[open_sockraw] socket(): Protocol not supported.

[fhackman]

whenever i use hping3 i get the following error
[open_sockraw] socket(): Protocol not supported.
[main] can’t open raw socket
please Help me

Raw sockets are currently only limited to the ICMP protocol. If you can share the strace (strace -o <cmd> -ff <trace_file>, we can identify what exactly is missing/going on. Thanks for trying out WSL!

Also, do identify which Windows build you are on.

I have the same error when running
$ tcptraceroute host 1883
libnet_init() failed: libnet_open_raw4(): SOCK_RAW allocation failed: Protocol not supported

$ sudo traceroute -T -p port host
socket: Protocol not supported

Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.953)

@madisonleavo - Thanks for your feedback. Yes, tracepath/traceroute currently does not work on WSL. See #717. I am marking this duplicate. Here is the user voice page for the same, please upvote if you would like us to prioritize this.

Also, we have made significant updates to WSL since the 14393 build (Anniversary Update). You will definitely have a better experience with WSL if you can upgrade.
