If they are not local, the community which they live in is probably
interested in knowing who they are and what they do as well.



Still no definate answers, mostly b/c I have not had time to do anything but redirect the site. But the logs show a significant amount of traffic from Saudi Arabia, and the site was defaced with arabic and a picture of Osama Bin Laden. So it looks like a free software developer is a victim of retaliatory strikes due to the war on terror.

Did the server get rooted as well? or just defaced ?  If its not rooted,
then you may have some log file information that may be useful.  (of
course even if its there, it may not help, depends on the sophistication
of the attacker.)



No answer from the ISP yet

Also - would you consider putting up a honeypot? If they attacked once,
they may try again and it would be much easier to find out who it is if a honeypot is active.




I don't think it is worth the trouble. They are untouchable, and I'll be busy rebuilding the site.
