The booter shell attack works by sending lots of traffic to your PC, via your IP address. If you have a broadband Internet connection, your ISP will assign it an IP address from a pool of addresses once you connect. Since broadband routers remain switched on, you may keep this IP for months or even years. It’s this fact that the hackers are exploiting.

If you come under a booter net attack and cannot access the Internet, the quick and easy trick is to simply change your IP address, so that the attack data disappears down a black hole, but crucially doesn't end up at your PC.

To do this, all you need to do is turn off your broadband router for a couple of minutes, then turn it back on again. When it reconnects to the Internet, your ISP will assign it a different IP from its pool of addresses, and you'll have dodged the attack.

You can open your router's configuration interface (usually by typing 192.168.0.1 into your browser's address bar) to check on the IP address you are assigned. For full details of how to access the configuration interface, check your router's manual.
