(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); How To 'Packet Sniff'




Use this to packet sniff:
Wireshark - Freeware

Wireshark is a good analyzer too.

To modify and inject use these
Packetyzer - Freeware
Commview - Shareware

These also have packet sniffing functions but can also modify and inject packets.

Make sure to set these to monitor traffic in promiscuous mode. Close all other programs that use internet such as browsers or IMs as to filter out irrelevant info.

Set Up Your Network

To get good network traffic use one of these methods:

* Play the PS3 through your PC via PS3 proxy – mixed results. (method shown below)

* Connect your PS3 and PC to a hub then connect the hub to a router

* Set your network up so all traffic runs through a gateway with the IP same as the routers IP and set the sniffer to that IP.


see how it goes with your current setup first. You may get decent results already.


Starting packet sniffing:

This method uses the PS3 proxy. If you have your network set up so you can see all network traffic without PS3 proxy then just use the packet sniffers as is.

1 Download PS3 Proxy Here
2 Go to Start > Run then type "cmd" and click OK. In the command box that will pop up type “ipconfig” and press enter. Copy down the number that is your IP address, usually something like 192.168.0.2.
3 install PS3 proxy. Go to C:\Program Files\CF3B5\PS3.ProxyServer and click on PS3.ProxyServer.GUI.
4 In the PS3 proxy window type in your IP address and check the ‘PS3 mode’ box and click start.
5 Install Wireshark or Packetyzer or Commview or whatever you like. In the program select the network adapter of your PC if it is not already selected.
6 On your PS3 go to Settings > Network Settings > Internet Connection Settings > Custom. Keep on pressing X or right until you get to ‘Proxy Server’ and choose ‘Use’. Enter the same IP you put in PS3 proxy. Keep on pressing X or right until it reaches the end and choose not to test connection.
7 Start your packet sniffing program to capture packets, go to your PS3 and play COD4 online multiplayer.
8 Once you played a couple of games or whatever, go to the packet sniffer and stop it. Look through the packets and see if you what has been captured.

Beyond this, it is no mans land and we are currently trying to figure out what to do next.

Very good post, I almost feel as if this should be in the mw2 section! I sorta have a team working with this theory & we're about 100% sure we hit jackpot with a program we made for the final step. This appears to be catching on with evry1 now on how2 do it instead of HDD or .PKG. We were some of the 1st 2test this method & our method works with PC & now2 test out ps3 on friday. Wish us luck.
