#ShieldsUp part 2: I needed something stronger against the swarm of scrapers bogging down my server by hammering my gitweb with inane requests, so welcome to 401 Unauthorized, my friend.

At least until the next time.
The *real* question now is: how do I make sense of this HUGE collection of IPs, many of which (random sampling) seem residential? This has more and more the appearance of a #botnet rather than just plain aggressive scrapers.
OK, found a more aggressive scraping defense mechanism that has managed to catch over 9000 distinct IPs. Is there a way to semi-automatically analyze this, collect the relevant subnets and find who they are assigned to, to see what the downsides would be of the subnet-wide ban?
In case you needed another reason to lock in your 2026 season tickets.
