Every single one of these is an AI bot.
Amazon, openAI, Claude, Peplexity.
Also, every single one of these requests is malicious, attempting to steal credentials, keys or configs.
Looks like it's time to make the firewall filters smarter.

@BastilleBSD@fosstodon.org I know they don’t respect ROBOTS.TXT but not a bad idea to throw a line about avoid X link or else be banned for life and then anyone visiting that link is clearly a bot, can be banned forever. Bait essentially. For years people would say fail2ban isn’t worth the time but having a 1 line config to ban anyone accessing non-existing links aka crawlers that don’t respect ROBOTS.TXT is definitely worth it to me.
