This is a very savvy exploit, according to the video and article the conventional wisdom of when you turn the computer off, the active volatile RAM is erased. However, it seems, conventional wisdom has to elaborate a bit more on the details of precisely how soon that data within the RAM disintegrates.Apparently the "data" within the RAM slowly fades away when the power is cut, giving a window of opportunity to attack and crack any encryption on the hard-drive, by making a copy of the encryption key.
While no exotic equipment is required for this hack, software that reads the RAM may be required to implement correctly. SOftware of this nature should be readily available on the Internet. One thing is certain, there is always a way around security and this is a proof of concept video.
Check it out.
Enjoy.
