“…A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a temporary, ever-changing, wireless network, formed by a group of self-organising mobile devices, without the need for any centralised network management or fixed networking infrastructure [1]. Nodes in a MANET need to be able to cooperate and communicate with each other to implement standard networking functionality, to compensate for the lack of a centralised network management authority [2].…”

“…In a MANET, nodes within transmission range communicate by forwarding messages directly to each other while nodes that are not within transmission range are dependent on intermediary nodes to facilitate communication using either Proactive, Reactive or Hybrid routing protocols. The purpose of a MANET routing protocol is to establish an optimal path (one with the least hops) from the sender node to the receiver node [2]. MANET routing protocols need to function in different networking contexts, ranging from small ad-hoc groups to larger, more complex mobile multi-hop networks.…”

“…The malicious intent of the Black Hole node is to hinder the route discovery process and to intercept all network communication, resulting in data packets being discarded before reaching their intended destinations [3]. This deliberate dropping of packets by a malicious node is known as a Black Hole attack [2].…”

Black Hole attacks manipulate MANET routing protocols by deceiving nodes sending data into believing that the malicious Black Hole node has the optimal route available for data transmission to the intended recipient node. The ability to implement the appropriate routing protocol is essential in minimising the impact Black Hole attacks have on MANETs. In this study, the AODV, DSR and OLSR protocols were simulated under no attack as well as under Black Hole attack scenarios to determine which of these protocols performs best. The results were analysed using the performance metrics of Throughput, End-to-End delay and PDR. The results of the simulations show that AODV is more vulnerable to Black Hole attacks than DSR or OLSR. Furthermore, the results show that the adverse effects of a Black Hole attack on Throughput, End-to-End delay and PDR were more significant in AODV as opposed to DSR, which had the best overall performance. Future work to analyse the effects that Black Hole attacks have on the performance of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks in terms of mean delay time, packet overhead and memory usage could also be conducted.

MANET is a wireless ad-hoc network which includes mobile nodes. In MANET mobile refers to the movable nodes which can change their location frequently. MANET is a network which has no central infrastructure; it is a self-managing and self-configuring network. In MANET devices can be heterogeneous like laptops, mobiles, PDAs, etc. Due to the mobility of the nodes and no infrastructure mobile ad hoc network can be used in disaster and emergency situations. Mobile ad-hoc network has the features of dynamic topology, multi-hop routing, energy constraint and easy setup. The nodes in the MANET work as a both host and a router, to make routes in the network. Due to all these flexible features of MANET there are many security vulnerabilities arise. In MANET routing is a main concern due to the mobility and the node work as a router. The security of the routing layer is essential because if any attack interrupts the communication security of whole network can be compromised. There are different types of attacks in MANET: internal attacks, external attacks, active attacks and passive attacks. The attacks of network layer are identified in this paper. Some routing protocols are used for the security of MANET like SAODV, SRP, SEAD and Ariadne etc. In this paper, we present a review of routing attacks and their possible solutions for example, how to avoid f these attacks.

“…Examples of such attacks are as follows. Message flooding is one of the major attacks in the network layer, where, an attacker aims to exhaust network or node resources such as battery or bandwidth by sending a multitude of route establishment requests[57],[114]. Destination Oriented Directed Acyclic Graph (DODAG) Information Object Message, namely DIO, is used for advertising information about destination/root that is used to build the topology of RPL.…”
