Abstract-lack of infrastructure in ad hoc networks makes their deployment easier. Each node in an ad hoc network can route data using a routing protocol, which decreases the level of security. Ad hoc networks are exposed to several attacks such as the blackhole attack. In this article, a study has been made on the impact of the attack on the hybrid routing protocol ZRP (Zone Routing Protocol). In this attack a malicious node is placed between two or more nodes in order to drop data. The trick of the attack is simple, the malicious node declares to have the most reliable way to the destination so that the wife destination chooses this path.In this study, NS2 is used to assess the impact of the attack on ZRP. Two metrics measure, namely the packet delivered ratio and end to end delay.
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.
