"Dog-Like Robot Jams Home Networks and Disables Devices During Police Raids — DHS Develops NEO Robot for Walking Denial of Service Attacks"

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has developed a four-legged robot called "NEO" to jam the wireless transmissions of smart home devices. NEO has an onboard computer and antenna array that enable law enforcement officers to launch a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, disabling potentially harmful Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Although NEO might not be able to impact hard-wired smart devices, it can still disable the radio frequencies most wireless IoT devices use to reduce risks for officers. This article continues to discuss the NEO robot that can create DoS events.
