My home-hosted website is being hammered thousands of times an hour by a swarm of coordinated residential IP addresses that do not get used again the next next day but hit with a new batch of addresses the next day. The attack swarm does nothing other than a simple GET & that is it. What can be done? I do not see why one should play along with such coordinated nonsense. Blocking all IP addresses in the swarm would serve no purpose: they hardly any of them are re-used. #suricata #ids #firewall
