The TCPDUMP Group wish to announce the release of tcpdump version 3.6 and
libpcap 0.6.
Please see: www.tcpdump.org.
Please send patches to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Major changes in this release are:
Tcpdump:
Cleaned up documentation.
Promisc mode fixes for Linux
IPsec changes/cleanups.
Alignment fixes for picky architectures
Removed dependency on native headers for packet dissectors.
Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped
libpcap changes provide for exchanging capture files between
systems. Save files now have well known PACKET_ values instead of
depending upon system dependant mappings of DLT_* types.
Support for computing/checking IP and UDP/TCP checksums.
Updated autoconf stock files.
IPv6 improvements: dhcp (draft-15), mobile-ip6, ppp, ospf6,
Added dissector support for: ISOCLNS, Token Ring, IGMPv3, bxxp,
timed, vrrp, radius, chdlc, cnfp, cdp, IEEE802.1d, raw-AppleTalk
Added filtering support for: VLANs, ESIS, ISIS
Improvements to: print-telnet, IPTalk, bootp/dhcp, ECN, PPP,
L2TP, PPPoE
HP-UX 11.0 -- find the right dlpi device.
Solaris 8 - IPv6 works
Linux - Added support for an "any" device to capture on all interfaces
Security fixes: buffer overrun audit done. Strcpy replaced with
strlcpy, sprintf replaced with snprintf.
Look for lex problems, and warn about them.
Libpcap:
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.
