Do you even spam? - Spam upload times and sizes


What follows is a very raw collection of information I am gathering on the spam application for HackEx. I created a brand new account and set it up to run some tests. All tests are done using the 1G network and without any other network processes running. 

Spam Upload Time Calculator

  • File Size: n/a
  • Upload Est: n/a


Table of spam sizes:

Upload Speed -> 50kbps


Spam LevelUpload Time (s)Size (kb) [Upload speed * Upload time]
1100 5000
2800 40000
32700135000
46400320000
512500625000
6216001080000
7343001715000
8512002560000
9729003645000 
101000005000000
1533750016875000
2080000040000000 -> 3645 GB

Formula for calculating upload time for 1G network:

uploadTime_n = 100 * n^3

AboutWhere 'n' is the level of spam you are trying to upload. Please note that this is to calculate ONLY the upload times for the 1G network.

Graph of upload time vs spam level:


This is a graph of the time (in hours) it takes to upload a spam at the specified level. 

Observerations

As you can see, the time taken to upload the spamware quickly goes out of proportion. This is because the size of the file increases at an exponential rate. The formula to calculate the size is listed below:

size_n = 5000 * n^3

AboutWhere 'n' = the level of spam you are trying to calculate the size for. The result is in kilobytes.

Table of the available networks and their speed difference



NetworkUpload Speed (kb)Difference in speed
1G50Default
1GS100+50
2G150+50
2GS200+50
3G400+200
3GS600+200
4G1600+1000
4GS2000+400
5G2800+800

Observations

This was interesting for me. As there is a rather radical increase of speed when upgrading to the 4G network.
