If your running a game server and the website for this service is the target
of the attack, a reverse proxy service such as cloudflare may help.
But if your ip is allready known to the attacker, well, all you can do is
wait until they stop attacking, or try to get a new ip.

Also if you can identify the attacker, going to http://ic3.gov and filing a
report may help bring justice to your attacker.

Sucks when it happens.
