Got "Socket type not supported!" Error, when start snort in WSL kali #3216

Mithrilwoodrat · 2018-05-19T11:16:06Z

Windows build number : 10.0.16299.431

Trying to start snort in command line, Got Socket type not supported! error.
Command Output

Acquiring network traffic from "lo".
ERROR: Can't start DAQ (-1) - socket for SIOCETHTOOL(ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO): Socket type not supported!
Fatal Error, Quitting..

strace snort.strace

according to socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_RAW, 0) = -1 ESOCKTNOSUPPORT (Socket type not supported) ,
it seemss this problem related to AF_UNIX support in WSL.

I found an Issue about this #134. And there is also a blog saying it's supported in Insider Build 17063.
Can I fixed this if I update my windows system to newer vesion?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

therealkenc · 2018-05-19T17:31:28Z

SOCK_RAW is #717 #1383 and friends. #134 is AF_UNIX with SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM.

MA24th · 2019-02-07T18:58:53Z

MS PEOPLE PLZ SOLVE THE FUCKING AF_UNIX PROPLAM ON WSL.

moralrebuild · 2019-02-13T03:40:26Z

hitting this issue with latest Windows 10 updates (2019 Feb), please fixed it instead of muting the complaining voice

ghost · 2019-02-20T04:08:34Z

Still a problem on win 10 build 17763.316.. back to a VM.. nice try M$

Qrbaker · 2019-12-15T19:15:45Z

Yep, issue is still present and makes tcpdump et. al useless as of build 18363.535.

moises-gonzalez · 2020-04-13T18:23:43Z

Humm, I'm, seeing this Issue and I think would be better use Kali as Virtual environment in VMBOX.

Djoraan · 2020-04-30T12:11:11Z

therealkenc · 2020-07-20T17:03:41Z

Why this issue is closed still have same problem.

Because it is duplicative #717, #1930, others. But you know that because of the tag at the top of the page.

Hi,

Just got this issue on the latest version of Windows 10 with Kali Linux.

Will we have a fix for the issue? For what I can see it has been around for a long time and it is closed for some reason.

GoodspeedAmar · 2020-11-07T10:06:25Z

Any one please .. help / hint / Guide... hunting this issue since 1 week now.. still no Clue..

For ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO you need WSL2.

ttellerx · 2021-05-02T14:42:37Z

STILL THERE:

Does Microsoft want WSL to be really like Linux or not ?
This breaks stuff I'm doing so its back to VMWare and a working UBUNTU VM.

"workaround ?> remove WSL > install Linux VM :D :D :D 👍 MS 👯 on Linux wanting to making Lindows .. tell me I'm crazy but I think they are planning something with all these issues .. some hybrid MS dominated Linux flavor of sorts ...."
