CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 Practice Question

A live response tool is specifically designed for capturing volatile data such as running processes, open connections, and in-memory structures, all of which could be lost if a system is powered down. These tools can also operate in a minimally invasive manner to prevent significant changes to the system. A disk imaging tool, while important for capturing a snapshot of a system's disk, is not typically used for volatile data and will not capture data that resides in memory. Network sniffers capture network traffic and are not suitable for preserving in-memory data. A file integrity monitoring system is used to track changes to files over time and would not be capable of capturing or preserving volatile system data, such as RAM contents.
