Hi, yesterday I received a weird email saying I exceeded my 5000 API request limit on AbuseIPDB. I found that very unusual because I have never ever exceeded even 1k requests a day, and checked my AbuseIPDB account and saw that I reported the same IP with the same URI 7 times.
That was weird but definitely was not showing 5000+ reports. I checked my Caddy logs on that same IP and I found that it was scanning my IP and domain hundreds of thousands of times and ListenCaddy was reporting basically every URI because it was an extremely loud scanner (wc -l counts lines in output).
So basically, in one single day, that IP made approximately 100k+ requests to me and ListenCaddy sent reports 29344 times (collectively which obviously exceeded daily 5k request limit), and one of the endpoints that IP was constantly scanning was Apache Tomcat (/manager/html) which ListenCaddy was constantly reporting even though it's the exact same offender and URI.
To avoid future API usage saturation, could suppression be implemented per-IP?
