A ddos attack is usually hitting a certain "host" which in this case it seems like it would be YOU. Now if this was YOU, they can only get your ISP - ex (Ip address - 72.115.203) They can get this various ways;

1. From a website that you visit (usually a non-secure webpage- with php scripts- pretty much a person knowing who is visiting the site.

2. Using a game/server to contact others - (example Ventrillo, Teamspeak, Skype, Even msn)

3. Or getting you to download a file; which can be a rat, which to be completely honest, even NORTON- and other firewalls wont tell you when you actually download one of these, its almost like a virus, so its completely un-detectable, if the person actually knows what they are doing.

Now after you have avoiding that - here is a way if you still want to visit those website; or contact them via those ways

There are things called proxy's - which give off a "fake" unusable IP address and when somebody tries to send packets - its sending it to a blank host, so I would use the proxy whenever visitng,playing, or contacting these people/server.

Another thing you can request is for your IP to change, from your ISP - internet Service Provider (ex. TimeWarner Cable) usually has a fee - but it's worth it if your contstanly under attack

Legal Matters- What I would do is just DDoS them back...but that is Illegal; So the best route would be to contact your ISP and have them put a track on it
