hi,
I want to read data stored or access through RAM!

 

[Anttech]

most programs do this... are you trying to do something illegal?

 

[karthik3k]

no. not illegal. its my Computer
I typed sth and lost it w/o saving the file...
i just hope that it might hav been saved in the RAM ...

BTW, how do they use it illegally ??

 

[Anttech]

buffer overflows, u can read data you shouldn't be reading...

I don't think you are going to get the data back

On modern computers it's difficult. The modern memory technology which makes for cheap and fast memory also readily looses data when power is lost. Some other memory technologies are much more recoverable.

If you're really working at it, there may be possibilities, but it's almost certainly not worth the effort in your case.

The software that helps perform such tasks also costs money.
