Marcelo, this is interesting... please help us understand your problem better. 1. Are your logs showing the same 30 IPs hitting your site each second? Or is the total number of IPs much higher? 2. Are different pages being requested? Or is it the same page being hit again and again? 3. Are any of the pages that require login being accessed by the attacker/bot/suspect, according to your access logs? 4. Are you seeing any outgoing connections from the web server? Thanks! -Roshen.
