486 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
487 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
488 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
489 first block N times).
490
491 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
492 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
493

570 and time exceeded.
571
572 - Fix an alignment endian bug in getname(). Thanks to John Hawkinson.
573
574 - Define "new" domain record types if not found in arpa/nameserv.h.

577 types.
578
579 - Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
580
581 - Added T/TCP options printing. As suggested by Richard Stevens
582 (rstevens@noao.edu)
583
584 - Use autoconf to detect architectures that can't handle misaligned
585 accesses.
586
587 v3.1 Thu Jun 13 20:59:32 PDT 1996
588
589 - Changed u_int32/int32 to u_int32_t/int32_t to be consistent with bsd
590 and bind (as suggested by Charles Hannum).
591
592 - Port to GNU autoconf.
593
594 - Add support for printing DVMRP and PIM traffic thanks to
595 Havard Eidnes (Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no).
596

608
609 - Document -dd and -ddd. Resulted from a bug report from Charlie Slater
610 (cslater@imatek.com).
611
612 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
613
614 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
615 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
616
617 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
618 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
619
620 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
621
622 - Add suport for Kerberos 4 thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).

651
652 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
653 2.3.
654
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).
658
659 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
660 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
661 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
662
663 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.

666
667 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
668
669 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
670 "released" one in late 1995.
671
672 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
673
674 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
675
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).
679
680 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
681 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
682
683 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
684 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
685
686 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
687 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
688
689 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
690
691 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
692
693 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
694
695 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
696
697 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
698
699 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
700 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
701
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.
709
710 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
711 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
712
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).
716
717 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
718 (brad@fcr.com).
719
720 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
721 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
722
723 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
724 packaged separately).
725
726 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
727
728 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
729 what we expect.
730
731 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
732 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
733
734 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
735 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
736
737 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
738 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
739
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".)
748
749 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
750 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
751
752 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
753
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
757
758 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
759
760 - Fix bug with -c flag.
761
762 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
763
764 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
765 truncate checks.
766
767 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
768 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
769
770 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
771
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.
775
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.
779
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.
782
783 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
784
785 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
786
787 - Internal release (never publically exported).
788
789 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
790
791 - Various byte ordering fixes.
792
793 - Add truncation checks.
794
795 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
796
797 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
798
799 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
800
801 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
802 for broadcast nets.
803
804 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
805 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
806
807 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
808
809 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
810
811 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
812
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.
815
816 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
817
818 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
819
820 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
821
822 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
823
824 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
825 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
826
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.
831
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.
836
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.
840
841 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
842 Jeff Mogul).
843
844 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
845
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.
850
851 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
852
853 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
854
855 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
856
857 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
858 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
859
860 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
861 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
862
863 - IP options are now printed.
864
865 - RIP packets are now printed.
866
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).
871
872 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
873 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
874 entry).
875
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
880 packets.
881
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)".]
890
891 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
892
893 - Initial public release.
