Connecting OctoSniff To Game Consoles: Wireless Setup Guide

Updated on April 17, 2026

In this tutorial we'll show you how to use OctoSniff if your game console is wired to router or connected to WiFi.

Setting up ARP Spoofing.

  1. Open OctoSniff, Your PC's internet adapter should automatically be selected. (If it isn't click the adapter in the bottom left.)
  2. Click "ARP Spoofing" on the left side bar.
  3. Click "Scan Network" in the top right. (Your router IP should automatically be selected)
  4. Select your Game Console IP from the "ACTIVE DEVICES" list.
  5. Click Filters on the left side bar , Select Device Filters an select your Game Console IP.
  6. Enable a Game Filter if the game you are on has one. Click Filters => Community Filters. 7: Once the Filter is selected make sure it says Highlight then click Apply 8: Select the Network tab and Click "Start ARP", Once ARP spoofing is running click "Start Sniff". 9: Check the Filtered Traffic if you see no data, the filter needs to be updated and the traffic will appear in All Traffic.

Follow the steps below If you need to find your Console & Router IP's.

  • PS4/PS5: Settings =>Network => View Connection Status option.
  • XBOX ONE: Profile & system => Settings => General => Network settings, => Advanced settings.
  • Take note of the following information your console displays
  • "IP address(ipv4) = (Console IP) & Default gateway = (Router IP)".

To be Noted.

  • Make sure you've allowed the software through your PC firewall.
  • Not seeing router/console IP? - you can add it manually at the very bottom by typing the IP ad clicking add on the right.
  • If your pc and console are both on Wi-Fi make sure they are both on 2.4G or both on 5G

Common errors or questions.

If you are having disconnect issues, Lag or trouble pulling IP's its more than likely your router firewall is blocking the ARP Spoofing attack if this is the case. simply use the PC HotSpot method, or switch to one of recommended wired setups linked below, as they do not require a ARP Spoofing attack. Below are the best recommended setups in order.

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. If you are using software via wireless setup, filters may not work as intended due to packet loss caused by ARP spoofing. In this case, the IP will appear in the all traffic tab.

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