Bettercap vs MSFPC: Which Kali Linux Tools tool is Best in 2025?

Bettercap is a powerful, open-source, and modular network security tool designed for penetration testers, security researchers, and ethical hackers. Pre-installed on Kali Linux, it serves as a Swiss Army knife for network reconnaissance, man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, and traffic manipulation across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Ethernet, and IPv4/IPv6 networks. Written in Go, Bettercap offers a flexible framework with an intuitive web UI, scriptable proxies, and caplets for automating complex attack scenarios.

MSFvenom Payload Creator (MSFPC) is an open-source, user-friendly wrapper script for generating Metasploit payloads, pre-installed on Kali Linux at /usr/bin/msfpc. Designed by g0tmi1k, it automates the creation of Meterpreter and command-shell payloads for multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, Android, and macOS. By simplifying complex msfvenom commands, MSFPC enables penetration testers, ethical hackers, and red teamers to craft customized payloads with minimal input. Supporting options like staged/stageless payloads, bind/reverse connections, and HTTP/HTTPS protocols, it streamlines payload generation for security testing.
