So it seems they can only "copy and paste" if an experienced security
expert has first provided a RAM dump.
While always an issue with every dynamically-compiled language, how easy
is it to fully dump RAM? Has anyone here successfully done it?
Still, I agree it merits consideration.
Given the nature of the language static compilation may not be possible.
What other means may be useful?
