I would like to know how suricata can listen on the network, because I implemented the solution in a linux machine, configured the home network and the interface to listen on, forwarded the logs to elk siem, and I started to see the communication between all the machines in the home network.
I’m really confused because I did not configure port mirroring …
Hi! What kind of traffic are you seeing. Are you sure it’s just not traffic between your Suricata box and other machines on you network. You should also see ARP packages and multicast DNS among other things.
Well, something is sending those packets to your Suricata box. This is not something that Suriata can do by itself. Are you connected to some ancient hub?
