Rushing attack against routing protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Because of the nature of wireless channels, Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are vulnerable against many threats and attacks. Beside of this, the mobility of the network nodes made the security of routing protocols one of the most interesting research areas over Ad-Hoc networks. Moreover, Rushing attack became one of the common attacks against routing protocols in MANETs. Although there are many researches over Rushing attacks, the security research community suffers from a famine of evidence to present the exact position of this kind of attacks in MANETs clearly. Therefore, we paid particular attention to this issue to clarify the position of Rushing attacks against routing protocols and the functionality of this category of attacks. We hope that our document be useful for other researchers in understanding mentioned issue in face with this class of attacks.

Intelligent route discovery towards rushing attacks in ad hoc wireless networks

“…The combination of the "Use Best Approximation" and "Swift Implicit Response Round Trip Time" mechanism produces the Modified AODV and Hybrid Random Late Detection (HRLD) for route finding, time confine against the attacks like (Rushing attacks, Sybil attacks). In this research, the rushing attacks are taken because they allow denial-of-service, especially since these attacks make duplicate copies of the original mechanism and spread attack activities to the nearby nodes route by accessing route and also gain access to original sending data from source to destination [35] [36]. The three factors are followed in the ADABCP method.…”

“…The ADABCP has two stages of route organization and route reorganization [36] [44] [45]. A partial solution with individual exploration and collective experience is generated in the pattern reorganization used in the pattern reorganization [44] [46].…”

“…This method checks whether the communicating node is active or inactive. If it is inactive, then such nodes cause the rushing attacks; hence attackers occur in the routing path [36] [52].…”

“…This scheme ensures data transmission on a secure path against the rushing flagging protocol. These HRLD models are developed for effective data transmission without any attacks [25] [26] [36].…”
