  "textContent": "Best practice would be using Tails OS which is entirely made for that purpose of defeating digital forensics.\n\nAlternatively you can encrypt individual files, but that doesn’t guarantee unencrypted data never reaches your data drives unless your whole drive(running the OS) is encrypted.\n\nOn windows, UWF(unified write filter) can be used to process data solely in RAM, but I’d still prefer Tails for this.\n\nIf you intend to use veracrypt and create an encrypted vault, at least go through the official docs. Paging files, caches, temporary files, thumbnails, etc may be written in plaintext if your system drive is not encrypted.",
