Use a VPN. A free one is called Hotspot Shield. It can slow network performance however. Alternatively find their MAC address and manually block it.

you do not get access to the attacking Mac address that info gets cut out of the packet long before it gets to your end, you can blacklist the IP's the attacker is using to ddos with in your routers firewall or you can simply just assign the port you are using for skype to a proxy.

Can if you know how to use a packet sniffer thingy. I forget what its called

wire shark? or the outdated Cain and able skiddies still use??? and no the mac info gets pulled out of the header before it hits the isp's gateway they do this for many reasons one of them is to prevent other hackers from cloning your modems HFCMAC address and stealing/cloning your modems certs and stealing your internet connection...now if you are a half decent network annalist you can use some meta data withing the header to get a idea of where the traffic came from and trace it back and attain the attackers mac but not the way you are thinking of.

Yes use a VPN, you can get a good free one at privitize.com

I cant remember it was ages ago when i was into that hacking stuff :/ it was some sort of dodgy program.

have you ever looked into how a packet header works as it goes through various network's or devices ???


"The application layer sends the data (to be transferred to remote destination ) to the transport layer.
The transport layer puts its header in the beginning and sends this complete packet (TCP-header + app-data) to the IP layer.
On the same lines, The IP layer puts its header in front of the data received from TCP (Note that data received from TCP = TCP-header + app-data).
So now the structure of IP datagram becomes IP-header + TCP-header + app-data.
This IP datagram is passed to the ethernet layer which on the same lines adds its own header to IP datagram and then the whole packet is transmitted over network.

On the destination host, the reverse process happens. This means that each layer reads its own header in the packet and then strips the header so that finally application receives the app-data."

as you can see each device strips the previous info from the previous device before forwarding the packet on to its destination.......

you can trace the packet back to the destination and then you can exploit the attackers IP and attain the attackers MAC but even then you are better off just looking up your routers logs and seeing what IP's are Pinging/DDos you and blacklisting them.

skimmed read that but yeah i agree

put the skype port to a proxy:) you can download a free one anywhere:)P
