LanTroop Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Hello, How safe is it to use the factory reset feature? Will I run into problems if I use it an avarage of 3-4 times a day? Here's the reasoning - I'm developing and testing a custom payload for the Bash Bunny and it involves installing extra tools from multiple sources (apt-get, pip, gcc). I want to keep the installation stage tidy and separate so that it's easy to install all components on a brand-new Bunny. In order to test a "clean install" I need to keep on resetting the Bunny. Will I run into troubles down the road if I keep resetting the Bunny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I've reset mine a couple times a day with no problems. Just make sure if your using the updater that the version.txt is still there. I deleted a couple times and had problems resetting correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 It's a pretty standard SSD so the usual read write wear applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanTroop Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Great to hear that it's ok to reset the bunny multiple times in a row. If the hard drive fails due to too many writes, can we say that the bunny died of natural causes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Just keep in mind that a factory restore / upgrade does write a large amount, so you want to minimize the frequency. That will prolong your bunny's life. That said, it may still work for a year or more with daily writes like that. It's hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
