To find the LUA scripts that do not depend on a centralized catcha service, search for "nginx lua ddos". [1][2] I do not have a live example at the moment as I took my hobby sites offline while the dust settles around the new California AB 2273 law. Most of these give site-wide examples but one can run the LUA by locations or other ACL's to protect specific resources or exclude specific resources from protection. e.g. RSS feeds.
