378 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
379 first block N times).
381 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
382 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

564 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
566 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
567 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
568 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).

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

610 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to

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