Impact and Performance Analysis of WORMHOLE Attack on AODV in MANET using NS2

Manju Ojha, Dr. Rajendra Singh Kushwah

Abstract: An ad-hoc network is a infrastructure less network i. e. there is no fix infrastructure. Each node is a mobile node and can act as a router; a source or a base station. There is no central coordinator. AODV is a well known on-demand routing protocol and is prone to WORMHOLE attack. Wormhole attack is one of the most common and harmful attack in MANET. In this paper we analyze and compare the performance of AODV before and under WORMHOLE attack on different AODV parameters. For this NS2 simulator has been used to study the performance of AODV on different number of nodes.
