| Apr 2, 2020 at 15:25 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | You don't think that the use of botnets to brute-force credentials and stay under rate-limiting thresholds and IP-blocking measures is relevant? That's a very strange opinion to have since that is a core use case for botnets ... | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 15:10 | comment | added | h22 | Yet the OP wrote to change. I do not see answers like "the attacker can use multiple machines with fixed IPs from botnet" as very relevant. | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 15:09 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | Also, VPNs/Proxies allows a single machine to have virtually unlimited IPs. | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 15:08 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | The OP does not specify "IP of a machine". You've added that assumption. | |

| Apr 2, 2020 at 15:06 | comment | added | h22 | The question is how fast it is possible to change the IP address of a machine, I assume, a single one. How it is relevant how many machines or networks the attacker is actually using? | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 10:49 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | This answer assumes the remote attacker only has one machine and one network and uses one cloud provider. It also seems to ignore all the rest of the factors presented in all of the other answers. | |
