Re: changing my ip said by nowwhat :@ 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
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  |

If you can find out the IP of the person threatening you, you can look their IP up at ARIN, that IP will have an abuse email/phone # which you can phone and report the action. |

Yeah, but all you need is someone to give your new ID to them and you'll be DDoS'd. Or maybe they'll find you again. After all, you changed your skype ID once already to no effect (they won't keep DDoSing you off skype once you log off because it's pointless
And it could very well be someone on your contact list is passing your ID onto whomever's doing it. Since there doesn't seem to be widespread reports of this, changing your ID may only delay matters until you add back your mole. |

I'm not attacking you, I want to say that first. I'm sure you are a great and wonderful person who is being maligned. But there is some causality to be considered here.
Clearly some interaction is causing some juvenile (person) to want to attack you. I recommend you treat the cause instead of the symptom. Stop participating in whatever activity leads to the DoS. The attacker will grow bored (as juvenile's do) and move on to greener pastures. You may then resume enjoying the internet. That is a holistic approach to solving your problem.
My two cents. Your mileage may vary on this approach. You might even not care for it at all. |

1 edit | Basically what Raven's saying over here is if you are planning to troll, do so at your own risk. If you are not sufficiently prepared to wage cyberwar, don't do it :P
P.S. If you are not running any out looking services responding to incoming requests, you can't get "DDoSed". If you think the attacker is managing to disconnect you from the Internet, look for vulnerabilities.

Actually, most DDoS's to residences are packets/sec or traffic DoS's. They aren't even targeting your applications, just sending you so many packets/so much traffic that you're dead in the water.
There are plenty of DoS attacks that do target specific applications, but those are more often not distributed, since they attack specific vulns and don't require a large number of hosts hammering the port. </semanticsLawyer> |

DDoS is such an abused term in that way that you'll notice I only ever said DoS. A DDoS usually requires a cloud of zombie bots at the attacker's command, and most munchkins on the internet don't have that. Sure, some do, but most nuisances are just kids with scripts. If one isn't sure that the attack is in fact ditributed, DoS is the umbrella.
rDDoS syn-ack attacks are an exception. |

| You guys are both wrong. Denial of Service means denying the service to the legitimate respondents. OP is not running any services. He may be getting flooded, but his router should pretty much ignore all requests to closed ports.
It would take a few dozen computers with very gracious upload channel to shut OP's router from the Internet.
I'm still leaning towards a vulnerability on the router or through an open port. |

I'm not wrong. "In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users"
The network resource called "the internets (subtitle: a series of tubes)" is unavailable to the intended user 'unhinged'. Therefore I am right. My rightness is known! Legendary!

kudos:1 | So now you have two applications you use where changing your IP is useless because the moment you do it again, you'll just be attacked again at your NEW IP.
Changing your IP is only good for the first second, that's it. Once they identify you, you're going to be attacked again.
Alas, unless you can play against a less juvenile group, you're pretty much screwed. If you play professionally, you're really screwed - once money gets involved, it's open season for dirty tricks. |
