[Shacs] cold facts on hacking with memory resident passwords

[Kyle Patrick]

I wonder if Bill Gates throws his mouse when he watches these videos, I
probably would.  I mean they say all these OS's are vulnerable, and then
do the demo on windows lol.  Give Bill a break already.  Anyway that's
really cool Brono, I like how the laptop that was hacked at the very end
contained all the secrets to the Kennedy Assignation, that was a good
one to hack.

This little article:
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/02/researchers-dis.html
has a neat video at the end:
*	ram takes a while to fade even when not plugged in
*	ram chips fade time is longer when cooled with a coolant
*	software (if bootable by usb is set..) can hijack a stolen pc's
ram and suck out a password
cheers
