Sniffing PS3
Recently I have been trying to sniff the PS3. No, it’s not some new fetish, I am sniffing the packets. Problem is, I never get anything from the PS3, I have tried it with the browser, and with an online game, still nothing. I use Wireshark, and it works fine, but for some reason I just can’t capture anything from the PS3.
Last night I tried to get the PS3 to share my laptop connection (Internet Connection Sharing), but no joy. I have read tons of articles on how to do it, but nothing will work.
What’s my reason for capturing the PS3?
I do have a good reason for doing it, though don’t wish to share why, or more specifically what I am trying to capture, as it will be a new project for me to allow the gaming community to use.
Has anyone else got any ideas? I have heard about something called a “CrossOver Cable”, but haven’t looked into that yet.
My setup is:
BT Home Hub
WLAN Card for laptop
So everything is wireless, PS3 connects to the hub, and the laptop connects to the hub via WLAN card. Some how I need to make the PS3 connect to my laptop so I can capture all the data.

What Am I Doing?
- Installed W@W 1.02 patch, should now be able to play with American friends, let the desync commence
- Just finished playing World at War, can now connect to people. Spawning is really bad, a very high chance of being shot in the back.
- Still can't connect to anyone on World at War multiplayer, but people can connect to me, very annoying.
- Finished Call of Duty World at War single player, felt shorter than Modern Warfare. Now I can play Zombie mode.
- Played Call of Duty World at War, at the moment I'm not keen on it, WWII doesn't do it for me. I'll keep playing, might start to like it.
- Yay, I got news that Call of Duty World at War has been delivered from Game.
- Just finished playing Call of Duty 4, which could be the last time, as W@W should arrive tomorrow.
- At work
- Played some CoD4 before work, my team was really bad
- Downloading Ubuntu, Vista is horrible to develope on
- On my way home through the lovely rain on my bike
- Completed Far Cry 2 at the weekend
- Installed Twinkle app on touch, awesome for a free app
- Setting up Twitter on my Ipod Touch

If you use Vista, I hear you can create a “Virtual Wireless Network”, that allows you to let other computers connect to yours as if it were a wireless router, and share files/play games and maybe even share an internet connection.
I’m guessing by Crossover Cable you just mean a normal Cat5e x-over that’s used to connect two PC’s together through the ethernet port. Pretty standard =)
Yeah, exactly that. Got one from eBay, just waiting for it to come.
Will post my results when I have done some testing with it.
