If you see an unknown person walk up to your car and try all the doors, the hood and the trunk, even if it's parked on a public street, you'd likely call the police.
Agreed. I believe that contacting Linode's abuse desk is akin to calling the police.Remember, just because you call the police / report the problem to Linode, that doesn't mean that the perpetrator will be identified / dealt with.
What annoys me more is that every two-bit organization is now doing this under the banner of "research" .. so now, instead of a single guy checking your car, we've got entire communities probing not only your car but also your house.
I would suggest parking your car in a non-public space / behind a firewall -- if at all possible.
How much "noise" should we tolerate before we decide it's a problem? Until it saturates our uplink(s)?
That's up to each recipient of such actions.
While I have automated mitigations in place, these do have limits that I'd rather not reach.
Responses once the limits of toleration are also up to recipients of such actions.
My opinion is that gone are the days where we can expect non-public ports to be left alone while still being accessible on the Internet.
