“…In preventing impersonation attacks in MANETs with multi-factor authentication, Glynos et al [26] proposed a framework via a cryptographic association to secure the physical device with the logical address. The framework achieved this target by using the certification of keys and nodes with the use of additional hardware and firmware installed on each node of the ad hoc network.…”

Due to the lack of centralized identity management and the broadcast nature of wireless ad hoc networks, identity attacks are always tempting. The attackers can create multiple illegitimate (arbitrary or spoofed) identities on their physical devices for various malicious reasons, such as to launch Denial of Service attacks and to evade detection and accountability. In one scenario, the attacker creates more than one identity on a single physical device, which is called a Sybil attack. In the other one, the attacker creates cloned/replicated nodes. We refer collectively to these attacks as identity attacks. Using these malicious techniques, the attacker would perform activities in the network for which the attacker may not be authorized. In the existing literature, these attacks are often counteracted separately. However, in this paper, we propose a solution to counteract both attacks jointly. Our proposed scheme uses the received signal strength for the detection without using extra hardware (such as GPS, antennae or air monitors) and centralized entities (such as trusted third party or certification authority). Upon the detection of malicious identities, they will be quarantined and will be blacklisted for future data communication by the mobile nodes. Our proposed attack detector detects the presence of Sybil attacks and replication attacks locally by analysing the received signal strength captured by each node. Moreover, we propose a technique that will identify these attacks in the overall network. In both local and global cases, we evaluate our solutions theoretically and via simulation in NS-2. The obtained results demonstrate that it is possible to detect identity attacks with considerable accuracy without causing extra overhead in the form of extra hardware, periodic beacons or expensive localization operations in the wireless ad hoc networks.

During vital applications, the proposed framework provides the supplementary confidence level essential for node verification even though additional sensing capabilities from theMANET nodes are essential [21].…”

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a constantly self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices where each device is wireless, moves without restraint and be a router to put across traffic unassociated to its own use. Every device must be prepared to constantly sustain the information obligatory for routing the traffic. And this is the main challenge in building a MANET. Such networks may be self operating or linked to a larger internet and may have one or multiple different transceivers between nodes resulting in a highly dynamic and autonomous topology. The first focus is on MANET attacks followed by detection of the malicious node from MANET via Polynomial-Reduction Algorithm. Although scientists have assessed many algorithms for the detection and rectification of the malicious nodes in the MANETs, the problem still persists. Due to the unprecedented growth in technology, the unidentified vulnerabilities are also intensifying. Therefore, it is very crucial to come up with some ground-breaking ideas to prevent the MANET. In this paper we are used NS2 simulator to implementing malicious nodes in MANET.

A Mobile Adhoc Network (Manet) is a highly challenging environment due to its dynamic topology, limited processing capability, limited storage, band width constraints, high bit error rate and lack of central control. In this dynamic network, each node is considered as a mobile router. A malicious node can easily disrupt the proper functioning of the routing by refusing to forward routing message (misbehavior node), inject the wrong routing packets, modifying routing information, etc. Hence the design of secured routing algorithm is a major issue in Manets. Mobile Agent based algorithms also called Ant Routing algorithms are a class of swarm intelligence and try to map the solution capability of ant colonies for routing in Manets. In this paper we discuss prominent attacks and propose counter-measures in three Network Protocols and Algorithms ISSN 1943-3581 2011 www.macrothink.org/npa 109 Ant based routing protocols that are proactive, reactive and hybrid routing.
