How safe is factory reset for the Bunny?

[LanTroop]

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?

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

It's a pretty standard SSD so the usual read write wear applies.

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?

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.
