Which tool terminates a remote process by name or process ID?

• A. PsKill
• B. PsFile
• C. PsGetSid
• D. Hyena

Answer: (A)

Terminating a remote process by name or process ID is a capability of the PsKill utility from the Sysinternals PsTools suite. PsKill is built to stop processes on a local or remote machine by specifying either the process ID or the image name, making it the exact tool for this task. You can target a remote host by prefixing with the computer name, and you can provide credentials if needed; there are options to kill a single process or the entire process tree as well. The other tools shown don’t match this specific function: one lists files opened by remote processes, another retrieves a security identifier, and the last is a broader admin utility with many features but not dedicated remote process termination by name or PID.
