I have read some articles about the Cold Boot Attacks and I am
wondering whether my Fedora box is protected against such kinds of
attack, at least to some extent.
If you have physical access to the box there is no security left. Attacked
can install there a trojan to catch+store boot password, install backdoor into
the booted kernel, use SMM (System Management Hook) etc. Attacker can also
solder in a sniffer of memory accesses. Other variants also exist.
