A Survey of Wormhole Attack and Countermeasures against that in Wireless Ad-hoc Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Wormhole attack is a Routing-Disruption Attack in ad hoc networks, those malicious nodes in these networks can bear wormhole attacks to make up a false scenario on neighbor discovery relations among mobile nodes. The attackers endanger the safety of ad hoc routing protocols with making a direct link, referred to as a wormhole tunnel, between malicious nodes. After building a wormhole tunnel, one attacker receives and copies packets from its neighbors, and forwards them to the other colluding attacker through the wormhole tunnel. However they need special hardware to support such communication. This article reviews wormhole attack on ad hoc networks and discusses approaches for preventing wormhole attack in these networks.

A Survey of Solutions to Protect Against All Types of Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
In recent years mobile networks have expanded dramatically, compared with other wireless networks. Routing protocols in these networks are designed with the assumption that there is no attacker node, so routing protocols are vulnerable to various attacks in these networks. In this paper, we review the network layer attacks and then we simulate the impact of black hole attack on ad hoc on demand...
متن کاملA two-phase wormhole attack detection scheme in MANETs
Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have no fixed infrastructure, so all network operations such as routing and packet forwarding are done by the nodes themselves. However, almost all common existing routing protocols basically focus on performance measures regardless of security issues. Since these protocols consider all nodes to be trustworthy, they are prone to serious security threats. Wormhole...
متن کاملA New Intrusion Detection System to deal with Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
By extending wireless networks and because of their different nature, some attacks appear in these networks which did not exist in wired networks. Security is a serious challenge for actual implementation in wireless networks. Due to lack of the fixed infrastructure and also because of security holes in routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, these networks are not protected against attack...
متن کاملSecuring AODV routing protocol against the black hole attack using Firefly algorithm
Mobile ad hoc networks are networks composed of wireless devices to create a network with the ability for self-organization. These networks are designed as a new generation of computer networks to satisfy some specific requirements and with features different from wired networks. These networks have no fixed communication infrastructure and for communication with other nodes the intermediate no...
متن کاملA Novel Technique for the Prevention of Wormhole Attack
A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less self-configured collection of mobile nodes that can arbitrarily change their geographic locations such that these networks have dynamic topologies and random mobility with constrained resources. Security has become a primary concern in order to provide protected communication between mobile nodes in an aggressive environment. The absence...
