Do this, configure and use blackhole routing with your upstream, this is how you stop an attack
How to detect it, use netflow.

I'm a little confused.
Are you saying you dampened the prefixes of some other network? If so, it sounds like this is 100% in your control.
If the BGP sessions between you and your upstreams / peers never
flapped, no one should have dampened you. (I can see it possibly happening if someone else in the path between you and $OtherNetwork is attacked and therefore flaps your routes, but that would affect a lot of networks, not just you.)
