I've seen a real uptick in the past couple of days in attacks on my IP address space. Not sure if I'm being targeted, or part of a wider campaign. Oh well, fail2ban makes quick work of them

I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of botnet has been hammering our web servers over the past week. Requests come in from tens of thousands of addresses, just once or twice each (and not getting blocked by fail2ban), with different browser strings (Chrome versions ranging from 24.0.1292.0 - 108.0.5163.147) and ridiculous cobbled-together paths like /about-us/1-2-3-to-the-zoo/the-tiny-seed/10-little-rubber-ducks/1-2-3-to-the-zoo/the-tiny-seed/the-nonsense-show/slowly-slowly-slowly-said-the-sloth/the-boastful-fisherman/the-boastful-fisherman/brown-bear-brown-bear-what-do-you-see/the-boastful-fisherman/brown-bear-brown-bear-what-do-you-see/brown-bear-brown-bear-what-do-you-see/pancakes-pancakes/pancakes-pancakes/the-tiny-seed/pancakes-pancakes/pancakes-pancakes/slowly-slowly-slowly-said-the-sloth/the-tiny-seed
(I just put together a bunch of Eric Carle titles as an example. The actual paths are pasted together from valid paths on our server but in invalid order, with as many as 32 subdirectories.)
Has anyone else been seeing this and do you have an idea what's behind it?
So apart from the attempt to open a lot of Facebook accounts using my domain, my site has also been under sporadic DDoS attacks. I hope you don't have too much trouble connecting at times.
And no, I have no idea who I ticked off now. 
Sales pitch toward the end.

Nachdem diverse #ki #ai #crawler besonders respektvoll mit den öffentlichen Ressourcen von Open Source Projekten umgehen, habe ich mich dazu entschlossen eben diese auszusperren. Wir hatten in der Vergangenheit crawls, die im #monitoring als #ddos gewertet wurden.
Diverse AS erfreuen sich nun einem dauerhaften 429, einige wenige die es für alle kaputt machen…
@Prozak @seanfobbe Lets say @Codeberg did suffer some serious #DDoS (which OFC isn't their fault) so I'd rather see #SelfHosting as a better option...
- Needless to say I'm likely considering as a #public #mirror / #public #git once I'd actually change my setups.
It's just.currently.not.my.priority, but *my.priorities.ain't authoritative...
@seanfobbe personally I'd consider #gitea and #SelfHosting.
- As of now I abude #github as free, #DDoS-protected hosting and something #Microsoft burns money in.
Once any of my projects would gain traction I'd move from there away.
- I just am not a huge fan of @Codeberg even tho they are a better option.
I jist move to either SelfHosting or nowhere...
The Dutch web hosting company Argeweb has experienced performance issues for over a week now.
DNS Flood Attack vs. DDoS
A DNS Flood Attack targets DNS servers specifically, whereas a DDoS Attack can target any online service. Understanding the distinction is key to building stronger defenses!

#DDoS Attacks: The New Frontier of Political Cyber Warfare
In recent months, Distributed Denial of Service attacks have emerged as a significant tool in political cyber warfare, with a notable increase in their use during critical sociopolitical events.

Netscout reports DDoS attacks surged from 13M+ in 2023 to ~17M in 2024, with new tech like #AI supercharging their impact. These attacks are now a staple of #GeopoliticalConflict.

Côté oursons sans nom, la stratégie de coordination s’est clairement déployée depuis l’an dernier — notamment pour muscler les attaques DDOSIA Layer 7 avec des botnets Mirai "propriétaires" en mode amplification réseau

@LunaDragofelis Consider #blackholing entire #ASN|s like #aws and all the ofther #GAFAMs instead.
- It's the only way to stop these #DDoS attacks!
«There’s been something of an epidemic of malicious bots on the internet these days. You may have seen a post recently titled “Please stop externalizing your costs directly into my face“, or “FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies“. Those are all happening to us, too. Surprise.»

I'm getting #DDOS-ed by #AIcrawlers right now, even though I have a strict robots.txt.
Outgoing traffic suddenly increased (more or less 10 times regular traffic).
I have to block their crap using my firewall. That's NOT OK.
