TODO
0.1 for 0.2.0 version
- write Makefile.EDITME and config.h.EDITME
- atexit and cleanup functions (also use of _exit)
- unprintable-to-hex displays unuseful <0d> carachter: to be fixed
- not all connections closes: to be fixed
- improve BSD compatibility by testing it
- fix fields alignation
- managing DLT_LOOP, DLT_IEEE802_11 and DLT_NULL fully tested
- fix all bugs in KNOWN-BUGS (VERY IMPORTANT) (and fix all FIXME's)
- do a test to se if after hours of full working tcpick enters
in segmentation fault
- host lookup continues when some addresses do not have names:
(should be fixed, but I'm not sure)
- download a big ftp file and verify if it is grabbed all correctly
- italian/english documentation and manpages (important!)
- good homepage for tcpick (italian too)
- _all_ documentation in texinfo and html format (including README ecc)
- complete INTERNALS file (there is lot to write)
0.2 for 0.3.0 version:
- add acknowledged stream banner (i.e. “data (offset:1234) sent from client: foobar”)
- balanced/avl tree in the connection tracking engine
- improve speed by using function pointers
- detect RESET status
- detect TIMEOUT status
- increase tracking speed by adding a hash function or a `memcmp'
(thanks to mainman's experience)
- increase speed by adding multithreading
- add a “turbo” mode (with the ./configure remove features)
- print only some status (i.e. only ESTABLISHED)
- custom filenaming pattern
- writing the offsets and seqs to file and terminal
colors
- ability to enable/disable _detailed_ header printing
- write name lookups to a file (useful?)
- signal handling
- exit after a number of packets / connections
- better data handling
- not all connection are writing every packet received
- sometimes there are a lot of 0's bytes written to memory, because
there are no data received!
- statistics:
- bytes/second, connections resetted, connections/hour
- total connections
- total bytes transferred by {clients|servers}
- total packets received / lost
- use the other nice libpcap functions (fully)
0.3 for the far future
- autodetect and name ftp and http files
- autodect and decrypt ssh/ssl connections
- "spider" mode: make a path of all urls visited by some hosts
(that will be a nice mode to see what kind of sites are hosts visiting)
- <?> ncurses/gtk fork/front-end </?> (very unuseful, yet)
- RFC1149 compatibility and RFC3514 support
