The Order - Denial Of Service Attack Instructions
Due to a lot of questions in the White Hat Help section about members having issues with receiving (distributed) denial of service attacks, I want to clear some things up. This thread will explain a few things about Denial of Service attacks, and what to do when you are getting attacked.
What is a Denial of Service Attack?
A Denial of Service attack, better known as DoS or DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service Attack) is basically flooding a certain network or connection with packets of the attacker's choice. Well known DDoS attacks are ICMP attacks, UDP floods, SYN Floods, and Slowloris attacks. Most of the routers we use nowadays automatically block ICMP attacks, so there's no real need to worry about them. When you are getting attacked, it will most likely be by spoofed UDP packets.

What do I do when I'm getting attacked?
There is not much you can do when you are getting attacked. Most people recommend calling your ISP, or if you have a dynamic IP, you could try plugging your router in and out.
What most people here don't tell you, is that you can block the protocol that is used against you. Unfortunately, for this to work, you'd have to know the protocol that's being used against you.
If you're getting attacked by a specific person, and not someone using a stresser, you can use TCPView to get his IP address. Then insert his address on whois, then contact his ISP, and explain them the situation. They will be helpful most of the time.
Another solution is to try to change your MAC address. This is done via your router's homepage, every router's homepage is different, so you'll have to find out how you do that on your model yourself.

The End
This was a small thread about Denial of Service attacks.
It's likely that, if you are getting attacked, your Skype was resolved, my final tip is to use a proxy/VPN on Skype, and to create a new one for you to use.
