Anonymity and Privacy / Re: How can I protect my TrueCrypt partition from being compomised by PassWare Kit

Using truecrypt to protect your files requires certain caution.
The best you can do is use the auto-dismount feature that "removes" the key from RAM after a certain period of time.
If you are using an entire encrypted disk/partition , that would not work though.
What i find useful but extreme is "destroying" all the USB/firewire/everything with DMA(direct memory access) ports on the computer. That way a PassWare attack becomes impossible. If you are serious about your activities though, that wouldn't be such a problem.
