By "bothering with me" I mean "add my IP to the long list of IPs they are scanning".
By the way, I find it annoying that my logs get filled with this kind of trash. It has the perverse effect of making me long for something like Google Analytics since they rarely if ever bother running a javascript runtime.
- epcoa 3y agoThat long list isn’t curated, it’s every publicly routable IPv4 address. It really does not take long to run some canned probes against 3.7 billion addresses. Making your service IPv6 only tends to cut down on this traffic. You’re anthropomorphizing a script on some botnets.
- ericpauley 3y agoThis isn’t entirely true. Many scanners do preference specific IP ranges such as cloud providers. Cloud IPs receive substantially more scanning traffic than darknet IPs or even random corporate IPs.

- ozim 3y agoNo one is maintaining a list they just scan all. Scanning every IPv4 there is on a single port takes minutes.
