  • Reflexive benign service attack on IoT device(s)
    Patent number: 10771502
    Abstract: A method is provided for preventing an IoT device within a trusted system from being harnessed in a malicious DDOS attack. The method may include bombarding the IoT device. The bombardment may originate from within the system, and may inundate the IoT device with harmless packets in a manner mimicking a traditional DOS attack. The inundating may utilize the resources of the IoT device to respond to the bombardment, and may thereby render the IoT device unavailable for fraudulent uses.
    Type: Grant
