Abstract:
Abstract— A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a new generation of wireless networks that is used in many applications. MANETs have much vulnerability such as mobility, unsecure boundaries, lack of central management, that have been exploited by attackers to launch different types of attacks. One well known attack is the Black Hole Attack, which absorbs packets before reaching its destination. As one of the vital MANET attacks, the black hole attack has been studied extensively, and many detection and prevention techniques have been proposed. In this paper, a new detection and prevention algorithm for single and cooperative black hole attacks in MANET that employ Adhoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) is proposed. The developed algorithm benefits from the two previously proposed detection techniques; the sequence number scheme, and cooperative black hole attack scheme in AODV MANETs. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm works and improves the security of AODV MANTETs against black hole attack.
