The correct answer is A. Gnutella C. Hamachi D. Freenet. Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications enable direct file sharing and communication between computers without relying on a central server. Gnutella, Hamachi, and Freenet are all P2P platforms, while Kismet is a wireless network monitoring and intrusion detection tool.
Question
Adam works as a Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator. He has been assigned a project to investigate child pornography. As the first step, Adam found that the accused is using a Peer-to-peer application to network different computers together over the internet and sharing pornographic materials of children with others.

Why each option
Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications enable direct file sharing and communication between computers without relying on a central server. Gnutella, Hamachi, and Freenet are all P2P platforms, while Kismet is a wireless network monitoring and intrusion detection tool.
Gnutella is a widely used decentralized P2P file-sharing protocol that allows users to share files directly with one another across a distributed network with no central indexing server.
Kismet is a passive wireless network detector, packet sniffer, and intrusion detection system used for monitoring 802.11 Wi-Fi traffic - it is not a peer-to-peer file-sharing application.
Hamachi is a P2P virtual private network application that creates direct encrypted tunnels between computers over the internet, forming a virtual LAN environment without requiring a central VPN server.
Freenet is a decentralized, censorship-resistant P2P platform designed for anonymous file sharing and communication by distributing encrypted data fragments across all participating nodes.
