+Mon Mar 29 09:23:49 PST 2004 1.1.2.1
+
+ Fixed a typo in the ICMP patch mentioned below.
+
+Thu Mar 25 10:49:04 PST 2004 1.1.2
+
+ Fixed the ICMP error message builders (there was a pblock assembly bug
+ that would prevent you from building more than one ICMP {unreach, time
+ exceed, redirect} in succession; the order of operations has changed
+ slightly for building these packets, see the documenation and sample code
+ Added a Sebek builder
+ Fixed a bug in libnet_autobuild_arp() that had it pulling in the address to
+ a pointer instead of just the address
+ Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to configure.in
+ Changed the __libnet_dump* namespace to the more descriptive libnet_diag*
+ Added libnet_getpacket_size() to return the size of a packet in a given l
+ Removed "protocol" from the libnet context. It was a waste of four bytes
+ The raw socket interface always uses the "IPPROTO_RAW" protocol
+ Fixed a memory leak in the advanced interface; there is now a function
+ libnet_adv_free_packet() to free the memory allocated for the packet
+ when libnet_adv_cull_packet() is called
+ Fixed a bug on big endian boxes that had TCP and UDP checksums with odd
+ payloads come out incorrect
+ Changes all error messages to look and feel the same:
+ "%s(): foo\n", __func__
+ Added a bunch of htons/htonl fixes
+ Continued to add to the doxygen-based documentation
+ Added support for unconfigured interfaces
+ Changed the number of interfaces libnet can handle from 32 to 512
+ Removed uneeded control structure cruft from libnet_link_dlpi.c
+ Removed sample/ip.c and added sample/ip_link.c and sample/ip_raw.c
+ Added IPv6 fragmentation header builder
+ Added IPv6 routing information header builder
+ Added IPv6 destination options header builder
+ Fixed IPv6 flowlabel and traffic class bitwise math
+
+Tue Nov 25 15:33:27 PST 2003 1.1.1
+
+ Fixed a bug in libnet_build_icmp_redirect: htonl(gateway) --> gateway.
+ Added icmp_redirect.c sample code.
+ Added libnet_autobuild_arp().
+ Added a slightly faster checksum.
+ Added a GRE builder.
+ Fixed a buffer overflow in libnet_build_dhcp().
+ Added more sanity checks to ensure we have proper link or network layer
+ headers when not in advanced mode.
+ Fixed a bug that would sometimes make __libnet_dump_context() crash under
+ linux.
+ Migration from sprintf and strcpy snprintf and strncpy.
+ Fixed bug in libnet_build_ipv4() when calculating size of memory block
+ Removed the support directory -- if you're an OLD version of OpenBSD or
+ FreeBSD you deserve what you get.
+ Added a BGP builder.
+ Changed the error handing functions to be more consistent and use
+ __FUNCTION__.
+ Fixed a bug in libnet_pblock_free() -- replaced it with
+ libnet_pblock_delete().
+ Fixed all of the inconsistencies inside all of the builders and pblock code
+ where some fringe conditions could result in u_longs being crunched into
+ u_shorts.
+ Fixed libnet_pblock_coalesce() to only require one pass through the list.
+ Added better diagnostics (__libnet_dump_context(), __libnet_dump_pblock()).
+ Added Token Ring and FDDI builders (Linux and Solaris only).
+ Added Token Ring and FDDI sample programs.
+ Fixed the handling of TCP and IP payloads when reusing a pblocks.
+ Fixed the handling of IP headers such that if a TCP packet changes size
+ via subsequent calls to libnet_build_tcp(), the IP header automatically
+ changes size as well.
+ Added libnet_pblock_delete() to remove a pblock from the list.
+ Added ip.c sample program (builds an arbitrary IP packet).
+ Added additional payload sanity checks to libnet_build_*.
+ Added a payload to sample/icmp_echo_cq.c.
+ Added an MPLS builder.
+ Added an 802.1x builder.
+ Added an RPC builder! Bout time eh?
+ Fixed do1x.c sample code to make the frame valid.
