! 49:
! 50: 20 Nov 2002 -- 2.0.0 stable -- candidate release 2
! 51: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
! 52:
! 53: NJ FIX: The bug about port number printing in TCP mode than YB discovered.
! 54: NJ ADD: MTU value sanity check in option parsing.
! 55: NJ FIX: Fix the use of -W option
! 56: NJ ADD: strLcpy() function taken from OpenBSD
! 57: NJ FIX: Fix a bug when using BSD and a PPP link as a default route
! 58: Move code from routing sockets to get_output_if function.
! 59: BJ FIX/ADD: source routing and random bugfixes. Thanks BJ!
! 60: AZ ADD: --rand-source for random source addresses.
! 61: AZ FIX: all the atoi() call was replaced with strto[u]l().

! 63: to Shachar Shemesh <sun@consumer.org.il>.
! 64: AZ ADD: --rand-dest for random destination addresses + manpage update.
! 65: AZ FIX/ADD: Major code rewrite.
! 66: AZ FIX: DF added to the icmp and udp output.
! 67: AZ FIX: --port ++<base> fixed with UDP and enhanced for TCP/UDP. Now the
! 68: packets matches only with a sport that is:
! 69: >= base_dest_port AND <= current_dest_port.
! 70: Thanks to David Bar <dbar@Checkpoint.com> for the original
! 71: report.
! 72:
! 73: 15 Aug 2001 -- 2.0.0 stable -- candidate release 1
! 74: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
! 75:
! 76: AZ FIX: --fast now really sends 10packets/second, not 100. Thanks
! 77: to DD for the report.
! 78: AZ FIX: bzero/bcopy replaced with the sane memset/memcpy.
! 79: DG ADD: Solaris port, with the help of the patch contributed by
! 80: Steve Bleazard <steve@bleazard.com>
! 81: AZ ADD: Changed a bit the format (flags=S is now <S>) and add the string
! 82: DF if the don't fragment bit is on.
! 83: AZ FIX: waitpacket.c to take the data aligned. Now hping seems to
! 84: work without problems on linux/sparc.
! 85: AZ FIX: getifname.c, now even the linux version behaves better locking
! 86: for the interface address of the outgoing interface according
! 87: to the kernel routing table. getdefaultif.c removed, no loger used.
! 88: AZ FIX --tr-stop enhanced (now really exit when an expected packet that
! 89: was not an ICMP time exceeded was received)
! 90: AZ FIX: --stop-tr is now --tr-stop. All the traceroute mode options
! 91: starts with --tr.
! 92: AZ ADD: --tr-no-rtt to turn off RTT information in traceroute mode.
! 93: Thanks to Denis Ducamp for the idea.
! 94: AZ FIX: Now provide traceroute RTT information even with ICMP.
! 95: AZ ADD: --stop-tr stops hping in traceroute mode once the first non
! 96: ICMP packet is received. Thanks to Denis Ducamp for the idea.
! 97: AZ ADD: ICMP subnet address mask support. Not tested.
! 98: AZ ADD: TCP timestamp support with HZ and uptime guessing (--tcp-timestamp)
! 99: AZ ADD: ICMP timestamp support (--icmptype 13)
! 100: AZ FIX: Fixed getlhs.c under BSD to get the header length from the like type.
! 101: YB NH AZ FIX: ICMP ID handling on systems with 32 bit pids.
! 102: DD ADD: Man page update (not french one!)
! 103: AZ ADD: --traceroute now prints RTT information.
! 104: AZ ADD: --traceroute now implies --ttl 1 if no --ttl option is specified.
! 105: AZ ADD: --fast option that is an alias for -u i10000 (10 packets at second)
! 106: MM ADD: ets.* interface (thanks to Stefano Brandimarte.)
! 107: AZ FIX: compilation problem (NULL used without including stdlib.h in getusec.c)
! 108: AZ FIX: -H switch (alternative to --protoip) thanks to
! 109: "roy kozzer" <royk50@hotmail.com>
! 110: MM FIX: Man page grammatical mistakes, thanks to Jason Lunz <j@trellisinc.com>,
! 111: I applied the patch by hand, so maybe some mistake is still inside.
! 112: FP FIX: fixed rtt/sequence number handling, now hping2 can run for hours
! 113: keeping the right rtt calculation. Some sentence from the original
! 114: Francesco's email:
! 115:
! 116: I am using it to make long measurements of the response times of http
! 117: servers around the world, so hping2 keeps running for days. In fact, it
! 118: is apparently impossible to use hping2 this way, as the sequence number
! 119: wraps around (and this may be okay, in principle) and the program goes
! 120: astray.
