How to legally take care of a DDOS attacker

Wonder where you get that from

Jamie, continuing to harass me will do you no good.

My Mom is a lawyer, you can file a civil lawsuit for this.

Contact me with any further questions about this issue.
Under 18 U.S.C. §1029 cyber law, ddosing is illegal.

I don't think he would go to court over a little 10 year old with a booter. But yea telling somebody that you will open a lawsuit and provide proof is enough to scare them off. I was ddosed by literally an 8 year old who was banned for charge back. Told him that my host would blacklist his IP xD

Unless you're a fortune 500 company or someone of importance, most law enforcement really couldn't be bothered with your DDoS problems. Their resources are better allocated elsewhere. Really the only alternative for "legally" dealing with a DDoSer is to lawyer up, collect evidence, form a case, and sue someone (preferably the person DDoSing). Although there are criminal implications to DDoSing, it is almost always dealt with at the civil level, because as I stated before, most law enforcement really just don't care. Also, the majority of police departments are "tech dumb".

I'm entering the hosting bussniss, i can get rid of your attacks. PM me.

Not legally, i would just protect it.

Switch hosts to one with a proxypipe, or a similar method of handling DDOS attacks. I would recommend Jesse' host personally.

There is no such thing as a host with a "proxypipe". It's not a "method", it's the name of a company.

...Nor do I run a hosting company??
