This paper presents an implementation of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) aiming to secure the AODV protocol designed for MANET. The IDS is designed as multiple static agents that run on a subset of the nodes in the network and executes a monitoring protocol that observes the process of route establishment. The monitoring protocol uses specification based intrusion detection to identify misuses to the routing messages. The IDS design is a correlation of previous work done in the field of MANET security. The IDS is implemented using ns-2 simulator and its ability to detect attacks was tested using previously devised attack scripts. Detailed specification for the runtime behavior of the AODV protocol was derived in the process of implementation.
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.
