It's the windows server mailing list oO
Does he attack the server port (udp - for gametraffic | tcp for rcon)?
If he is doing this, you can try to use a packet sniffer and block this
malicious packets with a firewall.
He can also abuse other server daemons/services or attack any port (also
blocked ports) with a dDoS.
You have to find out which attack he is using. Ask your provider for more
support. Maybe he can help you.
