@wiardvanrij how did you mitigate it?

Magic.
I created some scripts to process the requests based on the time, type of requests.
Then I used reverse lookup to check if it was an aws instance.
That list got inserted in the firewall :)@YourNemesis -
@wiardvanrij Nice thinking ;)

Ugh I'm getting so owned. Currently having a burst DDOS on a host of ours. It is always at xx:00 and xx:30 for ~2 minutes from ~200++ unique AWS instances (Ip's).
Not long enough to ban them (max 2-3 requests per IP), not general enough to ban them on the type of request.. and the IP's.. yea... It would result banning all the amazon subnets which is also not an option lol.
Now waiting I guess.. I sent an email to amazon
