So I got a DDos by a guy named "blocker xoxoxo"
If I can get the logs ill probably have his IP on touch, is there any way to block his ddos using his IP? for example making it impossible for him to connect? timeout his ddos program? anything?

No, the packets will still arrive to your server and be dropped after they arrive. If he sends enough packets to overload your server, it will still crash.

If you have his IP, you can report these attacks to either your server provider or his Internet provider.

If you're hosting your server in a VPS that has Linux OS based, iptables is your main firewall.

iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS -j DROP
Whenever you add an IP, the specific IP won't be able to connect nor sending to you junk packets.

Unless if you host your server on Windows OS, you need to set up a rule in the Windows Firewall.
Maybe this guide tutorial link below can help you how to:

NOTE: This isn't really effective against dynamic IPs.

DDoS is from many IPs, sometimes over hundreds. You can not block each and every one. o.O
Well, you can but good luck dedicating precious days to that to still come to no avail.

When the origin of the attack is just one single IP then you're quite lucky because it's not a DDoS but a plain and simple DoS. Chances are very good that you can simply block it with your firewall because it's unlikely that one single PC/connection is enough to kill an average vServer with proper security measures.

Peforming (D)DoS attacks is illegal. In many countries you can go to jail for doing such things for several years.

I wait for the day someone gets a letter from an advocat because of that shit. not because of the money. you get nothing from a 14 years old idiot. just for the shock! i would give it to my advocat if i had a specific ip. realy looking forward to it....
but i guess most attacks doesnt come from my country (germany...) sad.

I just wanted to emphasize that it's illegal and that in theory there is a chance that you have to go to jail for doing it. I did not say that it actually happens frequently.
In practice most idiots can DDoS the shit out of everything without getting the punishment they deserve. Unfortunately. In my dream land people would even get killed for that kind of stuff.

nanana. then you mayby have some issues that should be checked by a psychologic or a doctor.

no 14 years old child should be killed for being stupid.

but a letter from an advocat for his parents should realy work

Yeah, sorry, that's not what I wanted to say. Of course non-adults shouldn't get killed for that because they don't even know/understand what they're doing and they probably also don't understand how much damage they actually cause with their pointless attacks.
