The apparatus for the attack source traceback includes: a server information extracting unit detecting an attack for a system, which is generated via a server to thereby extract information on the server; a traceback agent installing unit installing a traceback agent in the server based on the information on the server; and a traceback unit finding an attack source for the system by analyzing network information of the server obtained by the traceback agent.
