Sometimes the attacker using a zombie computer. I mean the attacker crack a box then use it to attact your site. Other possibilities they sign up a hosting account using stolen credit card and use it to attact your site.
So I think it's hard to punish them. Block any IP addresses which attact yours I think is the best way.

Don't portsentry automatically ignore the IPs?
