Mobile Ad Hoc Network, Black Hole, Gray HoleAbstract
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are a set of mobile nodes which are self-configuring and connected by wireless links automatically as per the defined routing protocol. Security is an essential requirement in MANETs. Compared to wired networks, MANETs are more vulnerable to security attacks due to the lack of a trusted centralized authority and limited resources. Attacks on ad-hoc networks can be classified as passive and active attacks, depending on whether the normal operation of the network is disrupted or not. These mobile nodes communicate with each other without any infrastructure, furthermore, all of the transmission links are established through wireless medium. There is no guarantee that a communication path is free from malicious or compromised nodes which deliberately wish to disrupt the network communication. So protecting the mobile ad-hoc network from malicious attacks is very important and challenging issue. In this paper we address the study of different types of attack, problem of packet forwarding misbehavior and propose a mechanism to detect the black and gray hole attacks.
