Reactive Jamming of the Helium Network

In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of jamming the Helium network devices in the presence of multiple hotspots. We introduce the Wolfpack algorithm, which identifies the minimum number of jammers that are needed, and their appropriate locations relative to the devices to be jammed. Theoretical analysis and experimental results highlight the risks, the resilience of hotspot redundancy to jamming attacks, and the edge that jammers can have with more powerful hardware.
