Survey on Mobile Ad Hoc Network Attacks and Mitigation Using Routing Protocols

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) due to its unpredictable topology and bandwidth limitations are vulnera ble to attacks. Establishing security measures and find ing secure routes are the major challenges faced by MANET. Security issues faced by ad hoc networks are node a uthentication, insider attack and intrusion detecti on. Implementing security measures is challenging due to the presence of limited resources in the hardware device and the network. Routing protocols attempt to mitig ate the attacks by isolating the malicious nodes. In this study, a survey of various kinds of attacks against MANET is studied. It is also proposed to study modificati on of AODV and DSR routing protocol implementation with regard to mitigating attacks and intrusion detection . This study studied various approaches to predict and mit igate attacks in MANET.
