I'm not sure about SmashGuard, I think Obiwan might also be a good choice.

I agree with Audra, SmashGuard seems like a good option to prevent such attacks.

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.

Obiwan? Really? That's like using a lightsaber to fight off a hacker. Let's get serious here.
