Got DDoS'ed and now have a VPN

[JPSC]

I have read this:

"Log into your router > find your mac address (should look like this )> change one of the numbers to another number > save your settings and restart your modem

Don't change your mac address too many times per day as it might cause some problems with your ISP but this should change your IP making it impossible for the DDoSer to target you unless he/she gets your new IP"

Sounded right to me :(

Where did you get that bogus information from?

Block just stop talking.
I think you mean MAC Address filtering; i.e. you make a list of MAC Addresses allowed on your network and it prevents non-matching mac addresses from connecting to your network.

However, that is still irrelevant.

No.
A mac address is a physical address of any digital device; even your smart phone has a mac address.
They are pre-set by the manufacturer.

I just want to know where did he read that.

They are pre-set by the manufacturer.

But you can change them

But you can change them

Not very easily, if at all, on a computer.

I just thought if you change your MAC address, it forces your IP to change if it's dynamic.

Yah, you can

You can just reconnect your router to change your ip.

[Doomonkey]

Yah, you can

Looked up, not simple.

[Zeblote]

Please tell me how.

EDIT: Looked up, not simple.

Not simple does not mean that you can't do it

[Doomonkey]

Not simple does not mean that you can't do it

I never said you can't do it. I'm not sure where we are disagreeing.

late

That makes it easier to consistently perform a denial of service attack on someone.
