If being attacked with a DDoS why not set the source of the attacks as the address to resolve your IP address to?

- kyrra 13y agoIt depends on the type of DOS attack being used by the attackers. If they are using a SYN attack you can change the source ip as you don't care to hear back. But a SYN attack can be mitigated a bit easier once you know about it. If you are doing a more application specific attack, you need to establish a connection (assuming it is TCP), so you can't hide you IP in that case.
- D9u 13y agoIt's not "hiding" your IP address, it's changing your affected nameservers to that of the attacker.
