Study of Rushing Attack in MANET
Gajendra SinghChandel, Rajul Chowksi · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2013
A mobile ad-hoc network or MANET incorporates mobile nodes that forward information or packets from node to node without a wired connection.This is the topology changes rapidly and unproductively, there is no central control for routing of packets.The communication is on mutual trust.There are many proposed routing protocol, on-demand routing is most preferable among all as its overhead is very low.This significantly attention has been paid on developing a secure reactive protocol against various attacks.In this paper a survey and study about rushing attack is provided.This attack results in denial-of-services and is effectively damaging as it can also be performed by weak attacker.Thus a Rushing attack prevention (RAP); generic rushing attack prevention mechanism introduced for the reactive protocols.
