You can either use the samspade.com site or any other that performs the WHOIS search. What that does is trace the offending IP address back to its owner (aka ISP). From there you can send a copy of the attack log to them hoping they will either slap his/her wrist or maybe even boot them. Depends on the ISP though cause some could care less while some will bring down the axe immediately. FWIW, I wouldn't report it unless it had a very high severity reading or it the little bugger was persistent. Here's an example. Got an attempt from the following address: 24.114.29.198 cr83063-c.pr1.on.wave.home.com Search results from samspade.org WHOIS search ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ACME Address Digger Results (Version 2.0alpha) Let's go!
