VMware and safe botting

Stay away from RAID5!
RAID5 is probably the slowest RAID level of all and should only be used for read-only archives.
Also, entry level RAID5 capable controllers are "fakeraid", unless you pay +$500, which means that your CPU will have to do all the work.

The best RAID level and also the most expensive is RAID10, the only downside I can think of is the cost (you need more drives).

you're true about that but i dont see why anyone needs a raid when runnin HB only.
better invest that money in some SATA3 SSDs and 64GB of RAM ;)
 
I use VMWare for some of my bots. Problem is, the Virtual machines always lose their internet connection for a few seconds every 2 or 3 hours even though the main computer never loses internet connection. Does anyone know why VMs lose their internet connection every few hours? I disabled the VMWare network adapter (VMNet1) and it didn't fix the problem. I can't think of anything else to change.

mac isnt transported thru the tcpip stack
mac is eg. used for calculating the hardware ID

there is no such thing on linux :P
 
I feel that VMWare would provide plausible deniability in the case of a ban but really wouldn't do anything to prevent it. What I mean by this is if you have multiple accounts and one gets banned you have a higher chance of getting it back via petition. Other than that I really don't think it would make that much of a difference.

The 'Network interface layer' of the TCP/IP stack aka 'data link layer' of the OSI model uses the MAC address.

A MAC address will not leave a broadcast domain and a broadcast domain is limited by routers (or level 3 switches depending on their configuration).
Level 3 network devices will "unpack" a frame and only keep the packet, that packet will be "packed" into a new frame and the source MAC address used depends on the outgoing interface (destination MAC address is "discovered" with a ARP request).
