Any ideas on why anyone would do this? What could possibly be gained for these asshats? I don't get it.
It comes down to what they're trying to do with these nodes. They could be possibly testing some exploit or something (e.g. Bloom filter as listed in OP). I'm not really sure at the moment, and there isn't much information about it either. However, they don't seem to be causing much damage (besides crashing a few nodes) so there's nothing to worry about. I'm still waiting for Amazon to contact me back.
