Title: Tor + Hibernate Mode Safe?
Post by: Heyenezz on January 24, 2012, 04:20 am
Say I encrypt my hard drive using Truecrypt and then put my computer into hibernate mode. What additional risks, if any, does this pose?

Thanks for any help.

Even when it's in hibernate mode, the truecrypt key is in memory which would be bad. Always power down your machine when not in use if you want truecrypt to do its job.
