How do you stop a botnet DDOS?

Game server is a bit more difficult than something like a web site because it's difficult to proxy the traffic. What type of traffic are you being flooded by?
 
You need to re-route the sensor array before the crystal causes the auxiliary ripples to boost. Vaporising the special matter stream causes fluctuations at the temporal hyperspace-flux window though, so you'll probably need to reboot the temporal plasma conduit feed next to the delta connector.

best god damn answer ever!!
 
What game?

I imagine the type of server software changes what is being exposed to be DDoSed in the first place.

Hard to defend against a service attack unless you know what service is being targeted.
 
If it's a game that you know uses only TCP then you can feasibly ask your server provider to block inbound UDP to your server at the router.

Not sure. Not my server.

Do you know the attacker? Known for taking down certain game servers that you host?

The attacker is known. The owner of the server can't do much but keep the server hidden/non-public for now, it's working but it was obviously intended to be public. I don't know many details about it further than that and I don't want to say much more about it really. I figure it's just a "wait for the authorities to do their thing again" scenario. Owner of the server does not know a great deal about all the tech stuff behind the attacks.
 
No - theres not a lot you can do even with enterprise level kit - effectively every bit of kit has a limitation in the amount of memory/bandwidth/processing power it has - a DDOS just floods you until your resources run out

Do you know what attack they ate using - you can mitigate against some forms of attack but you need to know how they are doing it to begin with
 
If your renting a game server or dedicated server theres probably not a lot you can do - large websites have the clout to use various upstream traffic filtering options that will attempt to halt the flood before it gets closer to the server i.e. blackholing entire countries on peering connections if they are unlikely to have a valid reason to access the service but those tools aren't really available to non-enterprise level users.

Only options really are to look at temporary redirects.
