I have a pretty generic contact page lander set up for some of my domains. Lately it's been getting upwards of 20,000 daily form submissions that fail the hidden recaptcha protection. On one hand, the recaptcha works pretty good. On the other hand, it pisses me off as a waste of resources by scum of the earth trolls. I periodically review my logs of failed attempts, sort & count the IP addresses, then permanently block the prolific offender IPs.
I just blocked a handful of IP's which accounted for the majority of those failed submissions.
Russian IP addresses, all of them. Putin's scammer army hard at work.
If you know how, block the following:
46.161.11.0/24
37.139.53.81
37.139.53.86
If you use iptables:
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s 46.161.11.0/24 -j DROP
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s 37.139.53.81 -j DROP
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s 37.139.53.86 -j DROP
