Why each option
WsPingPro, Sam Spade, and SuperScan are network utilities that each include whois query functionality. Traceroute is a packet-routing diagnostic tool and does not perform whois lookups.
WsPingPro is a multi-function network toolkit that bundles whois lookups alongside ping, DNS resolution, and port scanning capabilities.
Traceroute displays the hop-by-hop route and measures transit delays of packets across a network - it does not query domain registration or IP ownership data as whois does.
Sam Spade is a dedicated network query utility specifically designed for whois lookups, DNS queries, IP block queries, and related reconnaissance tasks.
SuperScan is a TCP/UDP port scanner that also includes supplementary network tools, including whois query functionality.
