[nsp-sec] Annoying synfloods: 82.161.224.217 and 82.161.224.160

Good day teams,

A few of my customers have been feeling the pain of a 80/tcp synflood  
from a myriad of (obviously spoofed) sources for about two weeks now.

The targets and rates are:

82.161.224.217 = 150Kpps @ 52Mbit
82.161.224.160 = 200Kpps @ 75mbit

I'd share a list of sources, but just in the last hour it's 440341  
unique IPs, so I'm going with the spoofed explanation.

Both systems are meant to have http services running on them, and as  
they're colocated with multiple sites running on them, I am not yet  
sure what the intended destination is (trying to extract that from  
customer).

If you see large amounts of flow to either destination, I'd appreciate  
the help in stopping this.

Thank you.
