Abstract
Systems and methods are described for protecting a device from a denial of service (DOS) attack. The method comprises receiving, by the device, a connection request from a third-party device, determining, by the device, that the third-party device is malicious. Switching a mode of operation of the device from a first mode to a second mode, in response to determining that the third-party device is malicious, and broadcasting in the second mode, a message configured to be decoded only by a credentialed device.
