Abstract |
|
The ubiquity and ease of operation have made wireless networks extremely popular. The Downfall of such popularity is the increased attacks on Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET). The attack studied in this paper is wormhole attack. The choice of attack was based on the difficulty in identifying and mitigating the attack in real life scenarios. We used AODV protocol for the simulation; the most popular routing protocol used for small-scale networks. Wormhole attack is a potential threat to MANETs; it involves using a two-node system to route packets through a ‘tunnel’ created by the nodes. The attack enables the attacker to manipulate packet traffic, while making it difficult for an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect. |
