As of right now and as far as I know, VirtualMDA does Not verify that you are actully sending spam. I am running the program right now and my bandwidth isn't being touched by spam (filtered by zone alarm) and im getting money (or so I think?).
Anyway, they give you $5 for signing up, and as of right now I have $6.17 - assuming they pay.
So yeah, big whoop, I made $1.17 (assuming) and I had it running since Wed. (4/14) night (11PM). So here's what we must try and figure out - how do we get this program to suck up more CPU time?
I did some research and found a nice little option for DOS programs called Idle Sensitivity, but this isn't a DOS program so thats out. What I tried last night was I ran 8 (yes, 8) VMWare Win2k pro machines (win2k pro seemed to get higher CPU usage (around 8% as opposed to 2% I get in XP and 98) in safe mode with networking). My cash flow was higher then normal, but not much.
Also what I tried was a bootable XP Pro CD (BartPE) and that didn't get my CPU usage any higher either, maybe knoppix-STD running WINE?
Also I've been working with ethereal and trying to find out what packets get sent where with this program so maybe I could send a custom packet to whatever remote server and boost my cash flow that way. But as far as I can see, ethereal is all hype. Anyone know anyway to edit and send your own custom packet in ethereal? Etherpeek can do it, and it's easy to use.
But yes, back to virtualmda, anyone know anyway to force a program to use more CPU time?
