    One of my sites was hacked. I need help tracking the hacker down. This could be a lucrative opportunity for a pro that can give me a definitive name and address.

    Tracking the hacker down may be a fruitless effort if the person was using an Internet Cafe when he executed his hacking activity.

    donot waste your time to find hacker

    If the hacker has done some demage to you ,conact police and lodge a complaint

    This is the best way I can think of

    Make yourself more strong so that he is not able to hack you

    Regards

    name and address
    that would make definitely many millions of us$ !!
    and next day you have SAME problem with OTHER hacker again!
    global average is around ONE hacker per day per server

    best however and cheapest is as others said already
    find YOUR own responsibility in YOUR own lack of site / server / script security and solve your security holes to prevent being hacked.
    after all security fixes done
    install mod_security and eventually even snort
    scan your sites / servers using nessus fully updated as well.

    to do all that you need time
    may be up to one months ( = 400+ working hours ) !!!
    you need to KNOW your server/site/scripts/SW and have full access to all logs / access_log, error_log, /var/log/warn, /var/log/messages, etc.
