MSFPC vs Wireshark: Which Domain and IP Lookup Tool tool is Best in 2025?

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.

Wireshark is an open-source, free network protocol analyzer widely regarded as the industry standard for capturing and analyzing network traffic in real time. Used by network administrators, cybersecurity professionals, and ethical hackers, Wireshark enables deep packet inspection, troubleshooting, and protocol analysis across various network types, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Its robust feature set and user-friendly interface make it an essential tool for monitoring network performance, detecting vulnerabilities, and ensuring robust network security.
