The closest thing out of those examples I can think of is a reverse or bind shell using netcat. As pan64 mentioned, neither of the other tools is for that purpose. Google "reverse shell using netcat" and you'll get a bunch of examples. Host hacking is not my field of expertise so I cannot advise you there.
If you have Bash or another shell which allows process substitution on the machine with wireshark, then you can use that. Here it is over SSH, but netcat or other similar methods should work, too:
the redirection belongs to the shell, not the command (like tcpdump). You can redirect any command, like ls, ps, grep, whatever.
/dev/tcp/host/port is a bash builtin so bash allows to redirect output to another host.
