And secondly, would vnd devices be affected by this kind of attack? I particularly believe that this could be done, i also saw those kind of display "dumps" with some video cards that have DRAM memory. Better never more let my crypt disk left open. But there is a feature in truecrypt, that i believe can defeat this. It can use a file in conjunction with the password. The attacker can successfully guess the password, but without knowing the file used, it would be pointless. The only problem is if tc keep the filename also in memory :(. Will investigate this matter.
