365 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
366 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
367 first block N times).
369 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
370 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

555 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
556 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
558 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based

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

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