ip address

[heat123]

I was in a private chat and then suddenly they said they got my ip address using cain and abel and then I immediately left. I then changed my windows live id password thinking they might be trying to hack my account. Is this anything to worry about? If so what can I do or prevent this from happening in the future?

Thanks,

it was not in a party it was in private chat. is there a way i can change my ip address so he can't do anything of that? a legal way.

Cmac is really misinformed... Ip's nowa-days are ****, most are dynamic any way. Plus your firewall/nat/operating system will block 99% of the attacks that come from a little kid like that. No need to change your ip it does when you log off the internet and back on. Stop being a bitch you're going to be ok he was just trying to boost his E-Ego.

Lol I used to read madden kids their ips and they'd get scared. Really nothing he can do with it. He could hit you offline but thats probably all he knows how to do.

Doubt he can do that.. Most people are broadband now-a-days. So he would have to have atleast 2-3botnets to do any real damage to him...

he we go,

im not misinfored at all, i know exactly what im talking about.

like i said, most likely the kid doesnt know what he's doing with the ip address so he doesnt have to worry about anything, i know about botnets, dynamic, and static ips all that ****. trust me i know plenty about internet connections/ computers in gerneral i took 4 years of cisco and im certified i KNOW what im talking about. yea most ips are dynamic but regardless of that with most service providers like verizon roadrunner comcast and all them you keep the same ip address for like a month, even if you turn your router on and off you still have that same ip address for like a while,

Big mis-communication. I didn't say you were trying to booster your ego i meant the Halo 3 kid in the chat. And don't call me son, I'm more than knowledgable about the internet basically grew up on here ventured into many aspects of it. I know my internet.
/Release
Turn Off Modem/Router for ten seconds
/Renew

Will generate a new ip 95% of the time the %5 of the time it doesn't is because of an server error. But just to be safe heart you should use OpenDNS if you're really scared. Or you can use DynamicDNS they would help you alot in this situation if you're scared.

worst post of the year?

i love those sigs

[heat123]

What is the purpose of OpenDNS and DynamicDNS? What do they do to protect you and your network?

Thanks,

One it speeds your internet up using anycast servers, second they prevent against common phishing sites which most script kiddies will try and access. I use ( OpenDNS, FlashBlock, AdblockPlus, NoScript, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Eset Nod32 AntiVirus, and ZoneAlarm firewall ) those are my protections against attacks...

Few Hundred reliable bots? I'd say it takes atleast two weeks. Most people need to be a complete idiot to be a bot.