! 121:
! 122: Precisely, the delay measurements are set to 0 after the wrap around.
! 123: Since hping2 is written so cleanly (thanks), I was able to quickly
! 124: correct the problem:
! 125: (strange, I think hping2 is very hugly code... I wrote it with
! 126: too little coding experience)
! 127:
! 128: BTW now the issue is fixed, MANY thanks to Francesco Portori'.
! 129:
! 130: DD FIX: -seqnum (endianess IIRC) fixed.
! 131: DD FIX: Random fix to manpage and code.
! 132: NJ FIX/ADD: BSD network interfaces related code.
! 133: DD ADD: French translation of the hping documentation, under docs/french/
! 134:
! 135: 6 July 2000 -- 2.0.0 beta54, raw IP mode, bug fixing, NetBSD support, ...
! 136: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
! 137:
! 138: Solaris support still not present, a patch was provided by
! 139: Lorenzo Lazzieri but I did not have a solaris box to perform
! 140: some test, give me some solarix 2.[67] root account if you
! 141: need hping2 ported to solaris. Sorry, but my sparc S4 died
! 142: not long ago.
! 143:
! 144: FIX: the stupid nop.c no longer exist.
! 145: FIX: tcp sequence number and ack visualization bug for lacks of ntohl()!
! 146: FIX: minor coding bugs fixed, minor code cleanup
! 147: FIX: man pages path now is obtained from MANPATH
! 148: FIX: new *BSD ethernet under getlhs.c
! 149: ADD: NetBSD support (thanks to Yann Berthier)
! 150: ADD: settable checksum
! 151: ADD: now TCP sequence number and ack are settable.
! 152: SA ADD: bad checksum option (-b --badcksum).
! 153: ADD: settable fragment offset.
! 154: ADD: raw IP mode.
! 155: ADD: out of sequence packets counter (only with -r option).
! 156: ADD: documentation updated and a bit improved.
! 157:
! 158: 20 Nov 1999 -- 2.0.0 beta 53, important bug fixed
! 159: -------------------------------------------------
! 160:
! 161: Contrary to my hope this beta go out without Solaris support nor deep
! 162: testing under BSD systems. This because beta-53 FIX: some important bugs
! 163: so I think it's better to release it as soon as possible. I hope that
! 164: beta-54 will be more tested under BSD and will contain a first Solaris
! 165: support. Please, send me bug report/suggestions first beta-54 release, AZ
! 166:
! 167: AZ ADD: man page updated.
! 168: AZ FIX: a very dirty bug introduced in hping2-beta49, it was in waitpacket.c,
! 169: all offset was computed using the ip header length of the last packet, and
! 170: for the first incoming packet using uninitialized bytes. I suggest you
! 171: upgrade ASAP.
! 172: AZ ADD: enhanced configure and Makefile. Now "./configure; make" should
! 173: be enough at least under Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. configure has options,
! 174: try ./configure --help. Also FIX: a `make clean' issue.
! 175: AZ FIX: a bug in rtt.c, in some circumstance it returned a negative rtt,
! 176: also ADD: an initial sanity check for faster problem tracing in rtt.c.
! 177: Now sent packets are registered into 'delay table' *before* of sending, I
! 178: think this isn't the better way to do a good timing, but since original ping
! 179: program use this way and it avoids some problem hping now use this solution.
! 180: AZ FIX: parseoptions.c, some parser fix and more limits for non root users.
! 181: AZ ADD: better hgetopt.c, now it's possible to combine short options like
! 182: -S -F etc in -SF. The same kind of bug seems still unfixed in gcc and ssh.
! 183: AZ if_promisc.c no longer compiled/linked since it isn't used by hping2.
! 184: I leave this file here for possible future new features. It will be needed
! 185: only for Linux since to set promiscuous mode with libpcap it is not useful.
! 186: AZ ADD:/FIX: getlhs.c updated, now system dependent, BSD ethernet names
! 187: updated thx to Rui Miguel Barbosa Machado <rmbm@rccn.net>,
! 188: FIX: BSD PPP link header size (I hope). Please send me a mail if you
! 189: successfully run hping2 under PPP interface on BSD.
! 190: AZ ADD: new `utils' directory added and the simple utility hex2bin
! 191: AZ ADD: distribution enhanced, CHANGES was extracted from TODO, MIRRORS contain
! 192: a mirrors list, BUGS the bug report form, others files added.
