Could someone explain the attack vector here. As far as I understand, they got access to IPMI. Is that essentially allowing access to the console? So they would then reboot the server and then boot i…

This offer really should state what I can get for "€0.80 per month" (and how to get that).

Also, the link text shows casify.com, but the link seems to be to caasify.com.

BTW, has anyone had any more success with using a NetBSD KASLR kernel? Using the instructions from https://wiki.netbsd.org/security/kaslr/ only results in a page fault:

BTW, a few weeks ago I mentioned the [cpuid](https://www.etallen.com/cpuid.html) tool - as of cpuid 20241023 my changes for NetBSD have been integrated, so it now also works on NetBSD.

Maybe start by reading the [Rules](https://lowendspirit.com/rules) and check the section "How to get a Hosting Provider or Services Provider tag"

I thought those kind of posts make it a lot more difficult to ever get a provider tag.

BTW, the actual maximum number of inodes is `3117310` (`3100457` was the number of available inodes on my system), but I think `df` only shows that number when using `df -G /` (and the values are cur…
