Not really, because anyone can do it.

Would rather block the attack and worry about the culprit later.
I threw a honey pot out on my customer facing connection at work, it's amazing how you're literally under CONSTANT attack. Not of the DDoS variety necessarily, but someone always probing. Or watching the real time logs on one of my ASAs you can see constant access attempts trying to brute force in.

Like you said, it is wasted effort to try to go after who is doing it because even in the unlikely event you find and stop them there is another person ready to do it. The best way to stop someone is to make it a waste of their time.
