By denying access to their servers?  By not granting whatever is
needed to initiate network sessions?

And note, "it's been tampered with" is not necessarily enough of a
reason to cut someone off, it has to meet these requirements:


how can the server tell if it's been tampered with?
I agree with this statement. Imagine a proprietary private network where a device has been modified to run in an invisible promiscuous mode. The device looks as if it isn't doing anything wrong, but is forwarding the network out another interface. The only way to prevent that type of attack is to not allow unauthorized signed Kernels onto that network.
