A forensic analyst must image the hard drive of a computer and store the image on a remote server. The analyst boots the computer with a live Linux distribution. Which of the following will allow…

The syntax is invalid - sha256 is not a standalone pipeline command in this context, and the SSH options use incorrect formatting with commas and plaintext credentials inline, making this command non-functional.

cryptcat encrypts the stream using a symmetric key passed on the command line, but the key is exposed in the shell history and process list, and there is no authentication of the remote endpoint, creating both confidentiality and integrity risks.

Piping dcfldd output through plain netcat transmits the forensic image in cleartext with no encryption or authentication of the receiving server, violating secure transfer requirements.

The command establishes an SSH dynamic port-forwarding tunnel to the remote server and then pipes the raw disk image captured by dd through netcat directed at the local tunnel endpoint, ensuring the data traverses an encrypted SSH session. Using SSH for the transport layer provides confidentiality and integrity for the forensic image in transit, which is required when transferring sensitive evidence over a network.
