Thinking about a noteguard filter that broadcasts nostr notes of the IP address of bots that spam my relay. Then other public relays could read that note and add it to their block list automatically (if they trust me).

Or could be at least be interesting as a diagnostic tool, could follow that account to monitor attacks.

Would be happy if the person spamming me right now gets banned from all public relays. Spammers don’t get censorship resistance on public relays, sorry.

yeah its a targeted attack that gets around my rate limiter. i’m already thinking of new kinds of tools on my relay to visualize number of notes coming from certain ip addresses, and a management tool that can ban them with a click. Attacking me is either really dumb or smart Show more

No solutions only trade-offs.

I've seen this 'rainbow spam' stuff on a few notes, seems to be on trending/popular notes, no? I think it's more than just you. Your posts are popular tho lol

That sounds more reasonable from a privacy point of view, only broadcasting IP addresses with some reasonable suspicion. Relays can use that info directly, but clients could also tell their relay to filter from a given IP address (though that's a bit dangerous as an attacker could use it to confirm...

This could also help normalize relays having npubs of their own :) If you built something like this I'd love to build a simple dashboard for it in noStrudel

i thought about this in the past. the danger is centralized banning.

What if you did a combination of a block List and allow List? so the users can subscribe to your list by default in your platform but then they could submit a set of users or IP to their personal allow list on their client and it permits these to come through or you could reference their followers ...
