The mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are an emerging research area with applications. It has features like working as a router, dynamic topology and autonomous. In MANET, nodes have limited resources like battery power, storage space and bandwidth. There is a need to do more research for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in MANET as compared to wire line DoS attacks. MANET is vulnerable to different types of DoS attack in which packets are drop. Black hole attack, packet drop attack and gray hole attack are an event that eliminates a network's capacity to perform its expected function. These attacks are type of DoS attack which we examine in this paper. This paper shows the effects of black hole attack, packet drop attack and gray hole attack on AODV protocol under different performance metrics throughput, packet drop rate and end-to-end delay. The simulation is done in Network Simulator (NS) 2.
The mobile ad-hoc networks are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. MANET has features like self organizing, working as router as well as host having dynamic topology. In MANET, nodes have limited resources like bandwidth, battery power and storage capacity. Gray hole attack is a kind of denial of service (DoS) attack in mobile ad hoc networks. It is specialized type of black hole attack which changes its state from honest to malicious and vice versa. Gray hole attack is an event that degrades the overall network's performance by intentional malicious activity. In this paper, it is proposed the mechanism against gray hole attack and improves the network performance interms of throughput, packet drop rate, packet delivery ratio and normalized routing overhead.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
