The video tutorial explains the role of RAM in storing programs and files, highlighting its importance in data recovery and security. It discusses how RAM handles file access, deletion, and typing activities, including passwords and web browsing. The tutorial also covers decrypted and deleted content, RAM disks, and live CDs, emphasizing RAM's role in memory management and data recovery.

What is the primary function of RAM in a computer?

• To manage network connections

• To provide power to the CPU

• To execute programs and store temporary data

• To store permanent files

How can RAM be useful in malware analysis?

• It can permanently delete malware

• It can prevent malware from executing

• It can encrypt malware files

Why might data in RAM not be immediately removed?

• Because RAM is encrypted

• Because RAM is always full

What happens to typed passwords in RAM?

• They are immediately deleted

• They are converted to asterisks

• They are stored as plain text in a buffer

• They are stored as encrypted data

How does private browsing mode handle data storage?

• It encrypts data on the server

• It stores data on the hard drive

• It stores data in RAM and erases it after use

• It prevents data from being stored anywhere

What is a RAM disk?

• A disk that is used for backup storage

• A disk that encrypts all data

• A disk that operates entirely in RAM

• A disk that stores data permanently

What happens to data in RAM when a computer is turned off?

• It is transferred to the cloud

• It is encrypted and stored

• It is permanently lost

• It is saved to the hard drive

What is the impact of using a live CD on data storage?

• Data is stored on the hard drive

• Data is permanently saved to a USB drive

• Data is stored in RAM and lost after shutdown

• Data is encrypted and stored on the server

How does the amount of RAM affect data recovery?

• The amount of RAM does not affect data recovery

• More RAM allows for more data to be retained

• Less RAM means more data can be recovered

• More RAM means less data can be recovered

What role does RAM play in processing network traffic?

• It stores network traffic permanently

• It processes network traffic temporarily

• It blocks unwanted network traffic

• It encrypts all network traffic
