Well this is just my 2 cents, but it mostly works unless your skid's logic is to defy his already broken logic and do the opposite of what he is thinking (Skidfying is what I call it lol).
This "Hacker" says he will take my server offline! What do I do?
You can do one of many things. Please visit the spoiler for more info.
Threaten with Legal Action.
Wait it out and if he does knock your server offline - report his IP to his ISP and ask your host for some protection in the mean time.
Ignore him and tell your players not to interact as his attention source will die down.
Continue to ban all his accounts and IP's until he runs out which he will most likely DDoS your server for a little bit then quit (Odd's are he can only do 5 minutes per boot time)
DO NOT LISTEN TO HIS REQUEST THOUGH. If you do that, then your new label will be The Hacker's and he will continue to try to suck you dry of items and mess with you.
The "Hacker" took down my server!
Well, we now know your skid has enough money to buy a $10 booter. Refer to the spoiler above for what to do.
The "Hacker" got my IP from skype and is knocking me offline!
Log out of skype, and do not log back in.
Call your ISP and demand they change your IP.
When they change your IP, DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR NEW SKYPE! He will find it, resolve it, then boot it.
The "Hacker" said he will DOX me and then SWAT ME! What does this mean?
DOX'ing is a form of getting someone's personal info (Phone, Address, full name, etc).
SWAT'ing is prank calling the police saying someone is at your house with an AK-47 and has taken your family hostage. (For example)
There is not much you can do here. If he/she says that, then he/she is officially proving themselves immature and can not handle a block game. You could call your local police department and warn them you might have someone prank call 911 on you and that you guys should call me before you show up in full battle armor ready to fire some lazers. (Only if the hacker proves he has your full name, age, and address)
The "Hacker" said he will hack my computer with my IP! Can he!?
In 99.99999% of the time, he/she can not. Those exploits go for hundreds of thousands of dollars and would not be used over a game of minecraft. Remember - He/she can still DDoS your IP so don't feel so dandy as to give it out in provokation.
The "Hacker" sent me a file called "FileName.exe" "FileName.Bat" "FileName.com" "FileName.Jar"
Do not accept the download, open share the file. It is most likely a virus. Even a .jar can be a virus (Malware is coded in Java as well)
ALSO, Just because you are on a mac doesn't mean you can not be infected!
That's just basically facts you need to know to stay up-to-date with the immature community growing in honey-pot hacking forums.

Have anything to add? Post it and I will add it if it fits in.
Thanks for this dude, helped me a lot as a tool came on my server recently and did that stuff xD
Yeah I used to go across different minecraft server's showing "hackers" up. Closest one got to me was a leaked database with my alias identity. It took him a minute to realize 1337 Mudkip Lane wasn't my street.
Great guide. I have seen this occur multiple times on new servers, and I actually know a person IRL who does these crimes... It is pretty scary what they are doing, but the best thing to do is to just ban/call authority. Unless they have some hard masked VPN or something, they can do something. Thanks for helping us all!
What do you mean you know someone IRL who does that stuff? Usually if they reveal themselves they are attention whores who think using Cain and Abel on xbox makes them cool
I love these people. One came onto my sever today warning me about a SQL injection bug that allowed any hacker to become op. I just rofled and banned him. These people can get really stupid. I got my server DOS'ed two times. Since then I just contact their ISP and report it. I don't get these people. I also have no facebook so its quite hard to dox me. All of my personal info is false usually... I bet if I said linux they would say "whatz dis linuxzzes, soonds stuoopid"... Their at most an annoyence and at best entertainment. They also say they could hack my computer lots. :/ I dont even know how to respond, I kinda feel bad for their sorry existance.
Oh, and thanks for posting this! It lightens my heart to see someone edjucate people about minecraft script kiddes.
Suggestion! Most of these people don't DDoS servers, just DOS them. Otherwise it would be almost impossible to trace.
Another Suggestion! Get a no-ip, or like adress so you can shut it down with out contacting the ISP. You can most of the time get an IP change just by rebooting to. The script kiddie most likely wont have the brains to get the numeric IP.

