Abstract
The wormhole attack is a kind of attack that is focusing on routing protocols and having big destructiveness. We propose a path-tracking method based on detecting nodes. It deploys a number of detecting nodes on the edge of the network to find all disjoint paths between them, then to identify a suspicious path that has the smallest hops according to the characteristic of wormhole attack. The detecting node sends a tracing packet to intermediate nodes through the suspicious path, to find and isolate infected nodes. Simulation results show that this detection algorithm resists the wormhole attack effectively and ensures the network security.
