Pledge for new beginning

I think that what is being said is that it is very difficult to 1) find out who did this, and 2) prove it.

Also you have the problem of it possibly involving different law enforcement jurisdictions in the US, and probably other countries as well.

If something like this involved a lot of man hours to contact various isp's and whatnot, and required filing documents with a court (which it would), we are talking probably tens of thousands of dollars just to start (expenditures by a federal office, my guess). Basically I don't think they would touch somthing like this.

I had my identity stolen and some charges incurred in my name. Absolutely no one was interested in the case (county, fbi, state law enforcement). The big thing was the charges were run up in another city in another state. It's not real clear who has the jurisdiction and who wants to spend the money to investigate something like this.

Basically I don't think you can expect anything from law enforcement.

You cant. This is at the federal level and feds.. arean't going to get into it. Not to mention to find the root of a DDoS... is practically impossible. However here are some things Ive found out from reading.

"These type of DOS attacks won't be resolved until IPV6 is implemented. In the mean time every network in the world to needs to block traffic from leaving their network with a source IP address that is not on their network. This can prevent their network from being used as the base of attack. If all networks did this, then a DOS attack could never be initiated.

In the mean time, it is recommended that you use something like an Attack Mitigator from Top Layer. It will help you to weather an attack much better than syn cookies. And before anyone says it, dropping packets that include source routing information also doesn't help."
