This can be achieved using a technique called [[!wikipedia cold boot attack]]. To prevent such attacks, the data in RAM is overwritten by random data when you shut down Tails.
Die kann mit einer Vorgehensweise, die sich <span

</span>nennt, erreicht werden. Um diese Attacke zu verhindern, werden die Daten
beim Herunterfahren von Tails mit zufälligen Daten überschrieben. Dies löscht alle
Spuren Ihrer Sitzung auf dem Computer.

<p>See how we implement this [[memory
erasure|contribute/design/memory_erasure]], for example, if you want to
implement this feature outside of Tails.</p>

<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>

<p>As far as we know, cold boot attacks are not a common procedure for
data recovery.</p>

After a computer is powered off, the data in RAM disappears rapidly, but it can remain in RAM up to several minutes after shutdown. An attacker having access to a computer before the data in RAM disappears completely could recover important data from your session.
Nachdem ein Computer ausgeschaltet wurde, verschwinden die Daten im RAM rasch, sie können aber bis zu einigen Minuten nach dem Herunterfahren im RAM verbleiben. Ein Angreifer mit Zugang zu dem Computer könnte wichtige Daten von Ihrer Sitzung wiederherstellen, bevor diese vollständig verschwinden.

While using a computer, all the data manipulated is written temporarily in [[!wikipedia Random-access_memory desc="RAM"]]: texts, saved files, but also passwords and encryption keys. The more recent the activity, the more likely it is for the data to still be in RAM.
Während der Benutzung eines Computers werden alle veränderten Daten zwischenzeitlich in den [[!wikipedia_de Random-Access_Memory desc="RAM"]] geschrieben: Texte, gesicherte Dateien, aber auch Passwörter und Schlüssel für Verschlüsselung. Je kürzer die Aktivität zurückliegt, umso mehr ist es für die Daten wahrscheinlich, dass diese sich immer noch im RAM befinden.