+ Fixed link-interface semantics under Mac/OSX
+ Changed libnet_stats to all be unsigned long longs to accomodate all of
+ hardcore packet writers.
+ Fixed IPv6 support (to some extent) removed the IP_HDRINCL stuff and
+ reworked the resolver stuff to use net_pton() and inet_ntop().
+ Fixed libnet_build_icmpv4_*() to properly handle the IP header in the
+ payload.
+ Fixed libnet_build_igmp() to handle checksums properly.
+ Fixed a bug in libnet_build_dnsv4() -- now it will work for TCP or UDP --
+ see the sample program for details...
+ Fixed a bug in sample/dhcp_discover.c
+ Added multiple packet interface (called the context queue interface).
+ Until I finish the manpage, see the sample code and README files
+ for instructions on how it works.
+ Fixed Cygwin support.
+ Fixed an OS/X compilation error due to lack of system header files.
+ Fixed OS/X link layer bug.
+ Fixed a bug in pblock_coalesce() that resulted in bad checksums when the
+ advanced mode was enabled.
+ Fixed a potential memory leak in pblock_coalesce().
+ Fixed a potential memory leak in libnet_select_device().
+ Fixed a potential memory leak in libnet_plist_chain_new().
+ Fixed Solaris support for IPv6 address support.
+ Fixed minor bugs in libnet_advanced.c.
+ Added loopback device support.
+
+
+Mon Aug 5 15:18:52 PDT 2002 1.1.0
+
+ First 1.1.0 non-beta release.
+
+ Added libnet_adv_write_link() which allows an advanced user to access
+ libnet's low-level frame injection functionality directly.
+
+
+Wed Jul 10 08:18:15 PDT 2002 1.1.0 Beta 07b
+
+ Added some words to the manpage.
+
+ Fixed a typo in libnet-functions.h -- forgot a comma.
+
+
+Sun Jul 7 10:37:12 PDT 2002 1.1.0 Beta 07a
+
+ My bad. Forgot to `make distclean` before last release resulting in some
+ compilation errors.
+
+ My bad. Forgot to add advanced *_ADV writing support to libnet_write().
+ Simple fix.
+
+
+Tue Jul 2 08:42:57 PDT 2002 1.1.0 Beta 07
+
+ BETA support for IPv6.
+
+ Fixed the IP and TCP options bugs that bound the TCP and IP payloads to
+ the IP and TCP headers respectively and saw options being appended
+ after the payload.
+
+ Added libnet_hex_aton(). This functions reads in arbirtrarily long hex
+ strings from the command line and returns the equivalent byte string. It
+ does an implicit malloc() so make sure to free().
+
+ Frédéric Raynal submitted a patch to break the coalesce loop down to two
+ passes using realloc resulting in a modest performance increase! Cool!
+
+ Added "Advanced Mode" which will initialize the library with additional
+ functionality for advanced users who "know what they're doing". Basically
+ this feature will remove some of the sanity checks libnet does when
+ building and injecting packets, at the programmer's peril. It also exposes
+ the libnet_adv() functions.
+
+ FINALLY changed that irritating struct ether_addr redefintion problem.
+ I internalized the name space of it (-> libnet_ether_addr) so there will
+ be no more issues there. Please update your code accordingly!
+
+ Added IGMP checksum support which was omitted by accident.
+
+ Removed netinet/ip_icmp.h from include list. This was causing problems
+ when including dnet.h which includes other system headers. We can
+ probably stand to remove several headers from libnet.h.in.
+
+ Added sanity check to ensure that when *build_ethernet() is called the
+ injection method is LIBNET_LINK (except when advanced mode is on).
+
+
+Thu Mar 28 22:18:46 PST 2002 1.1.0 Beta 06
+
+ Fixed ICMP unreachable checksum error and payload issues. Now using the
+ payload interface with unreachables will append the payload to the IPv4
+ header of the "offending packet".
+
+ Split STP builder into two; libnet_build_stp_conf() and
+ libnet_build_stp_tcn().
