As another Digital Ocean user - I'll just say I'm happy to hear that other people running DDOS and/or dictionary attacks from the same IP pool I'm relying on get slapped down _hard_, and that excuses like "but I'm doing this for a Uni assignment!" don't give you a free run to be a bad actor in their (and "my") netblock.

Do you _really_ think you have a "right" to run a dictionary attack from someone else's network? _Seriously?_

Personally - from looking at my fail2ban logs, I wish Amazon - and even more usefully, large residential cable/adsl providers - would implement this sort of pro-active monitoring of user/customer behavior.
