1391 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
1392 first block N times).
1394 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
1395 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

1546 - Don't checksum ip header if we don't have all of it. Thanks to John
1547 Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).
1549 - Print out hostnames if possible in egp printer. Thanks to Jeffrey
1550 Honig (jhc@bsdi.com)
1553 v3.1a1 Wed May 3 19:21:11 PDT 1995
1555 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
1558 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
1559 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
1560 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
1562 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
1563 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
1564 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
1566 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
1568 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1570 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
1572 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
1573 "released" one in late 1995.
1575 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
1577 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1579 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
1580 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
1581 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1583 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
1584 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1586 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
1587 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
1589 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
1590 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
1592 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
1594 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
1596 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
1598 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
1600 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
1602 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
1603 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1605 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
1606 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
1607 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
1608 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
1609 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
1610 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
1611 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
1613 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
1616 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
1617 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
1618 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
1620 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
1623 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
1624 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
1626 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
1627 packaged separately).
1629 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1631 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1634 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1635 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1637 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1640 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1641 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1643 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1644 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1645 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1646 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1647 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1648 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1649 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1650 with "not ip proto 4".)
1652 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1653 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1655 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1657 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1658 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1659 Add && and || operators
1661 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
1663 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1665 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1667 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1670 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1671 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1673 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1675 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1676 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1677 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1679 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1680 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1681 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1683 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
1684 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
1686 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
1688 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
1690 - Internal release (never publicly exported).
1692 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
1694 - Various byte ordering fixes.
1696 - Add truncation checks.
1698 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
1700 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
1702 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
1704 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
1707 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1708 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1710 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1712 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1714 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1716 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1717 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1719 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1721 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1723 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1725 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1727 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1728 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1730 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1731 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1732 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1733 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1735 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1736 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1737 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1738 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1740 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1741 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1742 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1744 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1747 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1749 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1750 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
1751 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1752 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1754 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1756 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1758 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1760 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1761 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1763 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1764 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1766 - IP options are now printed.
1768 - RIP packets are now printed.
1770 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1771 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1772 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1773 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1775 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1776 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1779 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1780 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1781 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1782 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1785 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1786 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1787 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1788 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1789 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1790 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1791 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1792 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
1794 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
1796 - Initial public release.
