Re: [tor-talk] What's written to HD?

[Greg Norcie <greg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're on a Live CD, everything should stay in the RAM, unless you
really jump through hoops to write to the HD. In that case (barring a
cold boot attack, which is far fetched), any data you downloaded will be
gone.

On a normal PC anything saved or opened is stored on the HD though. Live
CDs are special, everything runs in RAM.
