1094 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
1096 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
1097 "released" one in late 1995.
1099 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
1101 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1103 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
1104 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
1105 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1107 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
1108 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1110 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
1111 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
1113 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
1114 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
1116 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
1118 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
1120 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
1122 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
1124 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
1126 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
1127 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1129 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
1130 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
1131 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
1132 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
1133 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
1134 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
1135 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
1137 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
1140 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
1141 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
1142 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
1144 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
1147 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
1148 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
1150 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
1151 packaged separately).
1153 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1155 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1158 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1159 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1161 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1164 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1165 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1167 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1168 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1169 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1170 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1171 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1172 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1173 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1174 with "not ip proto 4".)
1176 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1177 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1179 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1181 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1182 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1183 Add && and || operators
1185 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
1187 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1189 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1191 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1194 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1195 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1197 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1199 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1200 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1201 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1203 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1204 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1205 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1207 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
1208 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
1210 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
1212 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
1214 - Internal release (never publically exported).
1216 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
1218 - Various byte ordering fixes.
1220 - Add truncation checks.
1222 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
1224 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
1226 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
1228 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
1231 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1232 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1234 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1236 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1238 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1240 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1241 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1243 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1245 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1247 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1249 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1251 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1252 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1254 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1255 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1256 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1257 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1259 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1260 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1261 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1262 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1264 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1265 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1266 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1268 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1271 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1273 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1274 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
1275 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1276 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1278 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1280 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1282 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1284 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1285 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1287 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1288 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1290 - IP options are now printed.
1292 - RIP packets are now printed.
1294 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1295 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1296 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1297 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1299 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1300 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1303 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1304 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1305 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1306 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1309 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1310 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1311 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1312 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1313 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1314 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1315 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1316 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
