1) you can't, because attribution is somewhere between hard and impossible. even if somene came straight up and told you "i did it", you wouldn't be legally allowed to strike back. but maybe you can sue.
2) the usual goto is clowncloudflare, but that means parts of your audience will start seeing fucking captchas every. time. they. visit... also massive privacy issues because cf man-in-the-middles all your traffic. the non-annoying, privacy-friendly approach would be to get a bigger server/pipe, which depending on the scale of expected attacks can get expensive so that may or may not be an option.
