Summary for 0.6 release 6556889Sfenner 6675107Sfenner New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later 6775107Sfenner kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet 6875107Sfenner filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any" 6975107Sfenner device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous 7075107Sfenner mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes 7175107Sfenner (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better, 7275107Sfenner doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.). 7356889Sfenner 7475107Sfenner Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for 7575107Sfenner an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name. 7675107Sfenner 7775107Sfenner libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values 7875107Sfenner in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_ 7975107Sfenner values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between 8075107Sfenner different OSes. 8175107Sfenner 8275107Sfenner Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g. 8375107Sfenner the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read. 8475107Sfenner 8575107Sfenner Updated autoconf stock files. 8675107Sfenner 8775107Sfenner Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI 8875107Sfenner protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed 8975107Sfenner packets). 9075107Sfenner 9175107Sfenner "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions 9275107Sfenner to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file. 9375107Sfenner 9475107Sfenner Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs. 9575107Sfenner 9675107Sfenner Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout. 9775107Sfenner Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped. 9875107Sfenner 9975107Sfenner Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced 10075107Sfenner with snprintf. 10175107Sfenner 10275107Sfenner Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail 10375107Sfenner erroneously after one compile failed. 10475107Sfenner 10575107Sfenner Assorted other bug fixes. 10675107Sfenner 10775107Sfenner README.aix and README.linux files added to describe 10875107Sfenner platform-specific issues. 10975107Sfenner 11075107Sfenner "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available. 11175107Sfenner 11275107Sfennerv0.5 Sat Jun 10 11:09:15 PDT 2000 11375107Sfenner 11475107Sfenneritojun@iijlab.net 11575107Sfenner- Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler. 11675107Sfenner- Fixes for NetBSD. 11775107Sfenner- Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC), 11875107Sfenner and changes to work around different BSDs having different DLT_ types 11975107Sfenner with the same numeric value. 12075107Sfenner 12175107SfennerAssar Westerlund <assar@sics.se> 12275107Sfenner- Building outside the source code tree fixed. 12375107Sfenner- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds 12475107Sfenner fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in 12575107Sfenner the OS's native "struct timeval". 12675107Sfenner- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which 12775107Sfenner the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the 12875107Sfenner entire list. 12975107Sfenner 13075107SfennerGreg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com> 13175107Sfenner- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter 13275107Sfenner expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or 13375107Sfenner capture file. 13475107Sfenner 13539291Sfennerv0.4 Sat Jul 25 12:40:09 PDT 1998 13639291Sfenner 13739291Sfenner- Fix endian problem with DLT_NULL devices.
