Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) do not depend on any fixed infrastructure, but communicate in a self-unified way. In order to provide secure communication, researchers are working specifically on the security issues in MANETs, and many secure routing protocols/measures within the networks have been proposed. Our proposed work presents a more efficient approach for detecting the cooperative black hole attack in a MANET, which is particularly vulnerable compared to traditional wired networks due to its mobility and broadcast nature. An opponent can easily deploy black hole attack in the MANETs, therefore, to detect cooperative black hole attack, our mechanism modifies the Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol by introducing two special packets, (i) query packet and (ii) further route request (FRREQ) packet. Our simulation results show that attack is detected successfully and it outperforms existing attack detection methods.
