Abstract

In wireless sensor network (WSN), energy plays an important role for intermediate sensor nodes. Due to ad hoc organization of nodes in a network, security in WSN is very difficult task. There is one new type of attack called vampire attack which disables network by crushing battery life of sensor nodes in a network. It is difficult to find vampire attacks and prevent network from them. A definite requirement of energy is needed in transferring of packets from source to destination in WSN. The purpose of vampire packets is to weaken the energy of nodes slowly which leads to network failure. The life span of the nodes is increased only by detection and avoidance of vampire packets. The focus of this paper is on vampire attacks and its defenses at the routing protocol layer. The paper also gives future direction to work in the field of attack prevention.
