Why each option

Fpipe is a port redirection tool that tunnels traffic through firewall-allowed ports, making it the appropriate choice for firewall bypass tasks.

AFpipeCorrect

Fpipe (FPipe) is a TCP/UDP/SOCKS port redirector that forwards packets through ports permitted by the firewall, effectively tunneling restricted traffic through an allowed port. It creates a listening service on a local port and relays all traffic to a specified remote host and port, bypassing firewall rules that block certain destination ports.

BPsList

PsList is a Sysinternals utility that enumerates running processes on a local or remote Windows system and has no firewall bypass or port forwarding capability.

CCain

Cain (Cain & Abel) is a Windows-based password recovery and network sniffing tool, not designed for port redirection or firewall bypass.

DPsExec

PsExec is a Sysinternals remote execution tool that runs processes on remote systems, not a firewall bypass or port tunneling utility.
