Does anyone remember seeing this? I really want to know if there was an update to his case. I thought I saw it on HN but I can NOT for the life of me find it now anywhere. Normally I’m not one to buy into “XYZ scrubbed QWERTY from the internet”, but I absolutely can not find this story ANYWHERE now and it seems like it should be easily found with keywords.

If anyone interested has a Twitter account, would you mind searching there for Truecrypt and Veracrypt to see what comes up? That’s the one place I haven’t looked because I don’t have an account.

    If the user was using Windows, fast startup could have been enabled so they were able to extract the password from the RAM maybe? Other than that I don’t know

      Late response, I haven’t been on this account recently…

      I understand that fastboot and similar things like the hive file if that’s what it’s called (ram writes to disk) or just a very quick tool/technique for cold booting/freezing RAM, but can just have fastboot enabled, enable them to extract the decryption key from RAM or disk?

      I thought VeraCrypt started before everything… like a Linux bootloader.
