Would it note be relatively trivial for the manufacturer to just filter incoming requests by whitelist of registered ids of their appliances?

- larkeith 7y agoNot really - either you send the ids unencrypted and they're trivial to falsify, or you send them securely, in which case it takes a lot more power to decrypt each request for filtering than it does for the attacker to send each new request. DDoS protection is surprisingly challenging - usually it's relegated to a CDN provider, but that would be more difficult when the actual consumers are the same people most likely to be hosting botnets.
