For example, your home router, your network printer, or the intranet of your company are usually on your local network, also called LAN for Local Area Network. In technical terms, this refers to the set of IP addresses defined in [RFC1918](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918), like IP addresses that start with `192.168`.

<p>In a <a
href="https://www.forensicfocus.com/stable/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/cold_boot_attack_for_forensiscs1.pdf">research
report from 2011</a>, Defense Research and Development Canada concluded that
cold boot attacks can be useful in some cases to acquire data in memory but are
not a panacea and have many drawbacks dictated by the laws of physics, which
cannot be overcome by the technique. The authors recommend to only use cold
boot attacks as a last resort when all other avenues have been exhausted.</p>

You can use the Boot Loader to modify the *boot options*. Boot options are special parameters used to troubleshoot or work around hardware support problems. For example, our [[list of known issues with graphics cards|support/known_issues/graphics]] documents boot options for different graphics cards.
