Setting up OctoSniff
On your task bar right click the Lan/Ethernet icon and choose OPEN NETWORK & SHARING CENTER.
Choose CHANGE ADAPTER OPTIONS.
Look for the Ethernet adapter that your pc is using for internet. (In my case it's using the Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller which I've renamed to Game Consoles)
From the OctoSniff Adapter/interface selection choose the adapter your PC is using for internet. (Same adapter as in step 4)
Once you selected the adapter simply click sniff on OctoSniff.
