\S{faq-virtuallock}{Question} Couldn't Pageant use \c{VirtualLock()}
|
||||
to stop private keys being written to disk?
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately not. The \c{VirtualLock()} function in the Windows API
|
||||
doesn't do a proper job: it may prevent small pieces of a process's
|
||||
memory from being paged to disk while the process is running, but it
|
||||
doesn't stop the process's memory as a whole from being swapped
|
||||
completely out to disk when the process is long-term inactive. And
|
||||
Pageant spends most of its time inactive.

\S{faq-openssh}{Question} Is PuTTY a port of OpenSSH, or based on

OpenSSH?

No, it isn't. PuTTY is almost completely composed of code written
|

from scratch for PuTTY. The only code we share with OpenSSH is the

detector for SSH1 CRC compensation attacks, written by CORE SDI S.A.
