I have heaps of log entries that look like below. Each IP address tries
only 1 to 4 times. It looks like a new bot army is trying to crack
servers without triggering detection. It's not the usual attack where
one server tries hundreds of times on a small set of addresses.
If you have any intrusion detection systems expecting a single IP
address, they won't work anymore.
