That is simply not true. Any router will have functioning ACL's and Rate-limiting, so unless you have some sort of home server set up or have intentionally disabled all of the security features (which are on by default) then a DoS attack is actually quite difficult.
And that is assuming their ISP doesn't automatically K-line you.

This is a given. I was just asking how he had access to nuke his network in the first place, or at least for some sort of packet log showing the attack.
DoS attacks are serious crimes, and I feel that part at least needs some sort of specificity.
