Review of DDoS and Flooding Attacks in MANET

Mohan K. Mali, Pramod A. Jadhav · 2013

Service) attacks are acts as major threats for MANET because of its ability to create huge amount of unwanted traffic. It is very difficult to detect and respond to flooding and DDoS attacks due to large and complex network environments. In this paper, we introduce dynamic counter-based broadcast technique for detecting and controlling flooding attack, average distance estimation technique for detecting and rate limiting technique for controlling DDoS attack. Dynamic counter-based technique proposed to reduce redundant rebroadcasts in order to overcome the “broadcast storm problem”. The average distance estimation detects DDoS attacks by analyzing distance values. In the average distance estimation DDoS detection technique, the prediction of mean distance value is used to define normality. The mean absolute deviation (MAD)-based deviation model provides the legal scope to separate the normality from the abnormality for average distance estimation techniques.
