| Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release |
| |
| New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later |
| kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet |
| filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any" |
| device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous |
| mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes |
| (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better, |
| doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.). |
| |
| Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for |
| an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name. |
| |
| libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values |
| in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_ |
| values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between |
| different OSes. |
| |
| Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g. |
| the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read. |
| |
| Updated autoconf stock files. |
| |
| Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI |
| protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed |
| packets). |
| |
| "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions |
| to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file. |
| |
| Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs. |
| |
| Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout. |
| Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped. |
| |
| Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced |
| with snprintf. |
| |
| Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail |
| erroneously after one compile failed. |
| |
| Assorted other bug fixes. |
| |
| README.aix and README.linux files added to describe |
| platform-specific issues. |
| |
| "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available. |
| |

| the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the |
| entire list. |
| |

| apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0"). |
| |
