    The first line of defense should be to put rate-limiting on your login endpoints. rack-attack can help with that. I recommend to limit the login attempts to 5 per minute for a username and block the IP for 30 minutes. You should also limit the number of login attempts from the same IP address, but this needs to be adjusted to the application you are working on, because if it is a tool used in classrooms, it might be legit to have 50 logins within a few minutes from the same IP. (I have a few post written about rack-attack)

    The final gem I like to include in all projects is rack-attack. This is a rate limiting tool which is great for throttling dangerous actions in your app to prevent bot attacks or other malicious users.

    It's entirely normal and expected. If your site gets any traction, volume and sophistication of probing will only increase. I recommend starting by setting up Rack Attack (https://github.com/rack/rack-attack), that will help you block the bad actors for awhile, if the volume gets high enough you'll want to start blocking traffic upstream in reverse proxy or load balancing layer, depending on architecture.
