Hi,

My idea was not a retaliation of type attacking your machine. Not even closing
      the door. Simply throttling down (simulating line congestion for the
      attacker). There would be nothing significantly in your firewall logs, or
      even nothing. It would be simply that an increasing percentage of your
      (the attackers) packets will get lost. Nothing more. The maximum you would
      find in your firewall logs is an icmp message of type "host unreachable"
      of some intermediate router.

Greetings
