Unless the DDOSer was really stupid, it would not be his actual IP address.
Funny you mention that, you know what DDOS is correct?
DDOS requires a stable connection from which to launch the attack and keep it continuous. You know what that files out? Exactly VPN's, Tunnels, Proxies, and and Socks.
Even if he were to be using a booter, you can just about trace the purchase, accounts, SQL databases associated with the account, and etc. Considering the fact that most use the account system running off different ports makes it even easier to trace. Booters are a waste of money and majority of the people that do DDOS the server are younger members mad about being banned. Fortunately Vaqxination is neither a younger member and isn't stupid enough to waste the money.
Highly unlikely he was DDOSing the server considering he was too consumed running his own server. Have you ever run a server Kertopz? Do you realize the constant maintenance and watch that is required to run one?
Being a server owner myself, I can reflect and say that rarely do I have free time to carry out other activities as Im too busy with the task at hand on the server.
So it may be Tank, my mistakes on that piece, it has been some time since Ive done some reading on Booters. With this in mind though evidence is lacking that DDOS has become more often after he was banned. Ive been on recently on and off and it tends to be as it was on the server before this, and the one before that.
