Shellter vs APKTool: Which AI Resume Screener 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.

APKTool is an open-source command-line utility, pre-installed on Kali Linux at /usr/bin/apktool, designed for reverse engineering Android application package (APK) files. Maintained by Connor Tumbleson (iBotPeaches) and originally developed by JesusFreke, APKTool decompiles APKs into nearly original resources and smali code, enabling modifications, debugging, and recompilation. Ideal for cybersecurity professionals, ethical hackers, and Android developers, it supports vulnerability analysis, malware inspection, and app localization. With a project-like structure and automation for repetitive tasks, APKTool streamlines APK manipulation.
