Connecting OctoSniff To Game Consoles: Wireless Setup Guide

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





How to find your Console & Router IP's


PS4/PS5: Settings => Go to the 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)".

Wireless tutorial:


Open up OctoSniff and select your Network Interface. Ie. your computers internet adapter either ethernet or WiFi. (to select adapters on OctoSniff V4 Click Settings)
Click the "Network" tab, then click "Scan".
as target 1 /Console, you select your IP address (Console IP).
As target 2 / Router, you select your Default gateway (Router IP).
Click "Spoof" once selected, then "Sniff".
You should now start seeing IP Addresses appear! It may take some time, to make it quicker you can move your character in game, talk on the mic etc.

To be noted
Make sure you've allowed the software through PC firewall and click scan a few times.
If for some reason, your Console did not appear - you can add it manually. This may take a couple of attempts, but it will work eventually! if your pc and console are both on Wi-Fi make sure they are both on 2.4G or both on 5G

GTA V Decryption for PlayStation shown in this video is patched, you will need to use the GTA V filter and filtered games tab now for XBOX/PLAYSTATION for OctoSniff V3
If you are using OctoSniff V4 the ips for GTA V & RDR 2 do not require a filter and will still appear in the PS Tab for XBOX/PLAYSTATION.

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.
