Re: Compiling and Running Snort 2.9.8.0 on MAC OSX 10.11.3 (El Capitan)

Here is a URL to get the device listings in MacOS X at the command line:

http://osxdaily.com/2014/09/03/list-all-network-hardware-from-the-command-line-in-os-x/

It would appear that interface names start with 'en' in MacOS (from what is
listed in the URL)...

I don’t think that the interface would be called “eth0” on a mac.  You may
want to make sure you have the right device specified.

I have a macbook pro running El Capitan. (OSX 10.11.3)

I See the following Errors when I run Snort.

$ sudo snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf --daq pcap --daq-mode passive -i
eth0 -k none

pcap DAQ configured to passive.

Acquiring network traffic from "eth0".

ERROR: Can't start DAQ (-1) - BIOCSETIF failed: Device not configured!

Fatal Error, Quitting..


BTW - when I configured DAQ, this was the outcome.

$cd daq-2.0.6

./configure --disable-afpacket-module

...

Build AFPacket DAQ module.. : no
Build Dump DAQ module...... : yes
Build IPFW DAQ module...... : yes
Build IPQ DAQ module....... : no
Build NFQ DAQ module....... : no
Build PCAP DAQ module...... : yes
Build netmap DAQ module.... : no


Any pointers appreciated.
