630 - Fix ntp_print() to not print garbage when the stratum is
631 "unspecified." Thanks to Deus Ex Machina (root@belle.bork.com).
633 - Rewrote tcp options printer code to check for truncation. Added
634 selective acknowledgment case.
636 - Fixed an endian bug in the ospf printer. Thanks to Jeffrey C Honig
639 - Fix rip printer to handle 4.4 BSD sockaddr struct which only uses one

652 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
655 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
656 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
657 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
659 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning

663 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
665 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
667 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
669 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
670 "released" one in late 1995.
672 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
674 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
676 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
677 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
678 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
680 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
681 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
683 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
684 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).

687 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
689 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
691 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
693 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
695 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
697 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
699 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
700 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
702 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
703 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
704 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
705 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
706 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
707 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
708 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
710 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
713 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
714 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
715 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
717 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
720 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
721 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
723 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
724 packaged separately).
726 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
728 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
731 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
732 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
734 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
737 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
738 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
740 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
741 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
742 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
743 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
744 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
745 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
746 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
747 with "not ip proto 4".)
749 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
750 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
752 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
754 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
755 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
756 Add && and || operators
758 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
760 - Fix bug with -c flag.
762 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
764 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
767 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
768 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
770 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
772 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
773 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
774 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
776 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
777 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
778 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
780 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
781 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
783 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
785 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
787 - Internal release (never publically exported).
789 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
791 - Various byte ordering fixes.
793 - Add truncation checks.
795 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
797 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
799 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
801 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
804 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
805 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
807 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
809 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
811 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
813 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
814 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
816 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
818 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
820 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
822 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
824 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
825 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
827 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
828 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
829 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
830 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
832 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
833 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
834 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
835 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
837 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
838 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
839 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
841 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
844 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
846 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
847 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
848 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
849 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
851 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
853 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
855 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
857 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
858 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
860 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
861 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
863 - IP options are now printed.
865 - RIP packets are now printed.
867 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
868 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
869 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
870 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
872 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
873 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
876 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
877 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
878 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
879 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
882 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
883 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
884 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
885 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
886 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
887 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
888 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
889 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
891 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
893 - Initial public release.
