Hi everyone.
I hope someone here has any clue or suggestion about the following. For
quite some days now I am having problems while chatting on IRC, a user
there doesn't seem to like me and floods me offline everytime he sees
me. He uses Linux behind a firewall and seems to know quite some stuff
(some say he's a hacker). Anyway, for what I have seen, he sends lots of
packets to my connection, overloading it thus. Miami detects a ping
flood (and ignores the pings I guess) but still I end up disconnected,
the modem (TKR TriStar V34 28.8) goes crazy.
Well, is there any way to protect myself against such flood attacks ? I
use Miami3.2b, and have thought about adding the IPs he floods from to
the IP-Filter, but it seems they differ every time he does so, and apart
that would not really help to keep my line clean, no ? The attacks don't
go through IRC, since AmIRC doesn't detect any floods. I am quite
helpless here and hope I had an ADSL connection.
I will EMail my ISP also and ask them for advice, but until then... I am
not sure if they can get to that person, since even when on IRC he seems
to hide his real IP address.
Any help appreciated.
TIA.
