Selfishnet V3.0.0 Windows
| Tool | Platform | Purpose | |------|----------|---------| | | Windows | Simpler ARP spoofing with on/off cut-off feature. | | Wireshark | Windows/Linux | Passive monitoring only (no spoofing). Legal and safe. | | Ettercap | Windows/Linux | Professional-grade MitM framework. More control but steeper learning curve. | | BetterCAP | Windows/Linux/macOS | Modern, modular replacement for Ettercap. Supports SSL stripping. | | Cain & Abel | Windows (legacy) | Older but feature-rich sniffer. Less compatible with Windows 11. |

The first button on the left toolbar (often resembling a network icon or a magnifying glass). Clicking this commands the software to broadcast a discovery request across the subnet, mapping out every active device.
Once the main dashboard loads, you will face a clean, minimalist interface split into a real-time table grid. Managing the network takes just a few clicks: Icon / Button Function Name Operational Outcome IP Discovery Scan | Tool | Platform | Purpose | |------|----------|---------|
SelfishNet operates by exploiting the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). It sends unsolicited ARP messages to the network, convincing other devices that the host machine is the default router/gateway.
At its heart, SelfishNet functions as a simplified traffic shaper. It uses (Address Resolution Protocol) to position your computer as the "gatekeeper" between other devices and the router. This allows you to:
Your computer must be connected to the target network via a compatible physical Ethernet connection or a Wi-Fi chipset capable of handling promiscuous or monitor mode. | | Ettercap | Windows/Linux | Professional-grade MitM
SelfishNet is a portable application, meaning it does not require a traditional installation, but it does rely on specific drivers to function.
In shared living environments—such as university dormitories, shared apartments, or open-plan offices—a single user engaging in high-bandwidth activities (like 4K streaming, large game downloads, or video conferencing) can cripple the latency for everyone else. Standard router configurations are often inaccessible to tenants or require administrator passwords. Selfishnet v3.0.0 democratizes network control by exploiting how standard, unsecured networks handle Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). By sending ARP replies to the gateway, Selfishnet convinces the router that the user’s computer is the legitimate path for all traffic. Once this "Man-in-the-Middle" (MITM) position is established, the software acts as a gatekeeper, throttling or blocking competing devices.
