I think what you're proposing is:
1. Collect data for DOS-prevention purposes.
2. Analyze it afterwards in aggregate for advertising purposes.
Except you can't do #2 without turning #1 into "collect data for DOS-prevention and advertising purposes", which goes beyond your legitimate interest in collecting the data.
I agree that #2 should be allowed if you'd do #1 anyway, but this isn't how the GDPR works.
