Description:

RAM wiping, or clearing the contents of Random Access Memory, is an important practice for enhancing privacy and security. When applications are used or when browsing the internet, sensitive data can temporarily reside in RAM, and wiping it ensures that this information is not recoverable after the session ends, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Additionally, attackers can employ techniques to scrape memory for sensitive information like passwords and credit card numbers; regular RAM wiping mitigates this risk by removing such data before it can be exploited.

Features:
  • Small codebase
  • Runs in a loop (optional)
  • Wipes free RAM space using zeroes
  • Written in Bash

    doesn’t RAM get wiped after a power cycle?
