Suicide Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 If you have a router, which means you connect through wireless, then do the following: Go to your router, and find the reset button on the back of it. Get something you can hold it down with, and hold it down for 10-15 seconds. If you have a modem, then find your default IP (you can do this by going to CMD and typing ipconfig). And follow default instructions to reset your IP. GL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma# Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 o.o Modems get IP addresses assigned by the ISP's DHCP server. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17433034 It appears that: The assigned IP address will be given back to you even after it's expiration time as long as: 1. The equipment requesting the IP has the same MAC address. 2. The IP address previously assigned wasn't issued to another client during the time it was released. (This rarely happens unless there is a major outage, a shortage of assignable IP addresses, or the client released the IP for several days.) So IF you want to change your IP, the easiest way is to change the MAC address of the device requesting it. If you're behind a router, chances are it'll show up in your router logs.

Tengauge12 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Simple.. If you have a Dynamic IP address.. Easily change it.. If you're on a Static IP; Call your internet provider and have them flush your DNS/DHS from their server and wait a good 30mins/1hr prior to plugging back in your connection. Everyone in this entire world has an IP Address. Which is provided by the server connections through the IP (Internet Provider). So, just call and have them flush out your DNS/DHS from their servers.

R3AP3R Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 YES IM Dynamic thats what he said okay so flush DNS/DHS Okay cool calling tommorow evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengauge12 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Reaper.. With a Dynamic IP Address.. You can easily just unplug everything wait 5minutes, plug it back in and your IP address will have already changed. EDIT: Mind you.. Unplugging everything, means from the Modem and Router.

Ron Paul Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Change your Skype - Don't give it out easlily Use proxies when clicking links, some pictures can grab your IP address. Don't say things to people to make them want to DDoS you. Record the time of the attack. Record your own IP address at the time of attack. (http://whatismyip.com) Record the attackers IP address if possible. Never fight back by attacking the attacker. If you are using a dialin, disconnect and reconnect to your ISP. Find out what domain the attacker's IP address is in. Contact your internet service provider for help and have them advise you of your rights in this matter.

jajolt Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Reaper, DDoS attacks are illegal... If you actually know the person let someone know, I think it's a fine (depending on the state) of ~$250. If you know the ip or of them, also inform someone.

LazaHorse Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Reaper, DDoS attacks are illegal... If you actually know the person let someone know, I think it's a fine (depending on the state) of ~$250. If you know the ip or of them, also inform someone. Actually... they aren't. If it's one person, it's not even a DDoS, it's a DoS. And unless that person is causing significant loss to Reaper or provides for a significant threat (tampering with medical information or identifying information), it's not illegal under the the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. In other words, if it doesn't hurt anyone/anything of "importance" it isn't illegal. It's a nuisance, and you can file a claim against the person, but only in a civil case, not a criminal one. You would also have trouble doing that if he's not American (Reaper suggests he's Canadian). Best choice is to fix it on your end through the suggestions listed above.

It's consider Computer Abuse, and it's a federal crime to manipulate computer code in order to cause a negative impact on another user. I highly doubt this guy is is DDoSing you from his own connection. He might be logging into a booter (Website that are designed to DDoS). These booters are really strong, and you should contact your ISP to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazaHorse Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Actually it's illegal. It's consider Computer Abuse, and it's a federal crime to manipulate computer code in order to cause a negative impact on another user. I highly doubt this guy is is DDoSing you from his own connection. He might be logging into a booter (Website that are designed to DDoS). These booters are really strong, and you should contact your ISP to help you. 1. Usually DoS attacks do nothing with computer code. They simply overload an internet connection/access to a network to prevent usual users from doing so. 2. "Negative impact" is a highly subjective term, one that lawyers have picked apart in civil suits concerning DoS attacks. That has since led to the law I was referring to before, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The legality of DoS attacks are limited by a specified amount of "damages" or "loss". Since we all know you're not going to read through the law itself, here's the wiki on the legality of DoS attacks (though admittedly a short excerpt). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack#Legality Here's the wiki on the law I'm referring to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act The CFA Act protects computers used for business, government, and medical use. It protects private computers and networks, but only to the extent that the attacks cause damages. *EDIT* A bit more if you're interested on Civil and Criminal difference in DoS attacks: http://www.technicallylegal.org/the-legality-of-denial-of-service-attacks/ You cannot attack a "protected" computer, and private computers are allowed to file civil suits (though the expected "loss" for any such suit to be taken seriously should exceed $5,000).

Glass Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 If your address really was being attacked/overloaded your ISP's Network Operations Center would certainly detect it either through their active (or passive, whichever they use) packet inspection, and block the attacks. Either way, your router is assigned a single (or a very small range of) Global IP address(es) and uses what's called NAT (network address translation) to assign multiple unique IP addresses on your local network, which are then combined at the Router into one signal on your Global IP address issued from your ISP. Resetting the router will help, but not because it will change your Global IP address. Most likely the problem is something internal to your network, which will be assigned a new address through your router's DHCP scheme hopefully fixing your problem.

enigma# Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 please don't derail the thread. I haven't heard back from Reaper. He'll let us know if the issue is resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
