“…The main focus of this study is to examine how such attacks can be prevented for WSNs by creating a sound understanding of various kinds of attacks in WSNs. In [4] the authors have conducted a review on DDoS attack to present its impact on networks and to present various defensive, detection and preventive measures which can be adopted in order to mitigate attacks on WSNs. Various parameters related to methods used for selection of clusters [5] need of re-clustering [6] and study of the QoS parameters such as performance [7] of nodes in WSN.…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications range across distinct application comprising of event detection at real-time. WSNs can be deployed for not only mobile nodes but also for static sensor nodes (SNs) for various applications which may include health care system, smart parking, environmental monitoring etc. Sensor nodes in WSN are constrained in terms of energy contents of each node and can be accessible by other nodes in a wireless medium are more likely to be susceptible to various categories of attacks. Wireless Network are more likely prone to various kinds of security attacks, one such type of attack caused by a malicious attacker, which can result to decay in the lifetime of the network and an adverse scenario can even lead to congestion in the entire network. This paper presents the overview of various attacks and their consequences on different layers and evaluates defense strategy used to mitigate the various categories of attacks on Wireless Sensor Networks. This study proposes a cluster-based approach for each node of a WSN where the nodes of network constrained by energy can organize and perform network duties as per the network performance for this one node performs the role of cluster head (CH) which is elected on the basis of the "Reputation" of a node which is an indicator of nodes individual behavior in the network and "Net_Credit_Score" which determines the cooperating behavior of sensor node in the cluster. Further, this study highlights few parameters which can be implemented to further enhance the defense strategy by taking into account the factors such as Cluster count, Stability factor of both the Cluster and Cluster Head and Intra-Cluster topology which can be crucial. This will result in formulating a road map for designing a secure and resistant reputation-based system for WSN to overcome the various security related attacks.

Wireless Sensor Networks carry out has great significance in many applications, such as battlefields surveillance, patient health monitoring, traffic control, home automation, environmental observation and building intrusion surveillance. However, wireless technology also creates new threats. Since WSNs communicate by using radio frequencies therefore the risk of interference is more than with wired networks. If the message to be passed is not in an encrypted form, or is encrypted by using a weak algorithm, the attacker can read it, and it is the compromise to the confidentiality. In this paper we describe the security goals and DDoS attack in WSNs. Most of the schemes are available for the detection of DDoS attacks in WSNs. But these schemes prevent the attack after the attack has been completely launched which leads to data loss and consumes resources of sensor nodes which are very limited. In this paper a new scheme early detection of DDoS attack in WSN has been introduced for the detection of DDoS attack. It will detect the attack on early stages so that data loss can be prevented and more energy can be reserved after the prevention of attacks. Performance of this scheme has been seen on the basis of throughput, packet delivery ratio, no. of packets flooded and remaining energy of the network. General TermsNetwork security, Attacks on WSN, Security mechanisms. KeywordsNetwork security, Attacks on WSN, Security mechanisms, prevention of attacks from security threats.

“…The attacker flooded the incoming messages to the targeted node resulting in congestion into the network. Many researchers have been done on DDoS attack for the detection and prevention from of it [3]. The service request attacks are repeated on targeted node as to drain the energy consumption.…”

The security problems in Distributed System leads the researchers to find out that attacks are the major issue which outcomes the result in security problems of distributed system. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a attack which leads to disrupt the network by draining its resources. Network traffic is created by attackers by sending the invaluable messages to user. For every node battery capacity is important and battery draining in nodes leads to degrade the life of the node, this is a severe problem. In this paper we are discussing about the DDoS attack, which creates problem for WSN which is used in military solution, and MANET which is used in communication and is simple to use. DDoS is the major challenge for WSN and MANET, it identifies the nodes and attack on it. DDoS attacks are an attempt to make resources unavailable.
