Hello,
I have noticed that over a one month period that i have been made victim to DOS attacks. I have attempted some measures in order to combat the problem however it doesn't seem to have worked, so i am left wondering a few things
Who is doing it (this question is kinda stupid because the logs are saying that it's coming from Brazil, Ukraine, Uk, usa and a variety of other locations i.e. someone is using proxies)
Why are they doing it (well this questions is kind of irrelevant as it's clear no one really needs a reason to do it, but i felt like asking it anyways)
Is this actually a personal attack (i.e. does the attacker or attackers know who they are attacking)?
and now the most important questions
What measures should i deploy?
What measures could the ISP deploy, if any at all?
Is it possible for Malware on my PC to enable this sort of attack or simply indicate to the attacker that i'm online and simply start an attack?
Do i need a new external facing IP address, if i recall the external IP address is dynamically allocated when accessing the internet through a DHCP server (does this mean when the router is restarted or in general, every time you turn on a PC and try to connect to the internet
Do i need my own proxy?
i know these questions can seem open ended and somewhat difficult to answer but it is quite annoying to find the reasons to sometimes losing connection with the outside world as a result of someones mischief
there is one last question i have
A friend of mine and myself as well downloaded Kali Linux, my friend claims to have received numerous viruses on his computer (while kali is installed on a virtual machine, but not being used) and i seem to coincidentally be hit by DOS attacks, is there any reason for this or is it mere coincidence or is there something i should know about Kali Linux?
Thanks in advance.
