In this tutorial we'll explain how to use OctoSniff for PC.

Setting up OctoSniff.

  1. Open OctoSniff, Your PC's internet adapter should automatically be selected.
  2. Enable a Game Filter if the game you are on has one. Click Filters => Community Filters. 3: Once the filter is selected make sure it says Highlight then click Apply 4: Click the Network on the left side bar, Then click Start Sniff 5: Check the Filtered Traffic if you see no data, the filter needs to be updated and the traffic will appear in All Traffic.

Important Information.

  • 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.
