I’m getting a lot of brute force and port scans from DO IPs. I am reporting repeat offenders (and blocking them with fail2ban) but I’m not sure what to put in the ‘Digital Signature’ box. Is this the offending IP or something?

That probably doesn’t need to be there for brute force reports. Toss your name in there and be done with it, that field was intended for DMCA. Honestly I never submit that particular form so I had never seen it, but it has been brought to our team’s attention now.
