615 formats.
616
617- Extend OSF ip header workaround to versions 1 and 2.

623 can't hack numeric groups. Reported by David Sacerdote.
624
625- AIX needs special loader options. Thanks to Jonathan I. Kamens
626 (jik@cam.ov.com)

666- Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
667
668- Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
669 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
670
671- Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
672
673- Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
674 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
675 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
676 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
677 first block N times).
678
679- Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
680 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
681
682v3.2.1 Sun Jul 14 03:02:26 PDT 1996

708 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
709
710- Added some more packet truncation checks.
711

765 types.
766
767- Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
768
769- Added T/TCP options printing. As suggested by Richard Stevens

773 accesses.
774
775v3.1 Thu Jun 13 20:59:32 PDT 1996
776
777- Changed u_int32/int32 to u_int32_t/int32_t to be consistent with bsd

798 (cslater@imatek.com).
799
800- Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
801
802- Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
803 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
804
805- Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
806 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
807
808- Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
809
810- Add suport for Kerberos 4 thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).

841 2.3.
842
843- Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
844 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
845 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
846
847- Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
848 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
849 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
850
851- Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.

854
855v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
856
857- Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
858 "released" one in late 1995.
859
860v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
861
862- Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
863
864- Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
865 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
866 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
867
868- Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
869 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
870
871- Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
872 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
873
874- Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
875 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
876
877- Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
878
879- Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
880
881v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
882
883- Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
884
885v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
886
887- Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
888 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
889
890- Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
891 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
892 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
893 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
894 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
895 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
896 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
897
898- Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
899 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
900
901- Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
902 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
903 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
904
905- Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
906 (brad@fcr.com).
907
908- Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
909 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
910
911- Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
912 packaged separately).
913
914- Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
915
916- print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
917 what we expect.
918
919- print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
920 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
921
922- print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
923 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
924
925- print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
926 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
927
928- print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
929 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
930 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
931 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
932 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
933 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
934 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
935 with "not ip proto 4".)
936
937- print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
938 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
939
940- print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
941
942- tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
943 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
944 Add && and || operators
945
946v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
947
948- Fix bug with -c flag.
949
950v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
951
952- savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
953 truncate checks.
954
955- Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
956 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
957
958- Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
959
960- Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
961 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
962 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
963
964- Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
965 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
966 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
967
968- Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
969 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
970

988
989- pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
990 for broadcast nets.
991
992- print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
993 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
994
995- print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
996
997- print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
998
999- print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1000
1001- print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1002 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1003
1004- print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1005
1006- print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1007
1008- print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1009
1010- print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1011
1012- tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1013 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1014
1015- A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1016 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1017 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1018 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1019
1020- BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1021 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1022 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1023 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1024
1025- Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1026 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1027 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1028
1029- Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1030 Jeff Mogul).
1031
1032- Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1033
1034- IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1035 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
1036 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1037 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1038
1039- TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1040
1041- BOOTP packets are now printed.
1042
1043- SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1044
1045- Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1046 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1047
1048- SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1049 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1050
1051- IP options are now printed.
1052
1053- RIP packets are now printed.
1054
1055- There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1056 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1057 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1058 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1059
1060- The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1061 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1062 entry).
1063
1064 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1065 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1066 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1067 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1068 packets.
1069
1070 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1071 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1072 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1073 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1074 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1075 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1076 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1077 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
