I am running into some problems trying to activate snort. I seem to be able to run it fine from my Ubuntu's /usr/src/snort/snort-2.8.3.2 and /etc/snort directory, but when I try to run it from /usr/local/bin, I get the fullowing error message:
Code:
@thunder:/usr/local/bin$ snort -v
Running in packet dump mode
--== Initializing Snort ==--
Initializing Output Plugins!
Verifying Preprocessor Configurations!
ERROR: Failed to lookup for interface: no suitable device found. Please specify one with -i switch
Fatal Error, Quitting..
Here is what it looks like when I run it successfully:
Code:
root@thunder:/etc/snort# snort -v
Running in packet dump mode
--== Initializing Snort ==--
