A Study of Black Hole Attack Solutions

Preface

Mobile wireless ad hoc networks (MANETs) are non-concentrated wireless networks that can be formulated without the need for any preexisting infrastructure in which every node can behave as a router. For transferring information to nodes that are out of its transmission range, the node should detect its local neighbors and through them, it will do transmission. MANET’s characteristics like open medium, dynamic topology, lack of clear lines of defence makes the network so vulnerable to various attacks. One of the best and popular routing protocols that is used in MANET is ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV). AODV is gravely influenced by a famous attack in which a malicious node sends a forged route reply message that it ...
