Cold boot attack - Wikipedia

this is so cool imo

while memory dumping attack is nothing new, literally freezing the DRAM sticks using liquid nitrogen so that data remains intact even after power loss is something i didn’t know about, and personally find very interesting

      afaiaa liquid helium is used for that already

      or do you mean specifically memory overclocking competitions? is that a thing?

        Liquid nitrogen is used for overclocks in general, probably also for RAM. I don’t know the differences with liquid helium in this case.

        There are overclocking competitions, the setups are quite amazing.
