@cyberghost Chat's too damned hard to find ._.

@JourneymanGeek yeah, just like the logout button. i think the first time i was on stack-exchange, i spent 10 minutes looking for it.

seriously?

@cyberghost in theory you can extract anything that was stored in memory at the time of removal. Most modern OSs dont make it easy for you though. Its also not an attack that you see used that much.

@CaffeineAddiction how do they prevent it? and also, to add the ram to your machine, does it not have to be powered of? and does your os not try to utilize it, and override to contents? how do you prevent that?

@cyberghost You can write a custom OS to make sure it doesn't overwrite the RAM when you insert it. And while you do have to remove power from the ram to while moving it, that's exactly what the cooling is for. It makes the ram retain its contents for a short period of time without power.