+
+ New CHANGELOG format. :)
+
+
+Mar 24 2002 1.1.0 Beta 05
+
+ New building logic. Top down. Much smarter, we now build packets and
+ frames like an OS kernel.
+
+ Added Cisco ISL builder.
+
+
+Mar 18 2002 1.1.0 Beta 04
+
+ Added an STP builder.
+
+ Hooks for Cisco ISL builder.
+
+ Changed libnet_init() to now accept an IP address for the device (so
+ either "fxp0" or "192.168.0.1" will work).
+
+ Added libnet_clear_packet() to free packet memory when we're done with it.
+
+
+Feb 28 2002 1.1.0 Beta 03
+
+ Added 802.1q, 802.2, 802.3 builders.
+
+
+Feb 25 2002 1.1.0 Beta 02
+
+ Fixed Cygwin support.
+
+
+Feb 01 2002 1.1.0 Beta 01
+
+ Complete new API and overhaul of most everything.
+
+ Improved linux packet socket support.
+
+ Renamed libnet_host_lookup() and libnet_name_resolve() to the more
+ intuitive libnet_addr2name() and libnet_name2addr().
+
+ All of the address resolution functions return host byte order (which
+ is what the build functions want).
+
+ Removed a ton of code from every corner of libnet.
+
+ Removed alot of useless crap:
+ misc directory
+ ports directory
+ util directory
+ cleaned out the test directory and moved it to sample
+
+ The libnet-config script is no longer needed to specify machine
+ endianess -- that has been moved to libnet.h and done at compile time.
+ You can still use it to specify other CPP constants as well as
+ libraries.
+
+ Added cygwin support.
+
+ Hooks for a few ieee 802 builders.
+
+ Added NTP builder.
+
+ Added DHCP builder.
+
+ Added BOOTP builder.
+
+ Added Cisco CDP builder (needs work).
+
+ Added IPSEC builder (needs work).

+ Fixed the config.sub to correctly look for arm*
+ architecture.
+ Fixed the test.sh script
+ (Thankz again to syke).
+
+ 1.0.2 02.03.2001 Added OpenBSD 2.7 etherspoof lkm and kernel patch.
+ (Thankz to obecian).
+ Added FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE (and 5.0-CURRENT?)
+ etherspoof kernel patch.
+ (Thankz to Matt Bing).
+ Added FreeBSD 4 support for automagic MAC address
+ spoofing (via ioctl). No more lkm!
+ (Thankz to Toni Andjelkovic).
+ Added VRRP support.
+ Fixed a NULL pointer check in libnet_checksum.c.
+ (Thankz to syke).
+ Fixed a function naming problem in libnet_if_addr.c.
+ (Thankz to gigisull).
+ Fixed a potential byte error in libnet_version.
+ (Thankz to wotan).
+ Fixed a potential overflow in
+ libnet_link_sockpacket.c and libnet_link_dlpi.c.
+ (Thankz to Jarno Huuskonen).
+ Fixed a manpage discrepancy (get_ip_addr returns
+ host-byte, not network-byte).
+ Fixed arena allocation code (misalignments and
+ whatnot) and arena manpage entry (2 arguments
+ were swapped).
+ (Thankz to Bryan T. Schmersal).
+ Fixed datatype discrepancies (u_char was used
+ liberally when char should have been used).
+ (Thankz to Kyle Hargraves).
+ Fixed the PF_PACKET interface to work correctly.
+ (Thankz to Smiler).
+
+ 1.0.1b 04.07.2000 Fixed portlist chaining code to allow for more than
+ one active plist chain at a time (as per twitch's
+ patch).
+ Fixed discrepancy between the manpage and code for
+ libnet_close_link_interface. It now returns 1 on
+ success as per libnet standard (thankz to Toni
+ Andjelkovic for pointing this out).
+
+ 1.0.1a 03.29.2000 Fixed a small bug in libnet_link_dlpi.c.
+
+ 1.0.1 12.19.1999 Fixed a typo in libnet-headers.h ARH_H -> ARP_H.
+ Fixed a small typo in ether_mod-2.5.c.
