I wrote up an article relating to this a little while ago, called
"Introduction to IDS and IPS concepts" On a wiki I'm hosting on my
website. I would see people ask the same question constantly "how do I
get traffic to snort?" So took it upon myself to make a page that
explains how to pass traffic to your sensor.

https://www.blindseeker.com/wiki/Introduction_to_IDS_and_IPS_concepts

Also, at the bottom of the page are solid references to the wireshark
wiki for traffic acquisition techniques with more illustrations.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nanda,

For Enterprise grade Routers/AP's you can use SAPN/TAP mode or Port
Mirroring to achieve your requirement.

AP which you are using might not support Port Mirroring. Just by enabling
Promiscous mode on the machine which is running Snort will not solve the
purpose, you should enable Promiscous mode on the Interface which ur
Snort
machine is connected and which is difficult to do.

Hope this helps.

You can't sniff packets of other devices?  Well, no, you can't do that.
You need to sniff from the device the traffic is actually on.

I am a newbie of Snort IDS. I installed Snort 2.9.6.0 on ubuntu. I want
to sniff packets from all the devices connected to wifi router and get
alerts based on some rules I defined. I manually setup NIC to
promiscuous
mode. My problem is that I cannot sniff packets of other devices. Am
getting
packet information of only laptop on which Snort is running.

I used following command:

$ sudo snort -c  snort.conf -A console -i wlan0

Output:
           Preprocessor Object: SF_DNP3  Version 1.1  <Build 1>
