DDoS attacks don't take mass amounts of hacking, skill, or any real ability whatsoever. Whoever's doing this is a script kiddie with a bot network.
Let me explain. There are programs floating around that have large networks connected to them, that allow your computer to be used for, and to orchestrate DDoS attacks. They're called bot networks. You get one of these programs, it's as simple as typing in the IP and pressing a button.
You can also just type a few commands into your cmd on windows and make it DoS and IP. (Just wouldn't be a DDoS)
Now... I don't really give two shits about who's doing this. This shit has been happening to any successful emu servers I've ever played on. This fucking entire community needs to pull together and quit thinking of it as a pissing contest. Our dicks are no bigger than theirs, and theirs no bigger than ours.
Instead of trying to figure out who it is, we need to figure out how to stop it, though DDoS is really the unblockable bane of servers. The only real way to stop it is to deny all access to any ports to anyone who doesn't provide a password to access the server. This would prevent bot spam from most networks.

They dont need a password, what DDoS does is fload the ports so 1000 attempted connections at the same time can cause a server crash or extreme lag. They can attempt to connect to the ip of the server many ways just it isnt effective unless many many attempts are done at the same time like said, 1000 or more it may take, not sure.
Just think of someone dodging balls, the ones with passwords and the right ones he dodges and the ones without passwords or wrong passwords he catches, if too many of one come at once, whats going to happen? They fall down (crash) even a computer can only dodge so many balls.
