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

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

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

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