Its a program which sets up a false LAN connection between you and the other people on the same hamachi server so you don't have to play on official servers.
Come now, this is a gamer/nerd forum, let's be a bit more specific.
Hamachi is a VPN (virtual private network) client program. You contact a server owned by hamachi through private tunneled connection. When connected, you can join or create a small network. Other users may do the same and join this network created in the Hamachi server.
Because of the connection type, your programs see this connection as a local area connection. You can use your internet connection while using Hamachi, but these two connections can't see the other. This system is a virtual equivalent of having two network cards, one set to lan with friends, and the other to the internet.
