Implementation, Detection and Prevention of Black hole Attack for Mobile Ad-hoc Network Scenario using NS-2

Raghvendra Prasad, Kuntal Barua

Abstract: In MANET there are many attacks, the black hole attack is one of the well-known security threats in mobile ad-hoc networks. The attacker node utilizes the illegal action to carry out their malicious behaviors because the route discovery process is necessary and inevitable. Many researchers have conducted different detection techniques to propose different types of detection schemes. In this paper, we will suggest a solution for prevention of attacks and discuss the state-of-the-art for various routing methods. We not only classify these proposals into single black hole attack and collaborative black hole attack but also analyze the categories of these solutions and provide a comparison table. We expect to furnish more researchers with a detailed work in anticipation.
