DDoS attacks -_-

1. In most cases you can't even get the correct city from an IP-address.
2. You can't find the house without finding the city/address.


If you are lucky and the attacks come from a single IP-address you can simply track back their host/ISP/country with one of many IP tracking websites, for example this one (The best one I found). But in many cases the attacker has a bot-net, this means that there a lot of computers sending packets to the server, and every of this computers may have it's own IP-address, in that case it's very hard to find the real attacker, turning off the server for several days would help, as the attacker loses interests in that attack, if it's only aiming on your server.

Probably the best (lol) solution would be contacting the steam support, as TF2 is an Orange Box game, I'm pretty sure they already have experienced that problem and would be able to help you, or your friend.

thank you , he decided turning off the servers for several days and see what will happen .

Steam won't be able to help you with people DDoS'ing your servers.

The old days you could trace an adress up by tracing a IP address since with the old 56kbps (and so on) modems they were directly linked to your house. However these days the only trace you could find out is where the connect link from your ISP's internet comes from.
