2006-04-xx v.1.5.1
Fix bug in nfdump.c: Writing anonymized flows to file did not work corretly
stdin input format now compatible with file format, therefore
'nfdump < file' works again as it did in nfdump 1.4.
Fix bug in nfcapd.c: Error handling not correct when receiving a non
recognized netflow packet. Resulted in an endless loop
2006-03-27 snapshot 1.5-20060327
Make all element statistics -s transport layer protocol
independant by default. Add :p to stat name ( e.g. srcip:p ) to
enable transport layer dependant statistics on request.
2006-03-20 snapshot 1.5-20060320
Fix bug in filter engine: 'not flags xyz' produces wrong results
when more than a single flag is specified.
Minor man page fixes.
2006-03-06 v1.5
Fix bug nfcapd. Laucher signaled too early. File not yet properly
closed.
2006-02-14 v1.5-beta-5
Add srcas, dstas, input and output interfaces in aggregated
output.
Fix IPv6 bug in filter: accept 1234:: address.
rename nfcapd.curent tmp file to nfcapd.curren.<pid>. Poorly
configured nfcapd processes may mess up themselves otherwise.
2006-02-02 v1.5-beta-4
Fix netflow v5 dPkts <-> dOctets collector bug.
Update pipe format to include more information
Allow AS number 0 in filter syntax.
Add some more boundary checking - netflow exporters aren't bug free either - sigh ..
2006-01-11 v1.5-beta-3
Fix isnumber incompatibility in grammer.y
Add 'if' statistics
2006-01-10 v1.5-beta-2
nf_common.c Fix bug in format parser.
Extended 'proto <protocol>' syntax to support all protocols
Change time format in summary line to ISO format
2005-12-20 v1.5-beta-1
*.* A lot of internal changes, not mentioned here. :(
nfdump Add subnet aggregation for option -A
A new syntax e.g. srcip4/24, dstip6/64 is supported for subnet wise aggregation.
example: traffic of a whole subnet -A srcip4/24 -s srcip/bytes
nfdump Add more stat element option. -s <stat> now supports:
srcip, dstip, ip, srcport, dstport, port, srcas, dstas, as, inif, outif, proto
nfdump Add -z. Suppress writing flows to data files. Only stat information is written.
nfprofile Used only be nfsen for upcoming shadow profiles. If you don't understand this
simply ignore it.
nfdump Add -q option to suppress header as well as stat information at the bottom
nfprofile for easier post processing with external programms.
nf_common.c Output format processsing rewritting for more flexibility. Besides standard
nfdump.c output formats line, long extended etc., user defined output formats are now
possible and can even be compiled into nfdump for easy access. See -o fmt:<format>
and nfdump.c around line 100.
*.* Integrate netflow v9 into nfdump. Only a subset of v9 is stored into
the data files, basically everything needed for nfdump to work as it did before.
This also includes IPv6 support for any nfdump options. CryptoPAN extended
to work with IPv6. IPv6 condensed output format for better readability.
Output formats available in long and condensed mode: e.g. line -> line6
extended -> extended6
*.* Replace binary data file format. Old format not flexible enough for
upcoming netflow v9/sflow data. *.stat files are gone. The same
information is now available under nfdump -I
New format about 5% larger in size, but faster for reading and writing.
speed gain eaten up by more complex processing - sigh ..
compat14 mode enables transparent reading of old style format.
nffile.[ch] now handles all data file stuff.
nfreplay Multicast enabled:
Add -j <join group>. Joins the specified multicast group ( v4 or v6 )
sending flows to this group.
nfreplay IPv6 enabled:
Add option -4 and -6 to force a specific protocol, otherwise
protocol is automatically selected according the hostname to send flows to.
Add -K key, to send data anonymized, using CryptoPAn
nfcapd Multicast enabled:
Add -j <join group>. Joins the specified multicast group ( v4 or v6 )
for listening.
nfcapd IPv6 enabled:
Add option -4 and -6 for IPv4 and IPv6. By default, listen on IPv4.
Option -b <host/IP> to bind for a specific host/IP address automatically
selects appropriate protocol.
nfnet.c All functions to setup network sockets for listening/sending are
put into this file.
