Clear memory on shutdown.

Nobody gives a fuck about you anyways.

Put your computer in the oven when you shut it off

120 or 240 volts through every pin except the negative one when the police knock on your door

What is cold boot attack?
>>
>>60742215

it takes a couple of seconds to minutes for the contents of RAM to disappear. If you freeze the sticks before that happens, you can take a look at the content for free encryption keys and so on

>>60741875 If somebody gets physical access to you and your data youre fucked anyway. Use terminal server in another jurisdiction and set up some sort of remote/timed wipe.
>>
>>60742302
takes time
>>
>>60742587
i wouldnt imagine that long, and they can cool it before removal anyway
>>
>>60742113
you know, the attack isn't called cold boot attack for nothing, you can just cool the ram down and take your time

alternatively do it on the same pc booting stick from the usb
>>
>>60741875
buy AMD products from half a decade ago.

>having RAM
>not just using virtual memory on an SSD instead

RAM is an outdated concept, it's no longer needed now that everyone has SSDs which are almost as fast and getting faster every year.
>>
>>60742814
m2 vs ram speeds?

Ssds wear down.
Are a magnitude slower then ram.

Good job.
>>
>>60741875
permanently glue your memory into the socket
or
get a laptop with soldered RAM (x240)
>>
>>60741875
jack off to young looking adults instead of children. problem solved

>>60741875
Chances are that if you feel the need to do this, you probably have done something to justify the search

>>60742441
Why would you ever use RSA to encrypt your drive?
>>
what is this "destroy your computer if authorities come" meme

do people actually get raided by police or something
>>
>>60742814
Holy fuck this is the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time.

You don't even understand the basic concept of a computer's system.

PC case is locked, just need to cut power, plus stall asking to see warrant while it warms up.
>>
>>60743885
you still need something to load the ram disc from senpai

>he doesn't have battery backed RAM
Fool
>>
>>60742814
this is one of the best trolls i've ever seen
>>
>>60745284
can you use full disc encryption with a ram disc?
>>
>>60745312
Yea you can encrypt your ram
And decrypt it to your ram
>>
Isn't TRESOR still relevant for this?
>>
>>60745545
Yes, you can use it if you trust the TPM
>>
>>60745342
well that seems counter productive
>>
>>60741975
wtf, 100% of systems do it. Or not?
>>
>>60745696
only Tails so far....

You can add it yourself but it slows down the shutdown time.

Also there is the possibility of data in the video card RAM.
>>
Read from temperature sensors on a short interval. Halt under a certain temperature.

Also, have DDR4.
>>
>>60745612
Unless you make a chipset that decrypts shit on the fly that's the only way
>>
>>60745751
how about intel with cpu accelerated aes?
>>
>>60745781
That doesn't do that
It only helps with aes algorithm
I believe some game consoles do it but I've never seen it on an X86 platform
>>
>>60745696
Windows Bitlocker overwrites the areas where keys are stored. Jamal can't steal your bank info with a cold boot attack.

Consider all devices an adversary has physical access to compromised.

>>60746030
Do my enemies have physical access to you?
>>
>>60742441
>implying the FBI is ever going to torture you for your encryption keys
If the FBI is kicking your door down, you're probably fucked to begin with.
I just encrypt my devices so if I get robbed, they won't get any of my data.

>>60741875
>tfw still using GTX480

I am safe from cold boot attacks forever. And my room smells like grilled pork, for some reason.
