Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for thwarting illegitimate initialization attempts may include (1) receiving an initialization packet designed to initiate communication between a source port on a source computing device and a destination port on a destination computing device, (2) thwarting potential illegitimate initialization attempts by intentionally dropping the initialization packet, (3) receiving an additional initialization packet, (4) determining that the additional initialization packet is from the same source port on the same source computing device and is directed to the same destination port on the same destination computing device as the original initialization packet, and (5) sending an acknowledgement packet that initiates communication between the source computing device and the destination computing device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
