Use the SmashGuard, Luke! It's the only way to protect your application from the dark side of the force.

Absinthe, the hallucinogenic drink? I'm starting to think the exam writer is just messing with us at this point.

Kismet? Isn't that a wireless network detection tool? I don't think that's going to help much in this scenario.

SmashGuard, huh? Sounds like a tool that would just end up smashing everything in sight, including the application.
