I am grateful for https://mfsbsd.vx.sk - I've been using it for at least 7 years[1]. I've used it for many things:

* fixing borked boot sectors when I've done the wrong thing
* dd if=/dev/zero when clearing drives
* modifying zpools to reconfigure them before importing them to another host
* looking at dmesg for a host before installing
* other things I have forgotten

I download the thumbdrive image[2], dd it to a thumbdrive, insert, boot, done. It is so reliable and useful.

I can ssh into the host after booting, so I don't have to be at the console. That's a big win for me. Why be in the basement when I could be on my couch or at my desk. :)

The Ransack gem has a really bad security vulnerability 🚨 https://positive.security/blog/ransack-data-exfiltration

Ransacking your password reset tokens | Positive Security

We demonstrate how the popular "Ransack" library (Ruby on Rails) can be abused to exfiltrate sensitive data via character by character brute-force, allowing for a full application compromise in some cases. An internet wide search identifies several hundred potentially vulnerable applications.
