Yes, this is correct. I’d get at most 2 hits from an IP, spaced minutes apart.
I went as far as blocking every AS that fetched a tripwire URL, but ended up blocking a huge chunk of the Internet, to the point that I asked myself whether it’d be easier to allowlist IPs, which is a horrid way to run a website.
But I did block IPv6 addresses as /48 networks, figuring that was a reasonable prefixlen for an individual attacker.
