A question for people who know their AWS:

The technique I'm using on my home server with Fail2Ban - exple.tive.org/blarg/2025/05/2… - is simple: "anyone who gets served up a 404 catches an immediate iptables DROP.

It doesn't look like there's an easy way to get from "AWS WAF rule feeds this visitor a 404 way up here in level 7" to "... next time the firewall or load balancer sees them coming, drop their packets on the floor."

Any way to tie those together in AWS-land?

it's not going to be pretty...

My initial thought was 'EventBridge' but apprently the logs don't contain the response, only the client request info..

The official solution is... custom Python lambda functions to parse the WAF and Application logs:

@alan Oooh, good catch, and that one's on me. My bad. In the original it was two paragraphs. Will announce the solution in my Substack on Wednesday. 😃

We made the most of the good weather today on our Scotland adventure, and took the ferry from Orkney main Island to Westray. The goal of the trip was to see some puffins and maybe some seals. Goal achieved! But there are some other things on the island, so we also checked out the ruin of Noltland Castle. Well worth the visit, and a nice view from there, also.

Scoop: Threat intelligence reports obtained by WIRED and @propertyofthepeople.org show military and state-run fusion centers are tracking civilian-made ICE encounter maps, while others distribute "threat" alerts about tomorrow's "No Kings" protests. By me @wired.com (free to read):

🇮🇱 Israeli PM Netanyahu: “Israel is with you!” — addressing the people of Iran, he urged them to rise up against their government.

“We’re in the midst of one of the most important military operations in our history. Israel fights the regime, not the people of Iran. The repressive regime is weaker than ever. We admire the brave Iranian people.”

Mass deportation & lg-scale IMM enf require a #policestate -more of a crackdown you demand -will look & act like one.

When the govt sends parl-style LE into ppl’s NBHDs -no longer some abstract ARG re “the border.” Armored vehicles & flash-bangs: outside your grocery store.

>200 miles from: MX border -not what anyone believed BP was going to do when they voted to expand it to be the fed govt's largest LE.

Surprisingly, Russian soldiers used scissors to down a Ukrainian fiber-optic drone — but Kyiv also knows a trick or two

Russia’s latest defense against Ukraine’s fiber-optic drones is a pair of scissors. It works—but not at scale.
