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().
62: MM FIX: seq/ack setting using strtoul() instead of atoi(), thanks
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.
