My router has DDoS prevention. I used it to stop a chinese guy from DDoSing a server I hosted once. I banned him from the server for being a trashy human being and he got upset and started attacking. I really do hope I'm wrong about this. I just find it hard to trust SE these days. Why can't billionaire corporations combat a few people pushing in lots of network traffic in?
Its not as easy as you make it sound to stop a DDOS. A certain group who's name I wont say comprised of 4 or 5 guys used a bot network to crash xbox, playstation and a variety of other game servers. When they did it, it was not just their home computers sending out packets they had thousands of machines sending packets out in high volume.
