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.
