Thanks for listing them out.

The main reason I think hackers looking for passive income source is, They want something can generate money and they can focus on hacking without worrying about money.

EDIT:

~$100USD/month from http://webscrapemaster.com

Exactly. Also, working on a potential second passive income source is as well more enjoyable and easy when you have a first one :)

Made few bucks from digitalocean affiliate. Most of the money is still pending but I'll be paid $120 this month again :D

I own a content website with well targeted affiliate partnership. Currently at a bit over 1,000 Euro a month pure profit, as all traffic is organic.

I didn't touch the website in about 2 years. Now that numbers are growing month on month, I'm freeing up some some time add more of the specific content which brings in the money. Also trying to scale the above for different related markets and languages. Hope to get it to +2k within the next year.

Btw, always wanted to ask. I'm sure you've seen this as well. There are a bunch of sites full of generic text and links beneath them with long and ugly URLs. I suppose they get paid when you click on those links. What are these sites?
