Effects of malicious attacks in mobile ad-hoc networks

Abstract

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.

Comparing the Performance of the Ad Hoc Network under Attacks on Different Routing Protocol

“…This area is in the rectangular. [11] A waypoint model is described with three parameters: minimum velocity, maximum velocity and maximum pause time. The speed of mobile nodes is uniformly distributed between the minimum speeds to the maximum speed.…”

A Comprehensive Survey on Detecting Black Hole Attack in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (Manet)

“…One of the denial of service (DOS) attacks in MANET is known as black hole attack [10]. The attack can be launched from the internal or external malicious nodes.…”

A secure cross-layer AODV routing method to detect and isolate (SCLARDI) black hole attacks for MANET

“…Various authors have proposed security solutions to protect MANETs from attacks [11,12]. Honeypots are a special type of mechanism for intrusion detection, designed to trap attackers and gather information about them.…”
