Get a new IP and don't let them have it.
Reset your router, pull the plug n all the wires on that bitch. Let it stay off for a few mins, then plug it back in. Usually resets your IP.
I haven't done that ina min but awhile ago it workd.
I'm pretty sure theres a command you can put in the CMD promt but I dont know it by heart.
There was an IP release or some shit, but that never seemed to work for me.
It would depend on whether you have a static or dynamic IP address.
Go to www.whatismyip.com and note down ur current IP address, then unplug ur router/modem for 60 seconds, then re-plug it back in and check if it has changed.
If not, then you may have to leave it unplugged for 24 hours.
Before/During you're changing your IP, find out how he has obtained it otherwise changing ur IP is almost pointless.
The easiest ways he could get ur IP is:
- Getting ur IP through skype is easy as fuck and can be done without even having you on the contact list. (I've had to make several new skype accounts because of this, and only give my skype out to friends)
- If you're using a vent or Team speak server, make sure everyone who has the admin rights hasn't given yours out. Ask someone to check the logs if possible.
- If you visited a link that someone posted, you could have been redirected through a site without even knowing, which would give that person ur IP.
Don't talk to random people on skype, don't add random people from tibia on skype, or let them know ur skype name.
Don't enter vent or team speak servers without knowing and trusting ALL admins.
Never goto links that people post in game, unless you are COMPLETELY sure they are legit.
And as of protecting urself against these attacks, I'm sure there is some way you could do it, but I guess it would be complex and time consuming, I think hiding ur IP is easier by doing the above steps.
"A little birdy told me" that he uses a botnet website from Brazil, It's insane and you can literally DDOS someone REALLY HARD with just a few clicks of the mouse, and tracing it back to who actually initiated it is not going to happen.
Honestly, I have many people who would love my IP address and who do and have DDOS'd me a lot in the past, although they haven't been able to get it for over 6 months now, you just gotta be careful :)
If that doesn't work, you should go into your router settings via the browser and clone MAC address which should change your ip. I used this method because resetting router/modem didnt work for me.
Inaccurate term yes , " Using the word "ping" has originated in the Tibia culture because people have no clue what the hell they are talking about" Negative , 4 years ago i asked my teacher how to ping people and he pretty much showed me how to do it and im pretty sure he didnt play tibia , anybody who understand was DoS and what a botnet is will understand the inaccurate term "pinging somebody" its not tibia term :P
@Mannow
Thanks for your information.
I already have discovered (I think) that he has my IP by the ventrilo.
He is admin on there.
I'm going to try to reset my IP!
Everybody needs to see this! All i ever hear from my friends is "OHH IM GETTING PINGED JAJAJAJAJ" lol pisses me off so much lol.
@Xeromex
you can get a new ip sometimes by unplugging your router or you can even request a new one from your isp if you explain to them what's happening! then once you've done that don't go into skype/vent/any voip or messenger service or any website links from/with anyone you don't know or anyone you don't trust.
or if you don't want any restrictions you should use a *high quality VPN to hide your real ip from 99% of these kids attacking you.
* because low quality = lagg
edit: Also using a vpn while they still have your current ip will do NOTHING you need a new ip first.
You can find some good free VPN software if you google it and Hotspot Shield is a decent one but sometimes can be laggy but it can play tibia and skype pretty well most of the time
