Bettercap vs Sleuth Kit: Which Icons 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.

The Sleuth Kit (TSK) is an open-source collection of command-line digital forensics tools, pre-installed on Kali Linux at /usr/bin/, designed for analyzing disk images and file systems to recover evidence in cyber investigations. Developed by Brian Carrier, TSK supports file systems like NTFS, FAT, EXT2/3/4, UFS, and HFS+, enabling forensic analysts, incident responders, and ethical hackers to examine deleted files, partition structures, and timelines. Often paired with Autopsy’s GUI, TSK’s modular utilities provide granular control for advanced forensic tasks.