+ Pre-happy BD to libnet! She'z almost 2 yearz old!
+
+ 1.0.0 10.27.1999 Added verbose html documentation.
+ Added verbosely commented example code.
+ Fixed OSPF testcode compile issues.
+ Added ping of death ICMP test code module.
+ Fixed manpage installation wrongness.
+ Fixed a reported bug in OpenBSD etherspoof lkm.
+ Merged OSPF lsa checksum code into main checksum
+ module.
+ Fixed a reported bug in the Makefile.in under
+ Solaris when make install was invoked, the ln
+ failed.
+ Fixed linux-based IP broadcasting using the
+ raw sockets interface.
+
+ 0.99g 09.13.1999 Added an OSPF builder (which is still in beta).
+ Fixed the Linux/configure.in bug. This was an odd
+ bug that affected Linux-based boxes, but not
+ BSD-based machines. The configure script refused
+ to expand most of the Makefile.in macros in every file
+ because of a conditional check.
+ Fixed some Makefile.in issues.
+
+ 0.99f 09.09.1999 Changed test/poink.c to not rely on a previous
+ install of libnet to compile.
+ Added a redhat RPM.
+ Changed sourcefile naming scheme to libnet_*.
+ Removed all assertions from the tree.
+ We are moving closer to a 1.0 release and
+ assertions have no place in production code.
+ Furthermore, there should be no exit points
+ inside a library. Currently, all functions that
+ made assertions now return an integral 1 upon
+ success and a -1 when the assertion would have
+ failed (some had to be changed from returning
+ void to returning int). This will not break
+ backward compatbility.
+ Fixed bugs in the arena code.
+ next_packet_from_arena would never return the
+ first chunk of memory, only the "next". It
+ now handles this special case. Thanks to
+ Sascha Gresk for locating this bug.
+ Fixed another potential bug when attempting
+ to allocate large packet sizes inside an arena.
+ Added an OpenBSD 2.5 ether_spoof lkm.
+ Fixed TCP options bugs.
+
+ 0.99e 07.21.1999 Modified the libnet-config script to work more
+ intutively now. It accepts multiple arguments.
+ See README.libnet-config.
+ Solaris m4/sh fixes (autoconf phase).
+ Internal error handling changed to use libnet_error.
+
+ 0.99d 06.24.1999 Added: build_icmp_redirect().
+ Added: FreeBSD 3.x support for spoofing source.
+ Added: libnet_error().
+ Added: port list chaining code.
+ MAC addrresses (see README.bpf).
+ Bugfix: libnet_select_device correctly accepts
+ NULL device arguments.
+ Bugfix: build_icmp.c now copies the correct amount
+ of header information.
+ Bugfix: OpenBSD needs HAVE_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN.
+ Changed: write_ip internal semantics. Cleaner
+ and faster now.
+ Changed: init_packet argument parameters. More
+ correct now. Takes a u_short vs. a size_t.
+
+ 0.99c 05.28.1999 link_int -> libnet_link_int.
+ Misc small testcode fixes.
+ Added libnet_tcp_header and libnet_ip_header.
+ Added libnet-config shell script, see
+ README.libnet-config and the manpage.
+ Updated ports.
+ Revamped checksum module -- it's much simpler
+ and more efficient (ripped out arch specific
+ code which seemed to be buggy with series' of
+ very large packets). Dug Song wrote it, with
+ small fixes/changes by MDS.
+
+ 0.99b 05.06.1999 Fixed a nasty UDP/TCP + data checksum bug.
+ Header structure further divided into subfiles.
+ Moved get_hwaddr into low-level interface locales.
+ Fixed the BSD get_hwaddr (dugsong@anzen.com).
+ Ported to BSD/OS 3.x.
+ Added `LIBNET_VERSION` symbolic constant.
+ build_ip with payload semantics changed (now
+ requires a payload length which is more
+ intuitive).
+ Fixed the `disappearing MAC address problem`
+ within the linux version of get_hwaddr().
