Nginx的access.log中提取的。其中的IP信息为攻击者的代理 IP，且取出了Cloudflare的IP。
收到新评论通知邮件
当我打开邮箱后提示有 5 封邮件未读，邮件的时间是间歇性的。一开始以为只是良性测试，但没过多久就冒出了大量重复的评论。
邮件的内容大致如下：
您的博客有新的评论！

对方产生邪恶的念头
该访客试探性地评论我的博客，发现并不需要审核就能够评论，接着就产生了邪恶的念头......
由于评论接口是限制了连续快速请求的，该攻击者一开始并不知道评论的具体间隔时间，然后不断地试探 rate limit（如果仔细阅读过源码就会发现，默认的 rate limit 时间其实是 5s）。
对方实施攻击计划
该攻击者迅速编写了 Python 脚本，准备攻击评论接口。

从日志中看到，出现了 400 的错误（Frequnt Access），该访客可能还未猜出精确的间隔时间。但攻击者仍不放弃，继续试图从浏览器上寻找评论的 rate limit：

从攻击的规律来看，一直在评论我的一篇文章，为了不给我其他访客造成影响，我只能被迫开启文章的评论审核功能。
最终，该攻击者终于找到了评论接口的 rate limit，于是间隔 5s 就发送一个 POST 请求：

尝试禁用该篇文章的评论
此后邮箱的状况如下图：
几乎所有的恶意评论都指向的同一篇文章，我尝试禁用该篇文章的评论功能（减少正常访客的影响）。
对方继续被追击
好景不长，攻击者随即发现了请求中出现了大量的 400 错误，于是就通过电脑的浏览器访问我的博客的被攻击的文章，评论之后才发现该篇文章的评论功能已经被禁用：

于是攻击者的武器升级了，开始乱抢扫射，遍历文章的 ID （该 ID 是从 1 开始的自增属性）并发送评论请求。我的邮箱就这么被狂轰滥炸（轻微）：
被迫关闭评论的 API
最后只能被迫关闭评论接口这个 API 了。同时也导致正常访客无法正常发送评论（攻击者的目的也达到了）。
对方终于放弃
在得到大量的 403 错误之后，对方终于放弃了。

不足
接口的限制不够灵活，仍然能够被有效地攻击。需要一个有效的限制策略，比如限制频率为 5s、1min、30min、1hour、3hour、6hour、12hours、24hours 等等。
