When somebody started bragging about his superior coding skill then I said that talk is cheap and that I wanted to see code (for some reason, this pissed her off) and then she started to DDoS me :^)

spoiler alert: she got a huge fine for it AND got fired from her job (whose servers she used to perform the DDoS)

    His, her, she?
    Maybe a transformer? (decepticon if it is hot and pissed off all free time) Dude you are lucky to be alive!

    In all seriousness sounds like a kid. Bragging, trying to impress/act out on every offence by being the script kiddy. I hope she learned some things have consequences and are far more important than being called on bluff. But most likely she got more pissed and gets to be a better scriptkiddo

    DDoSing is lame. I'd just switch to a different connection :P

    @filthyranter ye, once I started to notice what was going on, I just hit a button on my router to give me a new external IP

    @FinlayDaG33k That probably wouldn't work for me as switching IPs changes a certain entry on one of my domains (DDNS yay).

    @filthyranter Isn't that kinda the whole point of DDNS?

    I use CloudFlare and had build a little Python script that gets my current IP and updates the A record for my DNS.
    I have several A records (one for going to my home, one for going to my hosting provider and one for going to my honeypot).
    Then I just use CNAMEs to make those automagically update as the A record it points to gets updated

    @FinlayDaG33k Yes it is the whole point of DDNS. But it also prevents me from changing my practically static IP (seriously, I have to call my ISP for them to assign me a different one, restarting the router does nothing)

    @filthyranter Odd...
    But I don't see how DDNS would interfere with your IP changing?

    @FinlayDaG33k Well, if all they need to do is lookup the new IP, changing it to prevent DDoS won't do much.

    @filthyranter idk how much people know your DDNS but my home IP is hidden behind CloudFlare :p

    The only people that can lookup my IP by means of DNS entries are the ones who I invite for something like my MC server or the ones that manage to get that one specific DNS entry that directly links to my house (which is a CNAME, so gl finding that randomly) :p
