Wormhole Attack Detection Technique in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

NEHA KULKARNI , VINOD S. WADNE

ABSTRACT MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) refers to a multi-hop packet based wireless network composed of a set of mobile nodes that can communicate and move at the same time , without using any kind of fixed wired infrastructure . MANETâ€™S are actually self organizing and adaptive networks that can be formed and deformed on-the-fly without the need of any centralized administration. It generally works by broadcasting the information and used air as medium. Itâ€™s broadcasting nature and transmission medium also help attacker to disrupt network. Many type of attack can be done on such Mobile Ad Hoc Network. Our approach for wormhole detection enables the receiver to detect wormhole nodes using unobservable routing .We proposed an efficient method to identify the wormhole nodes exists in the routing path and rediscover new routes from the source node to target node . By applying an improved hop count based detection checking its one hop neighbors from its neighbor table. Once the wormhole nodes are detected then remove the wormhole entries from its neighbor table. Keywords: â€“ Wormhole; Malicious : DOS
