My instance is getting pummeled by scrapers crawling nonsense. Like issue and pull searches with every single variant of label combinations.

Everything's coming from a shitload of different residential IPs at a very fast cadence.

There's just not that much content on my instance to warrant this traffic. It could be scraped in a minute or two like this if it were legitimate traffic.

[...] crazy bot traffic trying everything from MySQL connections, ssh, Wordpress sniffing, xss attacks, you name it.

oh yeah, I see that on everything. I'm not so worried about those vuln scanners than this overwhelming nonsense traffic that I'm seeing now. This is different, and seemingly pointless.
