An Attack Investigation, Characterization and Simulation of Various Attacks in MANET

Pratik Gite; Sanjay Thakur

Mobile Ad-hoc Network is one of the most popular network technology in the field of research and development community. Due to their dynamic and ad-hoc nature, the network suffers from the various performance and security issues. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol under normal condition and attacks conditions on the basis of different performance metrics. This paper is also concerned about the different kinds of attacks formation viz. Black Hole, Worm Hole, Gray Hole and Denial of Service attacks on MANET environment. In addition of that different kinds of approaches available for detection and prevention of such attacks are also investigated. Finally using different experimentation and simulations through NS-2, the effort is made to identify the effective network characteristics. After concluding the effects and simulation the need of a new Intrusion Detection System (IDS) model is presented for future implementation.
