Detection and Prevention of Blackhole Attack in MANET Using ACO
T Rakesh, Deepthi P. Hudedagaddi · 2012
Summary With the increase in use of MANETS, security has become an essential requirement to provide protected communication between mobile nodes. To overcome the challenges, there is a need to build a multifence security solution that achieves both broad protection and desirable network performance. MANETs are vulnerable to various attacks. Blackhole is one of the possible attacks. Black hole is a type of routing attack where a malicious node advertises itself as having the shortest path to all nodes in the environment by sending fake route reply. By doing this, the malicious node can deprive the traffic from the source node. It can be used as a denial-of-service attack where it can drop the packets later. In section 1, we have given
