locating a scraper using server IP address, when it is being run from a shared hosting, will be quite tricky. more than one users on the same IP address, at best you will find that IP belongs to hosting provider and no point publishing "personal details" of hosting provider.

In my case, running a wpmu site, I got struck by scraping attack from Russian IP. I concluded it is a 'scraping' based on amount data they downloaded from my site in a short span of time (less than 12 hours). Data downloaded was like 500mb, closed to 12000 http request. that practically get my site almost inaccessible during that period. when I tried reverse DNS, not much information other than that IP belongs to a russian ISP.

so my best remedy was just to block that IP range (95.108). Any way, blogs on my site are mostly in English, I doubt a russian will be reading it or registering a blog.

I wonder how google (blogger.com) is dealing with this kind of problem.
