| 642857 | 2008-02-23 04:48:00 | I may have skipped the odd gear, but I haven't yet slipped enough disks to wish to be encrypted. I like it outside the crypt thanks. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 642858 | 2008-02-23 06:44:00 | My laptop drive is encrypted in case it gets stolen. Someone taking my system while powered on is possible, but unlikely - besides which anyone stealing my laptop would be doing so because it's a valuable piece of electronic equipment, not to get at the data on my disk. I agree with Misty - much ado about nothing :rolleyes:. |

| 642859 | 2008-02-23 07:05:00 | I also use full disk encryption on Debian and the non-volatility of unpowered memory is something to be aware of. Sometimes if the power is cut my graphics card (which shares system memory) shows the last image before it was cut for a moment during the next boot. Fortunately the circumstances under which this matters are fairly limited. The main consequence is that attackers may be able to bypass the OS and read any memory they like if they manage to access a running machine. This is most likely a problem for servers left unattended (e.g. running in a home or shared office such as an incubator). | TGoddard (7263) | ||
