Long time, could use some help!

Sup Argonath?

Haven't been here in a long time but my website has been suffering DDOS attacks lately and I'm wondering who it could be. I immediately thought about Argonath as they suffered from DDOS attacks a lot in the history as I recall. I know the attackers got found almost every single time as well.

So I was wondering, how could I find out who's attacking my site? as far as my knowledge goes it's a program which is sending 100 visits per second from ips out of the united states (which are logged on the site as well) and that causes the site to get off air.

It's on now, though I really wanna figure out who's being a fool.

Thanks in advance!

Are you using a standard web hosting account? Or is it a VPS / Dedicated server? Either way you should contact your host and see what they can do about the attacks.

Also, if using a Linux VPS or Dedicated server, look up 'tarpitting' in IP tables.
