Connecting OctoSniff To Game Consoles: Wired To PC Guide (Recommended)

Updated on April 17, 2026

In this guide, we will provide instructions on how to utilize Octosniff through both a VPN and a standard WiFi adapter or Lan2Lan. While the wired method may be slightly more complex, it is recommended as it does not require an ARP spoofing attack.

Requirements.

  • A laptop or Desktop with a WiFi Card or 2 Lan ports (ie usb2Lan adapter and 1 default Lan Port).
  • WiFi Signal with a consitent 90% Signal.
  • Make sure your game console is powered off.
  • You can check your wifi signal strength by opening CMD and pasting netsh wlan show interfaces hit enter.

Setting up ICS.

  1. Open OctoSniff, Your PC's internet adapter should automatically be selected.
  2. Click Hotspot on the left sidebar.
  3. Public Adapter should be your PC's internet adapter. (if you want to game on a VPN change this to the VPN adapter).
  4. Private Adapter select the Ethernet your Game Console is using.
  5. Click Enable Sharing.
  6. On your Game Console setup a wired connection.

Setting up OctoSniff.

  1. Click the adapter on the bottom left of the sidebar.
  2. Choose the Ethernet Adapter your console is using. (IP for it should be 192.168.137.1)
  3. Click "ARP Spoofing" on the left sidebar.
  4. Click "Scan Network" in the top right.

  7. Enable a Game Filter if the game you are on has one. Click Filters => Community Filters. 8: Once the Filter is selected make sure it says Highlight then click Apply 9: Click the Network on the left side bar, Then click Start Sniff 10: Check the Filtered Traffic if you see no data, the filter needs to be updated and the traffic will appear in All Traffic.

Maximizing Game Filters.

  • It is important to only use game filters while actively playing the game in question.
  • Having multiple filters enabled during a game may cause overlap, resulting in confusion.
  • To avoid this, we recommend only leaving party chat filters on while playing a game.
  • When switching to a different game, turn off the previous filter and enable the new one for the new game. By doing this, you'll be able to capture accurate data and avoid confusion
  • Always begin capturing packets before joining a game or party chat. This is essential as most filters require information from the initial packets in order to function properly.

You can request a game or app filter to be made or updated via our discord.
