[QUOTE=Verum;5347849]He's talking about flushing your dns cache by running this from a command prompt.
Ipconfig / flushdns.
As far as hard disks vs platters. You are probably thinking of deleting files doesn't actually delete but marks the location (s) of the file "available". To be used by something else. This works the same on spindle drives or solid state drives. Also, this is not applicable to modifications of files. So, flushing dns does not delete your "cache file" it modifies the file and thus the data that "was" there is gone. Poof! Note: dns entries in your cache is just a routing table (comparable to directions to an address you follow to get there) to a site that you've visited. It is not a cache of the site contents, like browser cache.
There are programs out there to write data to locations on your hard drive (and ssd) that is marked as "available" - thus truly erasing the original data.
However, all data written to an SSD is not recoverable once it's been overwritten. It it were, we'd have infinite storage capabilities. Encrypted data is only recoverable if you have the key to decrypt or a backdoor. Many encryption companies do provide a way for law enforcement to decrypt without a key. But one does not. Called PGP encryption.[/QUOTE]We don't need to go through these extremes LOL! A: the servers are in Canada. B: its not illegal to visit dating sites or this site C: this whole board could be fiction for all anyone knows. Its not sufficient evidence. They can't get a time machine and figure out what someone may have been doing in the past based on a story that was written on these boards. And even if they could, once again, a very weak case for a misdemeanor charge. That being said sure, LEO probably does read these boards and some of them probably use these boards as advice and how to not walk into their own stings LOL.