+
+ 0.99a 04.14.1999 Linux 2.0.x kernels don't have <net/ethernet.h>
+ 0.99 included this header file without checking
+ to see if it present. This is now fixed.
+ Non-x86 systems have no tcp_check function but the
+ stub.c sourcefile did not check this. This is now
+ fixed.
+ Added the utilities directory and get_mac.c.
+
+ 0.99 04.13.1999 Major manpage redux.
+ Added (broken?) PF_PACKET support for Linux (see
+ README.linux).
+ Moved alot of m4 from configure.in to aclocal.m4.
+ Added Linux m4 macro to detect PF_PACKET.
+ Added build_icmp_unreach
+ Added build_icmp_timestamp
+ Added standard nomenclature for all the ICMP
+ type/code symbolic constants (see the manpage).
+ Changed internal network structure nomenclature.
+ Decided to stop using the word nomenclature so much.
+ Fixed semantics of get_ipaddr (s/PF_INET/AF_INET).
+ Added a symlink in the install directory so libnet
+ is also named `libpwrite`.
+ Added ASN.1 conversion routines, mostly pilfered
+ from ucd snmplib.
+ Removed get_hwaddr from sockpacket.c and made the
+ existing one portable to Linux.
+ Added more testcode and changed testcode structure
+ to be more intuitive.
+ Added init_packet and destroy_packet.
+ Added an arena allocator.
+ Fixed alignment issues on SPARC and Alpha
+ (possibly others with strict alignment
+ requirements).
+ Added a packet dumping routine. Not fully tested.
+ Testcode updates including a master testcode shell
+ script.
+ Added stub functions to ease the eventual
+ transition to a more proper `libnet_*` function
+ naming convention. See README.stubs for more
+ info.
+
+ 0.10a 02.04.1999 Added the libnet.s2h configuration file to the
+ distribution.
+ GLIBC fix.
+
+ 0.10 01.31.1999 Many low-level changes, same interface though.
+ Split up the main libnet.h file into two files.
+ Autoconf changes:
+ checks to see if the underlying architecture
+ needs to be aligned.
+ flexible install location.
+ explicitly set $CC option in Makefile.in.
+ Added ensure-dir.sh.

+ 0.9 12.15.1998 Major changes/additions here...
+ Added lowlevel packet building and writing
+ routines with a codebase from libpcap.
+ Broken DPLI support (fixme!).
+ Added ethernet and ARP building routines.
+ Added ICMP_ECHO building routine which led to the
+ Discovery of an odd kernel panic bug under
+ OpenBSD (see hook.c in test dir).
+ Added IGMP building routine.
+ Reworked autoconf script.
+ Fixed Linux ip_sum vs. ip_csum naming issue.
+ Fixed Solaris checksums (2.4, 2.5.x).
+ Added NetBSD autoconf entry.
+ Changed BSD_BYTE_SWAP semantics to correctly handle
+ IP datagrams through BPF (see write_ip.c).
+
+ 0.8c 11.10.1998 Added more testcode.
+
+ 0.8b 10.21.1998 OK. I THINK WE'VE FINALLY FIXED THAT GLIBC THING.
+ Ported to alpha Linux.
+
+ 0.8a 10.15.1998 Added support for IP TOS bits (oops. Broke
+ backward compatibility again. Like I said, don't
+ rely on this until 1.x).

+ 0.7b 09.22.1998 Linux glibc/libc nomenclature anomoly still there.
+ Fixed Linux/BSD icmp header size problem.
+
+ 0.7a 08.26.1998 Fixed payload support (see test code).
+
+ 0.7 08.25.1998 Solaris port (checksums broken -- Solaris has gay
+ fucking quirks when it comes to checksumming on
+ raw sockets).
+ Added autoconf scripts.
+ Added psuedorandom number generation code.
+ Added payload support (breaks backward
+ compatability and is untested).
+
+ 0.6 06.21.1998 Fixed UDP checksum. Removed USE_NAME CPP option
+ made it a run time decision. Makes code more

+
+ 0.5 06.02.1998 Added TCP/UDP/IP packet assembly routines.
+ Added a checksum function.
