Ghidra vs DMitry: Which DNS Enumeration Tool tool is Best in 2025?

Ghidra, an open-source software reverse engineering (SRE) framework, developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) Research Directorate, is pre-installed on Kali Linux at /usr/bin/ghidra. Ghidra provides a comprehensive suite of tools for analyzing compiled code across platforms like Windows, macOS, and Linux. Supporting disassembly, decompilation, graphing, and scripting, it’s a powerful tool for malware analysis, vulnerability research, and ethical hacking. With a Java-based GUI and extensible plugin architecture, Ghidra rivals commercial tools like IDA Pro, making it a go-to solution for cybersecurity professionals and forensic analysts.

DMitry is a command-line utility included in Kali Linux for passive information gathering during penetration testing and ethical hacking. Written in C, it collects public data about a target host, including subdomains, email addresses, uptime information, open TCP ports, and whois details for domains and IP addresses. DMitry also retrieves Netcraft data, such as operating system and web server details. Its lightweight design, with a 50 KB installed size, makes it ideal for quick reconnaissance, reducing the need for multiple tools. Key features include customizable TCP port scanning with TTL settings, filtered port reporting, and banner grabbing.
