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

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

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

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