Which tool executes processes remotely?

• A. PsFile
• B. PsGetSid
• C. Hyena
• D. PsExec

Answer: (D)

Remote command execution is being tested here. PsExec is the tool designed to start and run processes on a remote Windows host. With PsExec you can specify the target computer and optional credentials, launching a command on that machine as if you were sitting in front of it, and you can choose interactive or non-interactive modes and redirect output back to you. This makes it the go-to utility for executing processes remotely across systems. The other tools perform different tasks: PsFile shows which files are opened on a remote system, PsGetSid retrieves the security identifier for accounts, and Hyena is a broader remote administration utility with multiple features but not the tool specifically focused on remote process execution.
