Im about to be DDoSed

Hi guys. This guy from another state continues to threaten to DDoS me. We skyped, unfortunatley, and now he has my IP.

He knows what he's doing and now I don't know what to do!

How can i defend myself, please help o.o

DDoS attacks use up your bandwidth. As a result, your internet bill will probably go over if you don't have unlimited bandwidth.

what threats is he sending you?
if they are major, pick up your phone and dial 911

@countlof: i doubt you have an estatic IP, so there's a way...

go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and write your IP, then unplug your modem from the power cord for a couple minutes then plug in and go to that address again, if it says you got a different IP then you're safe, if not: unplug for a longer period.

a DoS attack isn't really harmful, they will just flood you with requests trying to make you lag, it's not like you'll get hacked or something either

Just using an IP Address?

DC your router or unplug the ethernet cable for 5 minutes.

You're now given a new IP Addrees.

Denial of Service I think. Pretty much shutting you down.

disconnect your internet for about 5-10mins

That's probably an empty threat. Although, if you have his name, you could actually report him to the police. DDoSing is illegal.
