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992

1807 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1808
1809 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1810
1811 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1812 truncate checks.
1813
1814 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1815 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1816
1817 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1818
1819 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1820 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1821 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1822
1823 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1824 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1825 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1826
1827 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
1828 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
1829
1830 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
1831
1832 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
1833
1834 - Internal release (never publicly exported).
1835
1836 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
1837
1838 - Various byte ordering fixes.
1839
1840 - Add truncation checks.
1841
1842 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
1843
1844 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
1845
1846 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
1847
1848 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
1849 for broadcast nets.
1850
1851 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1852 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1853
1854 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1855
1856 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1857
1858 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1859
1860 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1861 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1862
1863 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1864
1865 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1866
1867 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1868
1869 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1870
1871 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1872 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1873
1874 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1875 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1876 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1877 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1878
1879 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1880 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1881 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1882 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1883
1884 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1885 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1886 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1887
1888 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1889 Jeff Mogul).
1890
1891 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1892
1893 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1894 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. tcpdump has been tested under
1895 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1896 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1897
1898 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1899
1900 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1901
1902 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1903
1904 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1905 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1906
1907 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1908 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1909
1910 - IP options are now printed.
1911
1912 - RIP packets are now printed.
1913
1914 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1915 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1916 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1917 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1918
1919 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1920 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1921 entry).
1922
1923 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1924 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1925 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1926 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1927 packets.
1928
1929 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1930 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1931 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1932 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1933 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1934 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1935 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1936 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
