Apparently IGN Entertainment tried to DoS me.

[Blockzillahead]

Checked my router's log files and found this like 10 minutes ago;

[DoS attack: STORM] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [69.10.30.23], Saturday, Jul 27,2013 20:51:51

IP is linked to IGN Entertainment and the IP geo-location is the same as their HQ location.
It's only one log line, so it didn't keep going.




Anyway I doubt it's IGN themselves, probably a bug or something, or some handicap tried to DoS for the first time.

I also found this;

[DoS attack: IP Spoof] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [192.168.x.xx], Saturday, Jul 27,2013 19:34:17
[DoS attack: IP Spoof] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [192.168.x.xx], Saturday, Jul 27,2013 19:32:08

It's a local IP so it's from one of my other computers, could be a virus, I'll check it later.

I wouldn't put it past IGN lol.

Got a port it used, UDP, TCP?

I get DoSed/port-scanned/pinged all the time, mainly from China and eastern Europe though. Wouldn't worry about it honestly.

That's all it says for the long, no port no nothing.

Anyway my router automatically blocks DoS attacks.

A router cannot block an attack, only refuse to respond to it.

A router cannot block an attack, only refuse to respond to it.

So, in layman's terms, blocking the attack?

It's like getting punched and not acknowledging it.

[aludane]

Or it stops it from entering the LAN (obviously if the TCP port that's being used is open) once it's recognised as a DoS hence "blocking" it but again you could just say the packets are dropped. TCP mandates that traffic be organised, sequential and such, what I think Kalphiter is saying would be when the router refuses to acknoledge the source IP address and therefore couldn't care if packet loss happens, or such.

Enter 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in your browser link box. If a box appears asking for password + user, enter the default username and password, you can find these online, it's not your Wi-Fi password. It's usually something simple like "admin" for username and "password" for password.

Then from there the interface is different on routers, just go around until you find your logs, if it has that option or is set to record any.

or type open command prompt, enter ipconfig and look for your network connection that gives your network access, usually called Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection but could be different and find the gateway IP from there. Though it's usually either those two you mentioned it might not be for all network hardware.

AT&T U-verse router/modem combos log on at 192.168.1.254. No credentials are needed to view the logs.

Bumping because apparently someone else has this too.

I wonder.
