| Change your MAC address on whatever is connected to the modem,
Router - Look for MAC Clone
Direct to computer, look for something with Physical Address in the advanced properities,
Apply,
Shutdown computer/unplug power from router
Unplug modem, power modem back up, wait for lights to become solid,
Plug power to router back in, or turn back on computer, should have a different IP.

Do a live chat with Shaw to make sure that your free second IP is enable on your account.
Then follow Kevinds' instructions above. |
|
| If the 2nd IP is enabled, then you can skip powering off the modem.
If your modem is set for 1 IP, the modem power cycle is needed.

| well shaw enabled my second ip they said but it still wasnt changing.. so last night i started getting ddosed again and i connected my router and it changed my ip.. so i get back on and i instantly started getting ddosed again and i have no idea how they got my new ip (the way they got it the first time was through skype but i had it off when i connected my router)
does connecting my router to change my ip not change the ip they are ddosing me through or something? |

| does connecting my router to change my ip not change the ip they are ddosing me through or something?
Did it change your external (Shaw IP) or just the one showing on your computer? Use ipchicken.com or whatismyip.com Personally, I prefer ipchicken.com
I don't know any of the services you have on your network, but one of them might be updating 'them' what your new IP is. Example, connecting to a game server, will show your "game-name" and IP. Or any other service that you may not have authorized running on your computer.
It isn't likely, but it is possible, that someone is deliberately attacking you for some reason, and have also put the resourses behind tracking your IP changes.

I'm not a big fan of treating symptoms (getting DDoSed). Let's try and find the cancer: What are you doing to provoke attacks? |

I'm not a big fan of treating symptoms (getting DDoSed). Let's try and find the cancer: What are you doing to provoke attacks? That's a good point - changing your IP is useless if you're gonna do whatever is causing you to be DDoS'd to begin with. After all, if it's IRC, everyone will just see your new IP and DDoS that. If it's a website, ditto. Changing your IP is useless unless people just randomly picked your IP.
Also, what is your DDoS? Is it just a bunch of rejected connections from your router? If it's that, there's nothing you can do - it's perfectly normal crap that goes on every day. Just botnets looking for more PCs to recruit and stuff like that. Can't avoid them, and part of the reason the activity light blinks constantly. |

This.
If you don't know how to change an IP (via MAC) how do you know you are getting DDOSed? Is the Antivirus 2013 telling you that? |

1 edit | Well, one's got to wonder. I saw this post yesterday and waited for OP to come back with some diagnostics...
like perhaps his pfSense logs, or maybe he used Fiddler to snoop on his packets...
You never know.
TBH I was going to reply that I've been "DDOSed" from some forums in the distant past as well, but then I thought I troll this forum too much. |

@ ilianame im pretty sure i know im getting ddosed since hte person who did it said hes about to ddos me then i couldnt use the internet for about 2 minutes... they got my ip through skype since someone showed it on stream and i got a new skype now |
|
| I have had that issue in the past,
I handled it by getting a more powerful router and added many more IPTables rules.

And that's your problem. Even if you get a new skype ID, if you call into someone who gave your ID to someone else, well, that just gives you a slight delay between when you can use it and getting DDoS'd again.
And since you probably WANT to use skype, a new IP doesn't really help because unless you find out who you call gave away your ID, you're just gonna get hosed. Repeatedly. (Skype needs your IP and whoever contacts you also needs your IP).
Either your router rebooted, which you should get a more powerful one (you didn't say what Shaw plan you're on), or you really have been flooded off. Nothing we can do about the latter unless you quit pissing off whomever's doing it or you just grin and bear it and hope they get bored and move onto something else. |

| He needs to set up a old machine as IDS with logging and pcap enabled to see exactly where its coming from and to log those packets. Contact the ISP of the offender supply them with a copy of those logs and packet caps, also CCing the email to the RCMP cyber crimes division to let the ISP know you are serious.
Won't be as funny for the no lifer doing it when they lose their (parents) internet connection and are faced with possible legal charges. |
|
| I've done that before,
Some ISPs are very helpful with it.
Fastest one, ISP called me 30 minutes later and asked if it had stopped yet, it hadn't, then they said, "What about now, we just null-routed their subnet".
Distrubuted Denial of Service won't work like that because being distrubuted, will be coming from multiple IPs, sometimes 10's of thousands - so far, I haven't had any that bad.

Well, changing your IP won't help because the instant you sign on skype again, they'll have your NEW IP and DDoS you. Your options are to either not use skype, or to just put up with it when it happens and hope they get bored. Or reconsider your choice in friends. |
|
| its no one on my skype friends list that is doing it.. you dont need to be on someones contact list to get their ip through skype unfortunately and i would get a new skype account once my ip was to change obviously.
@shawsean will do! thank you  |
