the source of dns amplification is *always* spoofed because it's by design the IP of the victim and not the offender

the goal of dns amplification is to flood the connection of the victim until no regular traffic is possible

the same /24 is sharing the same line and so it doesn't make sense in that context talk about single ip's at all

it also doesn't make sense to write abuse reports for such things because additionally to the technical packet flood you also flood human ressources with nosense there

they aren't the offender, they can't do anything about your issue because the are *the victim*

you are one of thousands or even millions of hosts the attacker is trying to get responses from to the victim

please try to understand https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/dns-amplification-ddos-attack/ and RRL is only useful for that type of attack, everything else don't matter for a DNS server and more important you can't distinct it anyways

Regardless if the source is spoofed or not, one should log it.
Especially with this amazon abuse cloud, how can you report abuse, they
want to have an ip address to be able to investigate if something
originated from their network.

If you log 0/24 you might as well log no range at all.

Are newer version of bind still logging like this

3.9.41.0/24

I already reported, that it is not to smart to log 3.9.41.0/24, better

could be logged 3.9.41.100/24 so you know the offending ip

there is nothing like an "offending ip" in case of dns-amplification
which is usually what happens in context of RRL

it's the forged destination of the attack you see and nothing else