Someone hit me offline, I resolved his skype and convinced his ISP to give me his info then I called his mom and said his son was doing hackerish things online. I didn't hear a peep from him since then.
And what I am going to do is set up a Proxy server on my dedi's when I order them and chain it with skype. Either that or chain Tor with skype.
Nice! I wonder what his mom said. Proxying would be neat on skype, Tors pretty slow though. I bet he was useing something like LOIC... I would add that you should log IPs in corispondence to player names, as in create a sepreate list. Ahh, change virus to malware or such. There hasnt been a real virus for a while... Cause viruses have to have a search, replicate, and continue spreading. Actually more of a horse. I would add that your server probably wont be affected, but your internet connection will, so reboot your modem after someone DOS's it. And get a service like no-ip to shut down and change IPs. Maybe even add that you should make a warning plugin so when someone says hack or DOS admins get a notice to inspect the line. (Scripting time!). I think Ill come up with more suggestions later. Sorry for the maybe weird suggestions. Im writeing a script that when a player logs on it reports the IP to the admins, logs the IP and player name in a file, and logs key words in another file. When I finish it would you like it?

Ehh my server will be so big I won't have time to deal with wanna-be's. I will ensure my moderator's ensure the correct decision though.
And you must not look around enough, virus'es are at an all time high. With 20% of youtube being Dark Comet and every other .exe sent over skype is blackshades you can't help but wonder what will happen when better malware comes out :c
Sounds awful. I use a great method of not getting viruses/crapware: Dont download radom files, use linux. It works quite well. I was thinking that seperate log script would be good for just logging script kiddes so its easyer to find their IP and such rather than sorting through the server.log.

When I build my new rig I will use a mix of Windows 7: Ultimate x64-bit and Debian 6 or 7 x64-bit. On Windows, comodo firewall and some other AV I can't think of will do the trick.
It's simple, don't deal with tempbans/jails/kicks or anything for new players. If a player joins and within a day gets themselves in reasonable trouble, insta-perma-banana-ban them. Only use tempbans/jails and stuff like that for longtime members who have some commitment, they're likely to get mad when they get banned whereas new players haven't invested that much time into your server so they'll just flip to the next server and start annoying them there. Weed out the bad ones before they become a bad influence on your community and get attached to their work on your server.
What I normally do is tell them that I have their IP (that I can get from the server log) and can shut down their internet or something with it. They usually leave right away.

If I am trying to be 100% legal, I say I will report their IP and will have the feds take your computer away if you ever try anything malicious again.
And when I go on other servers and troll wanna-be hackers and they say they will sue me for using a modified version of Minecraft I find a way to make that player mad, like flying right in front of him and an admin but the admin doesn't do anything XD

I would prefer to mute them and if they continue they will be banned. I have noticed players try to act dominant and when put in their place they stay there. I believe in second chanced (Unless it's a scammer or major terrorist)
Saved this for future use to prevent 8 year-olds from trolling my other friend's servers .

This one kid tried to act like he was 17, but when I befriended him and got him to go on teamspeak he had the voice of an 8 year old and admitted to being 9. He also said he will hack me with his CIA booter after I told everyone. I didn't know the CIA made booters, now I know where all our tax money is going! /sarcasm xD

I wish i could do that but in an ex-server (Mexican server) of mine, I got a skid trying to take my server offline but my server had more download capacity that his booter upload capacity. so he started to talk trash to me so i said the same you just said, you know what he said? and i'm quoting (with a little translation )
" dude, you cant have my IP, if you had my IP you'll know im Mexican, if the federals really showed up at my door I would just give him 50 Mexican Pesos and they'll leave me alone, you know Mexican "Mordida"
And i had no other option but to log into my booter and take him offline, I know it was wrong but what else was i supposed to do, here in Mexico you have no support from either the police or the ISP, I tried calling his ISP (TotalPlay) and they told me literally and i'm quoting "f*ck off, Telmex user" (My ISP) :/
