Bored by means something is boring into the subject. For example, "the wooden plank was bored by a drill before screwing it down."

Bored of means and bored with are very similar. Being bored of something is like being tired of something. You don't want to have it anymore. You can be bored of writing after writing for too long. Being bored with something means that the object is boring to you. You can be bored with a song after hearing it too many times.

@KaijuEkmek: Thank you for your answer.
I'd like to ask you one more question.
Which preposition can I use when I rewrite "He bores me."?
Can I use "by" for a "person"?

@hiyamad in this case, you can say "he bores me" or "I am bored of him."

You could also say "I'm easily bored by (insert subject). For example, math. I'm easily bored by math. Or him. I'm easily bored by him.

there's a way to see why with and by are correct, bored is a passive adjective, and passive adjective usually goes with 'by' and 'with'. Bored of is also correct because it's synonymous with tired of and sick of, which tells someone your mental state: I'm bored!.
