Abstract

The Thread mesh networking protocol, designed for
IoT communication, ensures network layer interoperability but
remains vulnerable to security threats. A major risk is denial-ofservice (DoS) attacks, which can overwhelm networks, causing congestion and device failures. While Thread’s self-healing mesh mitigates some risks, devices must be robust against resource exhaustion attacks. This paper examines DoS attacks via radio
jamming, implementing a jamming system on a bespoke Thread
Testbed. A countermeasure using standard channel hopping is
proposed and tested, demonstrating its effectiveness.
