We are part of an online community that is under attack (going on 3 months now) by someone who is sending e-mail bombs and cracking our systems. Avoiding the e-mail bombs isn't a problem. But, we keep getting hit by intrusion attempts. They've broken through (3 firewalls and Norton Internet Security) twice now through bombardment attacks. Now, when we start getting hit, we get offline and disconnect our cable modem for a bit. It's gotten to the point where my husband doesn't even want to use the computer any more.

My question is this... What GOOD programs are out there that can help us trace this person and nail him? The Norton pops up the immediate IP. But, it's already been traced through chains of as many as 6 IPs. Most of our traces point to a single person...who has been put on notice. But, we don't want to take further legal action until we're sure it's him and not someone trying to frame him (a very real possibility).

Any information/advice would be greatly appreciated!
