Shellter vs FortiGuard AI vs Yersinia vs Splunk: Which Predictive Analytics for Insurers tool is Best in 2025?

Shellter is an open-source dynamic shellcode injection tool, pre-installed on Kali Linux, designed for injecting malicious code into 32-bit Windows portable executable (PE) files while evading antivirus detection. Known as a dynamic PE infector, Shellter, developed by kyREcon, allows penetration testers and red teamers to embed custom or Metasploit-generated shellcode into legitimate Windows applications without altering suspicious file attributes. Its Stealth Mode preserves the original functionality of infected executables, making it ideal for ethical hacking and security assessments.

FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services, developed by Fortinet, is a cutting-edge cybersecurity tool designed to protect networks from modern threats. Leveraging AI and real-time threat intelligence from Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs, it secures everything from branch offices to cloud environments, ensuring businesses stay safe and connected with advanced network security solutions.

Yersinia is an open-source, robust framework for executing layer 2 (Data Link Layer) network attacks, designed to exploit vulnerabilities in various network protocols. Integrated into Kali Linux, Yersinia empowers cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers, and network administrators to analyze and test the security of deployed networks. Named after the plague-causing bacterium Yersinia pestis, it targets protocols like STP, DHCP, CDP, and VLAN, enabling users to simulate attacks such as DHCP starvation, VLAN hopping, and spanning tree manipulation.

Splunk, a Cisco company, empowers organizations to thrive in the digital age with its cutting-edge cybersecurity and observability platform. By harnessing AI and real-time data analytics, Splunk helps businesses proactively secure their systems, optimize performance, and drive resilience across IT, OT, and multicloud environments—trusted by global leaders to turn data into decisive action.
