I used mac80211_hwsim create a virtual interface, looks like the following
wlan0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr
02-00-00-00-00-00-3A-30-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
When I ran snort as the following
sudo snort -A console -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i wlan0
After all the information printed out, I've got the following error:
...
pcap DAQ configured to passive.
Acquiring network traffic from "wlan0".
