Block IP after a number of ASM Blocks
Problem this snippet solves:
There is no reason to let Attacker hand over all information at once.
How to use this snippet:
Add the iRule to the virtual Server and activate iRule after ASM Block in the ASM Profile.
Please let me know if you need help with this
Code :

Useful for blocking harvesting # activities (or at least slowing them down significantly). # # Use this iRule at your own risk. If your site has a propensity # to throw off lots of 404 errors in normal operation, you may # inadvertently find valid users blocked. # Set the maximum number of WAF blocks for a client IP in a # certain period of time.

Thank you for the iRule it is exactly what I was looking for !
One question regarding the point "activate iRule after ASM Block in the ASM Profile". is it the option "Trigger ASM iRule Events" on the ASM profile ? If yes did you set it to "normal mode" or "Compatibility Mode" ? Thanks !
Nice! You can also do this as ASM_REQUEST_DONE that is triggered even before ASM_REQUEST_BLOCKING (this way some CPU may be saved) with an if statement to check if after the request is seen by the ASM if there is a violation ( [ASM::status] equals "blocked" ) and then to check the table as I have done this for a DOS attack.
In some cases if there is a XFF (X-Forwarded-For) better use it as the client's real source ip check as I have in my irule:
